I used less plant-themed furniture here than with the spring garden. Tall plants with broad leaves indicate a lot of sunlight. When choosing plants to add, aside from flowers, find things that give a more tropical feel. Include lights so the garden can be enjoyed on cool nights and not just on sweltering days.

It gives the entire garden a heavier feel compared to the lightness of spring. I choose to theme my summer garden with warm, dark colors to reflect the heat of summer. In Animal Crossing, the grass and trees only turn a slightly darker green to signify the seasonal change. Both are associated with thriving nature. It can be challenging to differentiate between summer when just using plants. For this one, I used arched stone since it best matches cobblestone. Round each corner except for the one closest. To make the petal shapes use a different path and make a square in each corner of the cross. I used cobblestone, but I think dirt would also provide a more natural look. To get the flower-shaped path at the center, place down your desired center path in a cross with each arm being two tiles wide, then round off each corner. If you don’t like the square, you could try making the entire garden flower-shaped by bringing in the corners and pushing out the middle fencing. Try to use a variety of ways to display plant life between furniture, flowers, and shrubs to add depth. This will be reminiscent of the way most flowers bloom.

It almost feels like a bit of a cheat since, practically garden could be considered ‘spring themed’ because spring is so heavily associated with flowers. Let’s get started with the most apparent garden theme, springtime. A seasonal garden can highlight your favorite time of year, or it could be a retreat when you’re powering through a season you don’t like as much. While a bit tedious at times, it can be refreshing to give your island a new look every once and a while, especially if you’re like me and are terrified of restarting. There are a few spots around my island where I like the change the decor with the seasons. These are just meant to be ideas to start you off, so when you build, I hope you expand upon them to your heart’s content. For my own sanity, I put all these together in Happy Home Paradise, so my space was limited, and none of these included terraforming. I’ve put together a few garden ideas that hopefully spark some creativity. Besides, you can always change it later or squeeze another garden on your island. Do you start with a color scheme or flower type? Do you want to use hedges or shrubs? Do you risk lowering your island’s star rating by using weeds to look wilder? Analysis paralysis is totally understandable, and sometimes, you just need a little inspiration to get yourself moving toward a goal. Now through a combination of having almost limitless decoration abilities and permanent flowers, your garden can be as vibrant and luxurious as you want, and it’ll stay that way.īut with all the options available, it can be hard to choose where to start. In earlier games, like New Leaf, gardening was one of the only ways to decorate your exterior space. Nearly every Animal Crossing Island, at some point or another, has a garden: whether it’s just a collection of flowers that you’re watering in hopes of getting all the colors or a meticulously planned natural wonder.
