Two modes to awaken your creativity
The game’s Story mode immerses you in the warm atmosphere of a charming, secluded village, where you take over the care of a community garden let run to ruin since the disappearance of the old steward. This mode lets you familiarise yourself with gardening at your own pace, while teaming up with the villagers to give the garden a new lease of life.

In Creative mode, you can give free rein to your imagination, and design your garden with no restrictions. You will be able to access all the tools, plants, structures and items from the outset, to help you build the garden of your dreams.

Game features:

Garden at your own pace as you get to grips with the tools, and transform an abandoned plot into a flourishing community garden
Enhance your garden over time using various types of structures, such as the greenhouse to protect your young plants from pests, and provide optimal conditions for growth
Use your craft table to make ornaments or put together bouquets that you can sell in the village square
Help out your fellow villagers in Story mode by meeting their requests, and earning various rewards with which you can further enhance your garden
Let your creativity run free in Creative mode, to create the garden of your dreams and immortalise it using Photo mode
