It was some winter in Midwest, but we can begin to think of sprinklers
again!

As an excited newbie, I'd like some help selecting the best sprinklers
for my tasks:

(1) I have two small gardens in the front: each about 20x20. This is
not lawn, but various plants. What would be a good tyoe of sprinker for
this situation? Water should come down gently, evenly all over, and
high enough to clear small plants and shrubs.

(2) In the back I have a 60x40 yard with a diagonal path in the middle,
splitting the yard in two triangles. This is all lawn. I'd like to
avoid the path as much as possible.

I would greatly appreciate advice on types as well as brands.

My local gardening store, which seems fancy by Home Depot or Sears
standards, carries gardena and Dramm(?). But I can mail-order if
something else would be more suitable.

Thank you very much.
