First off, I do absolutely love this game. But how am I supposed to write a good review if I get to a point in the game where half way through the day the game just keeps freezing. I can’t make progress since you only save at the end of every day. How could I rate this good if I can’t even play it? Incredible disappointment because IF this game was actually playable to me, this review would be incredibly different. There’s just no way to say it’s recommended or good if you ultimately cannot even play it. Very upsetting.

You are in charge of an abandoned community garden and decide to roll up your sleeves to restore it to its former glory. Complete tasks given to you by your neighbours to earn rewards, unlock new tools, seeds, ornaments and areas of the garden, and learn more about what lies behind this secluded spot.
Instantly unlock every corner of your garden, including all the seeds and ornaments, and give free rein to your creativity: in this restriction-free mode, you can bring your dream designs to life!
Procedural growth simulation developed specifically for the game ensures each plant grows in its own way! Each and every plant grows procedurally, and some even adapt to their environment by climbing if planted close to certain objects.
In Garden Life, you are not restricted by a grid: place plants and objects freely to create your designs!
Head to the village square to sell flowers and bouquets at your stall and use the earnings to buy new seeds, ornaments and tools in the shop. You can also donates flowers to help create huge floral sculptures in the pavilion and win adorable prizes!

Super cozy and relaxing. Fulfill orders at your own pace, and decorate your garden! I am excited to unlock the greenhouse next.
This game brings me a lot of joy, its relaxing, enjoyable, and even pulled at my heart. I recommend it big time for garden enjoyers.
I really like this game, the attention to detail in the setting and characters is stunning. I also like the different characters and how you build the community through the garden. I've also learned the names and hybrid color options for tons of flowers which is really cool. I recommend it :)
Despite some sometimes buggy tutorial quests, it seems fun at first, until you realise the game-play is just watering and collecting seeds everyday, trying to unlock a handful of different colours for a limited set of flower types. The initial promise of the various characters quickly reveals zero depth there. And more importantly, there are so few flower types! They haven't updated this game in forever, so I doubt they will add more. But wait, there are two or three new flowers available but you will have to purchase two separate DLC packs to get them. Honestly I wish I never bought this one. Feels like a scam.
ngl, the gameplay loop sucked me in. the graphics and music complement the sweet simple task of beautifying my simulated garden. simple daily tasks alongside long term collecting for the pavilion kept me balancing the amount of cuttings i had of each flower type and color and just WOW! <3
Great little game. Keeps you occupied for hours. The graphics are beautiful and I love the variety of colors the plants come in. I do wish there were more plants.
It is simplistic, not too difficult to understand, but the progression of the game can feel very slow at times, especially in the later stages and when going for completion. It is a great and relaxing experience, but you do need patience
nice plant physiks
