What are the brown squares in my garden?
Those are dirt pits. You can plant Seeds in them and grow new Plants.
Where do I get Seeds from?
You buy Seeds from the Garden shop. You can also get Seeds from Plants you successfully grow to maturity or through trading.
How do I plant a Seed?

How do Plants grow?
Each Plant has 5 lifespan stages. If you take good care of your Seed it will sprout, turn into a stem, grow leaves and then reach maturity. Once it reaches maturity, it will drop Seeds. Just like in real life, if you don’t take care of your Plant, it will die.
How do I check to see how my Plant is doing?
Click on a plant to bring up its information window. This window shows what the plant currently looks like, what lifespan stage it is in, and its health. You can see how your plant is doing by the Health bar – if the bar is getting low, you should care for your Plant or it might die.
How do I care for my Plant?

My Plant is sparkling – what does that mean?
Congrats! That means your Plant has reached maturity and has dropped Seeds. Click on the Plant and then click ‘Collect Seeds’.
What happens when my Plant reaches maturity?
When a Plant reaches maturity (becomes full-grown), it will drop Seeds which you can either re-plant, sell to the Garden shop or trade. If you help your Plant reach maturity by caring for it, you will also earn Experience Points (XP). You must click on your Plant in order to get the XP.
My Plant is all brown and withered. What happened?
Your Plant has moved on to that Great Greenhouse in the Sky! Dead plants take up room in your garden, and they look pretty ugly, so you should pull them.
Why did my Plant die?
If you don't take good care of your Plant (i.e. if its Health meter reaches zero), it will die. If you have a dead Plant in your garden, just pull it out.
How do I remove a Plant from my garden?
If you no longer want a Plant in your garden or if you have a dead Plant, you can remove it by pulling it out. Click on the Plant you want to remove and then choose the ‘Pull’ option. Your Plant will be removed from the pit, making room for a new Plant.
How do I know which Seeds to plant?
You can plant whatever Seeds you’d like – it is your garden after all! When looking at a Seed in the Garden shop or in your inventory, you can see what attributes it has by putting your mouse cursor over it. The attributes include the Plant’s name, its level, growth rate and how many leaves and flowers it will have when matured. It will also show an image of how the Plant will look when full-grown. This info can come in handy when decided what two Seeds to combine as the Plants you create will take attributes from both Seeds.
How do I combine Seeds?
Level 10 gardeners have the ability to combine two Seeds in one pit. By combining Seeds, you can create a Graft, which is Plant that takes attributes from both Seeds. This is a great way to grow unique Plants!
How do I use Gizmos?
Gizmos are special tools you use when gardening. They can do things like improve your Plant's health or alter its colour. To use a Gizmo, you must first click on a Plant. Then click on the Gizmo you want to use. You can only use a Gizmo in your inventory once, use it wisely.
Where can I sell Seeds?
You can sell the Seeds that are dropped by mature Plants to the Garden shop. The amount of Botanickels you will get for a Seed will depend on how valuable it is.
What determines how valuable a Seed is?
Seeds that have unique properties or are not as common are worth more Botanickels when you sell them.
How do I get more planting pits?
You can't. All Pods are limited to five planting pits.
