Tips & Strategy

• Where to Get Plants: Buy seeds from planters, computers, or the Henford-on-Bagley grocery stall (if installed), or harvest wild plants after a few in-game days.
• Too Many Plants?: Hire a gardener NPC to help keep things tidy!
• Seasons Players: Keep valuable or delicate plants indoors for year-round growth.
• Combine with Freelance Work: Sell flower arrangements or harvested produce on the side for extra income.
