Des racines et des graines

A garden game where you will explore a calm and peaceful island. Gather some seeds from the vegetation and re-plant them close to each other to get hybrids. Day after day, you will cross-breed the plants to create some new ones, to finally find and restore the ultimate tree: Yggdrasil.
