As I discussed above, if you use the Basic Worldbuilding chapter, you have the explicitly stated option of assuming that the planet you create is going to be a Garden world, and thus habitable. And then in the Advanced Worldbuilding chapter, you have the option of making that world one of the worlds in the system you're creating, so that the presence of a Garden world is assumed from the start.
