  • Garden Joy

    Love designing gardens! No worries about watering , climate, etc. it’s a lot of fun! And I’ve learned so much about different plant species!
    I would recommend this app to anyone who wants to reduce their stress levels!
  • Fun game

    Fun to play but would be better if you could get more things with coins instead of diamonds
  • Addicted

    This is one of the best design game app ever. Absolutely love it. Beautiful designs. Great challenges. Awesome rewards. Love love love
  • Very few rewards

    I enjoy design games but this one is incredibly difficult to do well unless you regularly spend money on it. It offers the least of any of the games I use, very few diamonds, very little money. And it can take days to get the results of designs which offer little in the way of rewards. It’s a shame as it could be really good. They’re far more focussed on earning money than any other developer.

  • Some issues but Great Customer Support

    I have been playing since the beginning. Have finally made it to Level 40 as a supposed “Garden Legend”. Haha, wish I was a “Legend” in my own backyard as even my houseplants are dying😢. I love this game. And, while I fully agree with many of the other reviews, I have gone into the actual “chat with us” under settings and wrote long complaints about the same issues. Mostly me spending lots of my own personal $$$ on diamonds (my choice) just to win the partner/co-op challenges. I agree, people take advantage of others they know will spend money to get them the prizes to win. I now will not accept a partner I know will not contribute and have my own list of “acceptable partners” and those that slack off. 😏I also complained about certain items only obtained with gems and not coins. However, with every complaint I have written, I have received a well thought out and detailed response by the GJ support/CS team. They are listening and are making changes as soon as is possible. I thank the support for caring enough to always respond with well thought out answers. It matters that you hear us.

  • Garden Joy and so it is!

    I can’t believe how much I like this game……. actually it is not a game as such, more of an experience! Am a bit confused about “ growing “plants and watering and areas and when I am told I am growing already, so I just muddle along! It may become clear…..
  • Good game

    It’s a good game. A fun past time.
    However, I do think that there needs to end a better way to earn coins.
    For instance, most of the items are priced in diamonds, and there’s not enough opportunity to earn diamonds or earn a large amount of them unless you buy them.

    Also the items are too expensive and for how much coins you’re earning every garden you design, it’s not feasible. I think if you improved is the game would be better. Like when you to make your design you earn coins, the coins, that your own should be more than 1000 given how expensive the pricing is. Additionally, when you get the results of your design, you should be able to earn coins as well, and depending on your score is how much coins you would earn.

    All in all, it’s a good game, but I do think it will be better if you improved the ways to earn coins. and to be honest, scrapped the use of diamonds. Since it’s not easy to earn them, unless you buy them. Or also if you run some kind of sales events where the prices get slashed in half. It would help.

  • Good game with issues

    I actually really like the game. It’s very calming and unexpectedly engrossing. The details in the art are amazing- the lighting in a scene will actually change depending on what you place in it. The more you play, the more items you can win and the more fun you have. The downside to the game is that many of the areas to decorate are absurdly generic. There is literally just a backyard and a fence that could be anywhere in the world, instead of Tunisia. But I just avoid the very generic ones, so that’s not too bad since I wouldn’t have enough resources to decorate them all, anyways. What’s really bugging me now is this friendship thing they’re pushing when there is NO WAY in the game to add friends, other than to invite people you know in real life to join the game. So I have a mostly dead friend list that’s left over from when they had clubs, with no way to add anyone new. I have all these friend gifts, and no one to give them to. So if that friend thing is what’s getting you to join the game, think again. Also, not many things in the game match. It is almost impossible to find a sofa and chair that match, whether in color, style, design or size. It can be very frustrating. The tables are usually waaaay too large for the size of the chairs, but then some of the chairs are so tiny it’s like they’re for children. Hopefully the game designers will see this, since I really do like the concept and look of the game, but would like to see it done better.

  • I never write reviews

    I never write reviews, but I needed to come here and give this app a 5 star rating. I do wish the items you need to buy gems for could be a little cheaper, because I end up spending more than I’d like to, but this game literally puts me in a peaceful mind set and helps me cope with my anxiety. I do wish that we didn’t have to wait 4 hours for more levels, because I’d literally be playing this game ALLL day if I had the time to. I think that the developers can only make the app better from here. Another suggestion for the developers is to have the monthly pass include more gems because it would encourage more players to spend the money each month, I’d personally rather buy 20$ worth of gems then buy the garden pass because you get so much more out of the gems in this game. But anyways, great game, and like another reviewer said we have to weed out the “freeloaders” in the challenges because it’s really not fair to those of us who are trying. Thanks!

  • Needs tweaks..

    The game is fun. Has a lot of potential but definitely needs to be tweaked a bit. No need to spend money as it does have plenty different ways to get rewards however, if you’re low on items or simply have to have what everyone else does then plenty of different packets to choose from. Prices are high and most items require diamonds. That’s the first thing they need to adjust. Either lower the price or make every tab have equal amount of coin and diamond options. There are challenges which require partnering up but it can get tricky. Sometimes you have to do it all and for that, might as well have an option where we can partner up or do it solo. Finally, it would be nice to be able to inbox friends. I would say a world chat would be nice but seeing all the complaints on Facebook kinda distracted me away from that idea. But being able to message friends in game would be great. Also, voting..perhaps make it so that once a player gets a 5 star they’re removed from the voting pool. Because indeed that voting system is not very fair. So as you see it’s all little tweaks that would make it better but nothing that makes it non fun. I thank you for the many perks you have for us to get prizes and items needed to design at no additional cost as well as all the options available in case we choose to purchase.
