About this game
Gardenhood is a cozy multiplayer gardening game where up to 8 players share one island. Claim a plot, grow something worth showing off, and wave to the neighbors — or play solo and keep the whole island to yourself.
ONE ISLAND, EIGHT GARDENERS Hop into a public lobby or invite your friends. You'll each tend your own plot side by side — watch the neighbors' gardens fill in while yours does, chat over the fence, show off your rarest harvest, and fish together while the crops come in. Prefer the quiet life? Everything in Gardenhood works solo too.
Gardening
FROM CARROT SEEDS TO CURIOSITIES Till the soil, plant your first humble seeds, and water them to hurry things along. Every harvest you sell unlocks rarer, stranger, more valuable seeds — and the cycle begins again. The question isn't whether your garden grows. It's what it grows into.
CHASE RARE MUTATIONS Sometimes a crop comes up... different. Mutated plants are rarer, worth more, and the pride of any plot. Sell them for a windfall — or keep them on display for the neighborhood to envy.
Fishing
GONE FISHING (WHILE THE CROPS COME IN) Seeds take time. Grab a rod, head to the pond, and fill the quiet moments between harvests — fishing pads your coin purse and makes a fine excuse to stand around chatting.
Building
BUILD A HOME WORTH VISITING Put your earnings into a house of your own, craft at your workbench, and decorate with cute furniture. On a shared island, your home isn't just where you live — it's part of the view.
