The Sphinx's Other Riddle Mystery Cache

At the first stage's location you will find information (there is no physical cache there) that you can use to determine the coordinates for the final stage, which is where the cache container is located. The final stage is about 0.7 miles from the first stage (as the crow flies) but will require driving (unless you want to get very wet). There is parking near both stages.

But fewer are familiar with the Sphinx's Other Riddle:
      "Among my neighbors are a baker, a farmer and a gardener (but not spelled like that). Where am I?"

Recently, a slab was unearthed by archeologists containing hieroglyphs which are suspected to provide the answer to the Sphinx's Other Riddle. Unfortunately, the archeologist carrying the slab was startled suddenly by a snake and dropped it, causing it to break into a number of pieces.

By happenstance, the pieces on the floor fell roughly into two rows as shown below -- each piece in the bottom row fits somewhere between two pieces in the top row. By good luck, the pieces in the top row remained in the correct order, relative to one another. Unfortunately, the order of the pieces in the bottom row was scrambled.

A hint on solving the puzzle: You will need the help of a gardener (but not spelled like that). Also, possibly the first of the Additional Hints below.
