About the 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.
