Decorating

Decorating in The Garden Path involves both furnishing areas of your Garden and also cultivating plants for the perfect atmosphere.

Using the Designer

The Designer is a UI system in the game that let's you freely place furnishings. It can be accessed while placing furniture or by clicking T (PC) or SELECT (Controller).

Transplanting

Small plants are able to be moved around the Garden via the Designer with the Shovel equipped.

By default, the plant will be planted in the default Soil of the Acre it is transplanted to. However, if a hole is already prepared, and filled with different soil, this allows a plant to grow in soil distinct from its containing acre.

Moving Placed Items

Once you've placed a furnishing, you can either pick it up by approaching and following the prompted instructions or by accessing the Designer tool as detailed above. In the case of your Ridge Tent, you must access the Designer tool to pick it up and move it to a new space.

Projects

Project Folders are an item sold by Thom that allow the player to plan areas of the Garden using a Bundle Of Popsticks.

To start a project, players select it from their inventory and place Popsticks to plan the area according to their liking. These smaller projects can then be assigned to different vegetable residents through the community board at the community center. The residents' personalities can influence the building process, with certain traits speeding up construction.

Judging your Garden

In the summer, the garden is judged by the character Aime, who provides a score the next day. Achieving a certain grade when the garden is judged will reward players with blueprints. Blueprints are for larger projects and appear as scaffolding. They are more ambitious than typical projects. These larger projects can also be assigned to residents using the community board at the community center.
