One gets XP for crafting decorations, and there are one or two Goals relating to them -- one for making a Gingerbread House; I thought there was another? At any rate, they're not a high priority, but during times when the Workshop isn't otherwise busy, one might as well do something with it.

Before the Market opened, and before the Wondermine started spitting out a broad variety of random objects, it was worth converting my pile of unneeded apple tarts into Rock Gardens, instead of throwing them away. Likewise converting seedlings to bushes and trees and such. Now, of course, one can sell them in the market. Or at least offer them in the market; I find it hard to imagine anyone actually buying a large number of seedlings. If one wanted to do large-scale landscaping, it would probably be much simpler to just buy the plants.
