We already know Hui and Lottie, who voted Greenie, are innocent, so does that speak in Legate's favour possibly?
I read the 'little gardener' as referring to Lottie, who started the game with a banter post about gardening, and who we now know was gifted.

I think I read this as a warning not to rely too much on the Dead (leave the Quest to others) and an admonition for all of us to participate.
