○ today i would like to discuss the steps for building your dream garden, including planning the layout, installing features, and planting greenery.
○ hi, my name is desta. today i would like to talk to you about the steps involved in building a garden.
○ i have been gardening for most of my adult life and im sure many of you are serious about gardening, too.

Explanation:

A speech preview statement outlines the key content the speaker will cover. The correct option clearly states the main steps (planning layout, installing features, planting greenery) that the speech will cover, which fits the definition of a preview. Other options are either a hook, self-introduction, or personal background, not a preview.

Answer:

C. Today I would like to discuss the steps for building your dream garden, including planning the layout, installing features, and planting greenery.
