Plant. Wait. Harvest. Discover.

Idle Garden is a relaxing idle game about a little garden that grows in real time. Sow a seed, go and make a cup of tea, and come back to a plot full of ripe plants. Harvest for Leaves, buy more plots and tools, and unlock bigger, slower, more valuable plants.

Crossbreed to find new species

Plant two species side by side and an empty plot between them might sprout something new. There are 20 species to collect: 8 you unlock by growing, 6 hybrids with hints in the Collection Book, and 6 secret hybrids you'll only find by solving their riddles.

A garden that's alive

Bees, butterflies and ladybugs wander between your plants; fireflies come out at night. The sky follows your real clock, from morning light to starry evenings. Rare Golden and Giant plants pay out big, and earn golden badges.

A reason to come back every day

Daily weather changes how fast your plants grow. Open a free gift once a day. Finish three daily orders for bonus golden seeds. Your garden keeps growing while the game is closed. See what you earned when you return.

New Seasons

When your garden is huge, start a New Season: trade your Leaves for golden seeds and spend them on permanent perks, such as a Sprinkler Bot that harvests for you, faster growth, bigger harvests and a head start on every new season.
