Visualize community garden with ASCII (colored) #108

Dear Astrobotany community,

I would like to propose a change to the image of the community garden page.

The image consists of single characters representing one flower. With correct coloring and growth stage each plant is drawn in a fixed position. When the plant is dry it gets colorless. This way you can easily see the condition of the whole garden. As a bonus I added the koi pond with the cute koi showing off the blessed color. Can you spot your flower? :)

Timelapse (each image 1 day - 2 weeks total) grey

All code is done in python. If this feature is of interest I'd try to create a pull request, hopefully with the help of @michael-lazar

Have a nice day and see you in the garden. jstaxton

I tried to commit a first file showing the creation of this image.

@JStaxton Thanks! It will take a little while to integrate this, and to be honest I'll probably end up re-writing most of the code to better fit into the existing framework. But it's super useful to have your PR code as a reference to work off of.

@michael-lazar Thats absolutely no problem. The important part is the idea and inspiration. If my code and/or comments help to convey that, I'm happy. Looking forward to see your implementation.
