My Garden

About

My Garden is a cozy gardening simulator where you take control of a young girl tasked with maintaining a flourishing garden. Instead of farming, your focus is on planting various seeds, tending to different plants and trees, and selling your harvest to earn money for new tools and upgrades. Time passes in real-time cycles, with each day divided into hours that dictate your activities. A stamina gauge limits how much you can work before needing to rest or eat sweets to recover. The game’s charm lies in its relaxed pace and detailed plant care mechanics. While it shares similarities with early 90s sim games, its focus on horticulture sets it apart. Players appreciate the simple joy of watching plants grow and the satisfaction of expanding the garden over time. With a small but dedicated following, it remains a nostalgic pick for those who enjoy slow-paced life simulations. Its PlayStation roots and 1999 release date make it a curious artifact of an earlier era of the genre.

Storyline

You are a young girl who is sent off to your grandmother's home to help her out with her gardening, as her age is making it more difficult for her to tend to it herself. Much of the gameplay is very reminiscent of Harvest Moon; time passes in days & hours, and players have a life gauge which limits the amount of work they can do in the course of one game day, but it can be slightly replenished by eating sweets or resting on benches.
