About This Game

Wonder Garden is a little garden that lives on your desktop, right over your wallpaper and next to the things you do every day. Draw a few shelves, drag a seed from your pouch, and your garden starts to grow while you work, study or just relax.

Plants grow in real time, over days rather than minutes (your very first one grows up within an hour, to say hello). Water a plant when it asks, and grown plants earn coins for new seeds, pots and decorations. Forget about it for a while? It wilts, but nothing ever dies: water it and it comes back.

Every seed carries its own genes, so no two plants are ever the same: hydrangeas in twelve colours, lilies with freckles or ruffles, a fern that unrolls copper fronds, a poinsettia that turns red for Christmas by your calendar. Collect every form and colour in the Garden Almanac – and share a seed code so a friend can grow exactly your plant.

Raise caterpillars into seven species of butterflies that drink from your flowers and bask on the leaves. Brush a mimosa and it folds its leaves; touch a Venus flytrap twice and it snaps shut. Now and then a rare guest drops by – a ladybird, a hummingbird hawk-moth, a snail on a damp night, fireflies on a summer evening.

Draw shelves anywhere on your desktop and dress them up: dozens of pots in ceramic, stone, brass and rattan, hanging planters, string lights, little books, a sleeping cat, a candle that really flickers, a grow light for faster growth.

On Windows and macOS your garden lives on shelves you draw yourself. On macOS your plants can also settle right on top of your desktop widgets. The garden rests when nobody is looking and has a power-saving mode for laptops.
