In Gardener, plant and maintain accurately simulated gardens, made of your own procedurally generated plant species, grown with artificial selection genetics and authentic gardening techniques. Restore abandoned gardens to lure critters and local fauna, manage lush orchards for seasonal profits, and design dream lawns, backyards, and forests. Carefully balance nutrients to optimize the growth potential of every leaf and fruit, counter pests, fungi, and diseases, unlock new areas and utilities, and learn how advanced pruning, grafting, and training techniques affect plant growth, to become a Master Gardener.

🍀Every Leaf Lives🌞

With unparalleled simulation depth, each leaf, petal, and branch in Gardener carries its unique genetic signature, needs, and tale. Shape the bushes with precision pruners, train fruiting trees to maximize yields, and select the prime specimens for cloning or trade. No two plants are ever the same—each one is a unique living entity with its own story to tell.

🍏The Apple Does Not Fall Far From The Tree🌳

Handpick the finest fruits and flowers, utilizing advanced grafting techniques to cultivate supreme species. By selectively inheriting the most desirable traits over successive generations, you'll cultivate rarities unseen in commercial seeds. Engineer your own highly sought-after varieties, paving your way to botanical eminence and unparalleled profitability.

👨‍🌾For Sustainable Ecosystems👩‍🌾

This isn't just another game about lawnmowing and propping up garden gnomes. Wield your mower sparingly and only when necessary, to create environments where critters and insects thrive. With diverse flora to provide pollination opportunities, tall grass to retain precious moisture, and an understanding that no plant thrives on a golf course, you'll cultivate a happy garden for delighted hedgehogs and squirrels.

🌻Master Plants Care - From Lawnyards to Orchards🥕

Each seedling is the beginning of an extensive voyage. Tend to your plants with diligent watering, provide ample sunlight, offer the right mix of nutrients, and fend off invasive pests. Monitor the faintest variations in foliage and fruit to detect issues early and respond promptly. It's the meticulous care that elevates plants to their utmost growth, sometimes exceeding even what nature intended.

🌳Infinite Species Customizability🌲

The procedural nature of plant growth allows for a never-ending variety of plant traits and combinations. Start with basic seeds and refine every aspect of your garden's flora, from the color spectrum of the blooms to their resistance to pesticides. With countless potential outcomes, your imagination and perseverance are the only limits to what you can create.

Gardener invites you to breathe life into the wild and forsaken, transforming neglected spaces into thriving nature sanctuaries. Guided by mischievous grove spirits, plant, cultivate, and design your way through diverse environments, unlocking new areas and utilities. Whether providing a sunlit haven for elusive fauna or a secluded nook for twilight creatures, your garden will beckon to all, inviting you to delve into the tranquil art of gardening and embark on an educational, botanical odyssey that turns the ordinary into the extraordinary.

State-of-the-art plant simulation, powered by cutting-edge growth models grounded in horticultural and genetic research.
Remarkable plant detail, individually brought to life down to a single leaf, each bearing its own unique characteristics, genetics, and conditions.
Each plant is a unique and unrepeatable procedurally generated specimen, shaped by a mix of accurate genetic simulation, random mutations and gardening care.
Each part of the plant can be tended to and harvested separately, educating about advanced grafting, pruning and training techniques to maximize yields.
Creating new plant species using selective breeding and artificial selection, with traits ranging from color differences and bigger fruits, to herbicide resistance and rare patterns.
Environmental factors dramatically influence plant growth, taking into account light levels, hydration, pest interactions, microbial activity, fungal proliferation, and the availability of key nutrients such as Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), and Magnesium (Mg).
Customize, cultivate, and curate your personal digital Eden, exercising limitless creativity as you manage diverse environments ranging from cozy backyards, fertile farms, technologically advanced greenhouses, lush orchards, picturesque parks, to futuristic space research stations.
Embark on the gardening journey, whether as a tycoon maximizing profits through efficient cultivation, a trailblazing botanist creating next-gen species, or a serene gardener designing beautiful, unique havens.
