Welcome to your very own garden, where very little is urgent and almost everything is slightly magical.
Pottering About is a cosy game of gardening, foraging and gentle alchemy. Plant a seed, wait for it to grow (rain helps, tapping it impatiently does not), then send your gardener into the woods with a basket and see what comes back. It might be a rare herb. It might be a very confident mushroom. Nobody knows.
GROW
Dig a hole, pop something in and see what happens. Every plant has its own habits, likes and dislikes, and some of them are very particular. Flowers come and go, herbs keep giving, and trees take their time, need the odd drink of water and eventually retire gracefully. Fruit trees even get their own walled orchard once you have cleared the brambles.
FORAGE
Wave your gardener off up the trail and wait for the basket to return. Over four hundred finds are out there, from common weeds to treasures you will boast about for days. Some only turn up at certain times, in certain seasons or in certain weather. Nobody will tell you which. The woods like their secrets.
BREW
Grind, chop, simmer and stir. Nearly two hundred recipes are waiting to be discovered, from honest dinners to potions with opinions. The recipes are secret, so you will have to experiment, keep a diary and listen to the old garden shrine, who is wise, but also a bit of a joker.
MEET THE VISITORS
Robins, hedgehogs, dragonflies, toads and a few very rare callers drop by when your garden suits them. Be a good host and they may leave a gift. Be a bad one and they will simply tut and leave.
SHOW OFF
Fill your encyclopaedia, earn awards, climb the leaderboard and swap spare finds on the listing board with other gardeners. Please be nice. The hedgehogs are watching.
NO ADVERTS. NO PRESSURE. NO RUSH.
The game is gentle on purpose, and no animals were harmed in the making of it. The whole thing can be played for free. The optional Garden Club (an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly, with a bigger token pouch, faster tokens and a small daily gift) and the token and coin packs are just a little extra magic, and nothing is locked behind them. Payment is charged to your Apple ID, and subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. You can manage or cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
It is a game, so please never eat anything from a real hedgerow unless you are completely certain what it is. Your gardener has questionable judgement. You should not.
