About This Game

A garden that lives on your desktop

Bouture puts small plants on your Windows desktop, standing on the taskbar or hanging from the top of the screen. They are alive in their own slow way: they grow while you work, their leaves droop when they are thirsty, and they bloom after weeks of care.

A few seconds a day

  • Double-click a plant to water it.

  • Take cuttings from grown plants and pot them.

  • Prune the vines, change pots and foliage colours, move everything where you like.

  • Nothing dies for good: a wilted plant recovers with one watering.

Always in sight, never in the way

Keep your plants on the desktop, or above your windows, where they fade under the cursor and let every click through. They step aside for full screen games and films.

An herbarium to fill

Every species you grow is pressed into your herbarium, with a stamp for each milestone and 20 achievements to earn.

What is in the game

  • 8 plants, 4 pots and 4 foliage colours in the base game.

  • 12 more plants, patterned pots and rare foliage as optional packs. They are purely cosmetic: nothing bought grows faster.

  • Steam Cloud, and 7 languages.
