What players say
I was able to play this game for about an hour in January 2023 and wanted to revisit it. The game doesn't start up anymore. When I launch it, I get a black screen.

I wish I had refunded this when I had the chance. It isn't a bad game, it's just not to my taste. I don't want a garden game that functions in real time. I want to be able to grow my plants, tend to them and harvest them in one sitting. I thought I would enjoy it, which is why I bought it, but it didn't end up being for me. And the other gameplay elements haven't managed to capture my attention enough to make it...
Lovely and chill game for plant lovers. You get to decorate, grow fantasy plants, discover their hybrids and even PET them! I wish it had more content so I could keep playing, but I'm very happy with my playthrough :)
