Petal Grove
About this game
Cultivate a peaceful sanctuary filled with swaying blossoms, gentle weather, and curious wildlife.

How to play
Petal Grove is a calm garden with no timer and no way to lose. Plant a seed and it grows from a sprout to a bud to a full bloom. Once it blooms, it drifts petals your way for as long as you keep it. Petals buy new seeds, clear more soil (up to 24 patches) and pay for decorations.
Plants need water to keep growing. A thirsty plant shows a 💧 and simply waits, still giving half its petals, so nothing ever withers. Gentle rain waters the whole garden now and then, and a sprinkler keeps its neighbours watered for you.
Fourteen flowers
Start with daisies and work up through tulips, poppies, lavender, sunflowers, bluebells, roses, lilies, peonies and cherry trees, to the moonflower (triple petals at night), the snowdrop (triple petals in winter), the lotus and the rare Golden Lotus. Bigger flowers take longer to grow but give far more.
Visitors
Seventeen visitors come to gardens they like: butterflies, honeybees, a ladybird, robins and bluebirds, a hummingbird, a frog and a dragonfly at the pond, a sleepy cat on the bench, a hedgehog at dusk, fireflies, a luna moth and a little owl at night, and a golden koi. Every visitor in your garden adds 6% more petals. The Journal hints at what each one likes, so you can plan your garden to invite them.
Days, seasons and time away
- A day lasts four minutes, and the seasons turn every five: spring blossom, summer sun, autumn leaves, winter snow.
- Some visitors only come at night, so it's worth leaving the garden open after dark.
- Your garden keeps growing while you're away (up to 8 hours, at a gentler pace) and welcomes you back with the petals it gathered.
- Soft generative music plays in the background. Toggle it with 🎵.
Tips
- Clear new patches early. More flowers means more petals for everything else.
- Mix flower types: many visitors want two or three of one kind.
- A pond, birdbath, bench and lantern each bring their own visitors.
- Tap the selected seed or decoration in the bottom tray again to open its menu.
