Personally, I am not a big fan of garden based analogy. I think that the advertisement should be of ConTeXt (with link to context garden) rather than of Contextgarden.
Mojca asked for a contextgarden ad, not a generic ConTeXt ad.

I like the design by Hraban a lot, but the problem is that when a LaTeX user comes to the site and sees an advertisment for a garden, with a photo of garden and CTOETNT title, he has absolutely no idea what the advertisment is about. My first association would be some gardening tools. Even though it is visually nice, I would probably not click on it unless I was interested in flowers.
I thought the advertising would only appear on a TeX related site. Perhaps my use of Zapf Dingbats wasn’t typographical enough. But I don’t insist. Just delete my files on the garden.
The attachment by Hans is very nice, but doesn't tell anything, while the picture of a castle is really nice and does tell some story even to someone unfamiliar with ConTeXt: MathML, Metapost, XML, Lua, ...
The only remaining problem is photoshoping the image to remove 2011 and Belgium if we want to create a generic add.

Thank you very much, I added it to SX, feel free to vote: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1184/community-promotion-ads-1h-... I'm missing a clear message to the user, but I'm not sure what that could be. I only wrote "ConTeXt" for "mouse over". Suggestions for better text are welcome. Mojca PS: It is a pitty that Taco didn't send you the original high resolution before you started, but this one is just fine. I have chosen to do exact 0.5x magnification in order to avoid weird artifacts, so one foot is missing now :) Something is missing in the part where 2011 was written, but well ... we will figure something out. I can still edit the post.
