What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I have been working on Gardener for over 3 years with just couple closed-alpha testers, now i need a community feedback to shape the game and iron out the remaining bugs.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game should be out of Early Access at the beginning of 2026.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I plan to add more variety to the game with possibly more gardens, and plan features like decorative items, insects, animals, and procedurally generated leafs/fruits/flowers shapes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It's fully working beta version, with all basic features implemented, allowing full gameplay on limited number of gardens. Millions of different plants species can be designed, planted and taken care of using basic tools, plants consume nutrients, and can be grown in three modes. Growth can be charged by player with timelapsing.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will be increased after release, to match the amount of content available upon.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I want to include more community designed plants into the game, implement suggestions, improve gameplay balance/flow, and fix bugs based on the feedback.”

About This Game

Become master of time-lapsing...

In Gardener: Master of Trees and Flowers, the best time to plant a tree... is now.

With unlimited ability to accelerate years of growth in seconds, level up your gardens by nurturing complete local ecosystems and discovering new genetic traits from rare, native wild species to include in your own designs of unique, procedurally generated plants.

Become master of botany...

Fill the soil with completely customizable cultivars, and hybridize them with perks found only among the wildest weeds, hidden in high level gardens. Find the balance between manually nurturing each of your plants, and letting nature take its course in symbiotic relationships between flora, fauna, and the Gardener.

Become master of cultivation...

No plant is ever the same. Every branch and leaf has its own mutating genes, needs, and characteristics. Take clippings from stems to clone the mutated cultivars, trim the bushes, harvest fruits and flowers, and whack the invasive species, while preserving self-sustaining ecosystem chains, or force your will on nature with abundant pesticides, herbicides, and hyper-resistant GMO species, mowing your way to becoming Master Gardener.

Become the Master Gardener.

  • Level up your gardens and discover new plant upgrades with two mischievous tree spirits, Kodama and Yamabiko, guiding you through authentic gardening techniques and mechanics In Gardener mode.

  • Maximize your orchard yields with the most comprehensive and in-depth botanical simulation ever made in Realistic mode.

  • Design your dream, care-free gardens and plants in sandbox Creative mode.

  • Over ~10²⁸ millions possible plant species to discover, design, seed and grow.

  • Cutting-edge simulated plants, brought to life down to a single leaf, bearing its own unique characteristics and conditions, grounded in horticultural and genetic research.

  • Unique and unrepeatable procedurally generated specimens, shaped by a mix of genetics, random mutations, and gardening care.

  • Grafting, pruning, and training techniques affecting yields and plant stress.

  • Design new species with dedicated Plant Creator editor, selective breeding, and artificial selection, with traits ranging from color differences and bigger fruits to herbicide resistance and rare patterns.

  • Environment influences plant growth, accounting for light levels, hydration, pest interactions, microbial activity, fungal proliferation, and the availability of key nutrients such as Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), and Magnesium (Mg).

  • Simulated ecosystem chains of animals, insects, and microbial life, creating a living web of pests, prey, predators, and pollinators.
