I'm trying to build a competetive Populate deck.  This is what I've got so far:

1X Temple Garden
2X Grove of the Guardian
4X Sunpetal Grove
4X Selesnya Guildgate
9X Forest
4X Plains

2X Parallel Lives
2X Sundering Growth
1X Rootborn Defenses
1X Wild Beastmaster
4X Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage
1X Sphere of Safety
1X Armada Wurm
2X Collective Blessing
4X Call of the Conclave
1X Mana Bloom
2X Tablet of the Guilds
2X Coursers' Accord
2X Precinct Captain
2X Rancor
4X Wayfaring Temple
2X Selesnya Keyrune
4X Druid's Deliverance

I would appreciate any advice or suggestions.  I would also appreciate any advice on a sideboard.  Thanks!

well from the looks of it your trying to keep the deck in standard format 
1) add a couple more Parallel Lives. remember they stack well 1 token = 2 =4=8=16 a quick way to build an army with little effort
2) if you were willing to splash black you could throw in a couple Corpsejack Menace and a couple Common Bonds this combo would make your monsters pretty epic fairly easily. With a Golgari Guildgate and Golgari Keyrune you can splash quite easily. Also Death's Presence would help this combo also. Add in Gobbling Ooze and you can have a lot of fun with it.
3) you want to add a Growing Ranks. Phantom General is nice too. Power up them tokens lol. Slime Molding would fit in here also.
here are a few suggestions use em don't depending on your play style and what not also Wild Beastmaster i would get rid of yeah when it atks it buffs your other creatures but if it isn't buffed itself it doesn't help much at all best case scenario i would use it as filler or in a different deck. that's just my opinion though.

I've got some Growing Ranks on the way.  They will definatly find their way in there.  How about Intangible Virtue instead of Phantom General ?

I've also got a Trostani, Selesnya's Voice and a Garruk, Primal Hunter on the way.  You think they would fit in?

Yes Intangible Virtue would work better probably because less ways to destroy it lol i like the trostani it will fit nicely on the garruk u could use primal hunter or wildspeaker the reason i meantion wildspeaker is because he summons tokens and has a overrun ability which will help u finish the game

What to cut :
Sphere of Safety
Mana Bloom
Tablet of the Guilds
Courser's Accord

Switch Rootborn Defenses (more) & Druid's Deliverance (less).
Look for 'creatures with benefits' such as Geist-Honored Monk , Attended Knight , Captain of the Watch , and of course the new worm. Intangible Virtue is a definite 4-of.

Splash black and you have Lingering Souls and Vault of the Archangel , which would be brutal in this deck with Collective Blessing .

i agree with the tablet, sphere, and Courser's removal but if your gonna splash black mana bloom will be a nice way to get the black mana you need with out wasting a mana source. Also i like the ideas for Geist, Attended and Captain if your looking for a Planeswalker to add in here i would seriously look @ Ajani in combo with the splash black i suggested u get +1/+1 counters and when big enough u get quite a few tokens (lets say your life is 15 atm use ajani's last ability that 15 tokens plus if u have 1 Parallel Lives = 30 tokens if u have 2 thats 60 if u have 3 thats 120 and if u have 4 thats 240 tokens uber army in seconds) also look into Primordial Hydra w/ Corpsejack Menace combo and u have a very powerful angry hydra rofl

I'm not sure any card costing ccc really belongs, though. You have 12 duals, but two of your lands exist to be popped.
