The ultimate cosy feature addition that we didn't know our childhoods needed. Follow this guide to get started with your gardening empire!
Where and How to Garden?
The bulk of the gardening skill happens in your own room, but you'll need to find Ophelie and her plant nursery shop first. Using the in-game navigator under Public Rooms, look for the sections named Outside Spaces > Picnic Garden. Inside you'll find Ophelie at the top-left corner of the room. Click her, then click 'open shop' to access her goods!
 |
To buy her plants you'll need fruit tokens, an entirely free in-game currency earned from harvesting plants. But to get fruit tokens, you'll first need your very first plant! Look for the free strawberry plant for beginners (you can get one free strawberry plant daily), and to grow it you must take it to your own private room, place it down and water it by clicking 'water' (or simply double clicking it).
 |
This kicks off the first growth stage of several stages and that applies to all plants. You must not let it run out of water before the next growth stage, or it runs the risk of dying!
Beginner level plants grow fast and need near-constant care, but eventually you'll reach the highest level plants that take around 4 hours to grow, and only need watering every hour or so!
Once you've (hopefully) kept your strawberries alive it will fully grow and mature after around 15 minutes - at that point you can care a lot less about it, as it won't die once matured.
 |
Harvesting your plants will give you XP to level up and fruit tokens to buy higher level plants! Each plant has a set amount of tokens that gradually increase with your level and plant type. Strawberry plants can be harvested 3 times for 20 tokens each, before you can compost the remains for an extra 5 fruit tokens, and you should be able to afford the next plant in Ophelie's shop after some strawberry farming.
Please note: newly purchased plants will not grow in your hand if you haven't placed and watered them yet - but if you've already kicked off the growing stages, picking up the plant will not pause the process. The plant will keep growing and might die in your hand!!
 |
Gardening can take a little time and patience for things to get rolling, and I recommend sticking with the plants closest to your level to get the best XP and token yields. Composting all your plants is worth the extra tokens at first, but feel free to also keep your plants at any mature stage to decorate your rooms with!
Gardening Features
- Ophelie's Blessing is an event that occurs every 4 hours and lasts for an entire hour. All plants harvested during this time have a 30% chance to not consume one of your plant's harvests, granting you an extra harvest! Origins will alert you in-game when the blessing is active.

Early 2026 saw the addition of Bill & Ben in the Picnic Garden room - new NPCs that allow you to trade your mature and unharvested plants for 'sacked' variants (for the cost of 1 habloon) to trade with other players.
 |
A fun fact: changing your plants into 'sacked' variants makes them only 1 sprite each (instead of 7!), which means using them in room builds is much easier. :)
- A seasonal autumn 2025 update brought us pumpkin patches, autumnal tree variants and a Halloween witch NPC with a shop selling unique, untradeable items and cosmetics that only accepted tokens. We can expect to see more purchasable items from the gardening skill using fruit tokens moving forwards, so start collecting those tokens now!!
