What says spring has sprung better than plants? We’ve done a gardening list that you can check out if you want to just grow, but this list has plant games in all flavors. You can grow, you can sell, and you can even create an adorable bouquet using the language of flowers!
As someone who wants to grow things but has an aversion to the sun and no space to put down roots, I enjoy getting to foster my green thumb with plant-based games. My own flourishing garden is a long way off, but I get to foster my mental health, and that’s arguably a more important environment to nurture.
Whether you’re looking for an adorable little nostalgic reminder or want to learn more about the meaning of flowers, this list has you covered.
Plant games that you won’t want to leaf

Tiny Garden
Tiny Garden is an adorable little growing game that asks what gardening would be like if it were done inside a toy capsule. You have limited growing space, but an abundance of different plants to grow. It requires a bit of strategy in order to grow in such a small space and to figure out various ways to create different soil types. Once you have your spoils, you can use them to purchase different seeds or decoration items — you can even buy color schemes that will affect your furniture, compact color, and plants! – Our Review
Hydroponics Farm and Store Simulator
Hydroponics Farm and Store Simulator is a life sim that combines growing produce with running a store. You’ll be able to grow a ton of different vegetables as well as raise up several types of fish. Once they’ve matured, you can put them in your store to sell for a tidy profit. As you progress, you’ll be able to unlock upgrades and employees to grow your business and make your store a thriving hotspot for customers! – Our Review


Hanako’s Flower Shop
Hanako’s Flower Shop isn’t out just yet; it will be releasing April 25th, but it’s so adorable that it seems a shame not to pop it on your radar! You’ll play as Hanako, a young girl following in the footsteps of her grandpa to run a flower shop. It’s part visual novel and part resource management, so you’ll have more to do than just listen to stories and choose dialogue options. It’s your job to listen to your customers and decide the perfect bouquet to create for them. You’ll learn more about the language of flowers while you get to know the characters and manage your garden.
Personally, I adored the two games from this list that I did play, and I have faith that the other one will be just as fun when it releases.
