Virtual Micro Gardening is a free, slow-paced online gardening game built around a real garden. Each turn you pick an action for your plot, such as watering, weeding, pruning or feeding. Actions use energy that refills every day, so you play a few moves, then come back later to see what changed on the live webcam. Popular choices are carried out in the real garden.
- Create your microgarden and get your own virtual plot.
- Check the webcam to see how the real garden looks today.
- Choose your actions and earn points for looking after it.
- Come back daily to keep your streak going, answer alerts and spot visiting wildlife.
It suits students, casual gamers and anyone who enjoys idle, check-in or turn-based games, and it's a gentle way to learn how gardens, seasons and pollinators work. It runs in any browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to download. Read the full guide to playing.
