The Garden Path has blossomed into the world on PC and Nintendo Switch - and we’re providing a handy manual on how to spend your first day in the garden!
We encourage players to explore and follow their curiosity - but if you need a nudge in the right direction, this guide is for you! A written guide is included below, but if you’d like a video guide check out our TikTok account!
1. Meet the residents
You might notice some unfamiliar faces in the Garden! Make sure to chat with the residents and travelling merchants, they might just have some tasks for you to help out with. Look out for ? on the map to see who you haven’t met yet.
2. Record new plants and trees
You’ll notice that after you focus on an area, you get the option to record or harvest. You might not have the right tools yet to harvest some things in the garden, but the pen is mightier than the sword after all! Try recording information on plants to increase your knowledge, unlocking harvesting info that might be useful later.
3. Seek out tools and equip them
If you don’t quite have everything you need, different traders offer different tools to help you with your foraging and harvesting! Make sure to come back tomorrow if you can’t quite find what you need yet. A new merchant might come by with just what you need! Once you’ve found the right tool, you’ll need to equip it in your inventory by just selecting use.
Those are our big three tips for Day 1 in the Garden Path! Remember that the game is meant to be enjoyed in short and sweet bites, so if you’re not quite sure what to do next - log on tomorrow to see how the Garden has grown around you.
