Garden Life, Nacon’s newly-announced gardening sim could give you the freedom to garden your way.
Unlike Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing and their ilk, Garden Life promises to make your garden look a little less computer generated and a lot less predictable. “Thanks to procedural generation and advanced growth visualization simulation technology, no two plants look identical – just like in real life,” according to publisher Nacon and developer stillalive studios.
“We wanted to share our passion and experience of gardening through Garden Life and offer the players the opportunity to create the garden that fits their vision and desires, with a unique art style that evokes wonder and highlights the beauty of nature,” adds Kay Luthor who, after winning 2016’s United Kingdom’s Chelsea Young Florist of the Year has made the leap to game design as Garden Life’s producer.

It does, indeed, sound like it could be a lot of fun, though we hope that not everything goes your way. Yes, it’s great when your garden is going well but there are also challenges involved. How about having players discover that their prize rose has powdery mildew?
Nacon has yet to announce which platforms Garden Life will grace, or when it’ll be released – we’ll let you know when we hear more. In the meantime, we’ve got horsetail ferns to take a flamethrower to.
