I have seen grass and, trees, vegetation and buildings in some pictures on the Terragen website. How do you, if you can, get these on the TG2 Technology preview?

Almost all of these features are accomplished using imported models from other sources. TG2 is not a modeling program so you must use another program to create your model, or obtain existing models through purchase of free distribution. There are many sources for such models. For plants XFrog is one of the best sources, for example. TG2 does also include a limited built-in "grass" object which can be fine-tuned and textured for decent results. You can find it in the Object layout area under Add Object.

okay, can you list some websites that do this kind of stuff and how i put the two together??

To put the two together...you're already at the right place. Just search through these forums and you will find loads of information how to use these models in TG2.
A few plant-models come along with the TG2 tech preview. X-frog models are 'the best' so to say. A few free x-frog plants can be downloaded here:
