Wiring a workshop for lighting and outlets.?

I just had a 100 amp sub-panel run to my workshop. The electrician gave me a gfi courtesy outlet and that is it. I would like to run all of the wiring from this point myself. The walls are open and the studs are exposed. The work shop is 16 feet wide by 30 feet deep. It is an old single car garage that lost its power source 10 years ago. How many florescent light fixtures, should I put in it? Any idea how many outlets I should use and how many circuits I should use for power and lighting (I ume at least three)? The workshop will be used for lite wood working and storage, my main interest is gardening/landscaping, so most of the woodworking would be for stuff around the garden. It is a big place and I am lucky to have it and I would like to get it right after going through the expense of having the conduit run, etc. Any feedback would be appreciated.
