About your Garden:
Are there seasons in the game? Can you skip them?
There are four seasons to experience in Garden Life, each lasting 30 in-game days. In the creative mode, they can be changed instantly. There are no adverse effects on the plants in different seasons, but you will notice different items in the shop, different customisation options for the garden fence, and a difference in the price of certain bouquets when you sell them in your stall.
In story mode, you can't skip seasons. In creative mode, you can go into the shed and change the season by selecting the pictures just underneath the clock.
Can I customize the decorations?
There is a brush you can purchase from Leslie's shop that can change all of the placeable decoration's colors.
How do we get new seeds and decorations?
Seeds can be gained from a few ways: purchased from the shop, harvested from established plants, or given as a reward for a request or mission.
How do we get new seed colors?
When a plant is ready to harvest, you will have a small light (VFX) coming from them. This will indicate a new seed. If the VFX is green, the seed will be the same colour as the plant you are harvesting from, and if it is a pink, the seed will be a different colour as the plant you are harvesting from. In creative mode, all colours are available from the start in the shed.
Can we extend the garden? Can we unlock the garden? How do I unlock the new zones?
In story mode, play through the game by completing missions and requests for the characters. Once available, use the customisation board at the entrance of the Garden to unlock new areas.
How do we know a plant can climb? Why is my climbing plant not climbing?
In the plant book inside the shed: you can see the type of plant you have (normal, bush or climbing plant). Climbing plants are: Ivy, Clematis, Morning glory and Jasmine.
Make sure you have placed the plant close to an item that has height (such as a trellis or fence). Cut the top of the plant and check back: climbers can be tricky to get to take, so regular pruning is required.
How do I know my plant is infected?
You will see a small cloud of black flies and hear a buzzing in the location of the infected plant.
How to get rid of pests?
You can get a pest removal spray for free in Leslie's shop.
Can I move a plant?
You are able to move plants with the trowel tool which you can purchase from the shop.

How to get rocks? How to get sticks?
Rocks can be found at the start of your game in your garden and then, to get more stones and sticks, you will need to use the shop. You can craft large rocks into smaller ones at the crafting bench in your shed.
Where can I sell things? How do I unlock the stand / stall? Can I sell my bouquets?
In story mode, play through the game by completing missions and requests for the characters. You will eventually unlock a stall in the village's square where you can sell cut flowers and bouquets.
