Components in the Works

Prototype game in progress

Each garden plot has a unique, 3x5 arrangement of dry, moist, and wet spaces, as well as at least one tree that creates shade.

The finished game box will include:

5 double-sided garden plots, many unique plant and pollinator cards, 25 plant selection tokens (represented by the small flower tokens), fruit and bee point tokens (represented by the small cardboard squares), a pad of score sheets, and a nursery wagon to designate the starting player.

Plant Cards

Perennials with brilliant seasonal blooms

Where can you plant these unique natives? Make sure to place this Black-Eyed Susan on a dry or moist space on your garden plot, and in full sun with no overhanging trees.

Trees that create shade and produce fruit

Trees are planted on intersections and cast shade on the surrounding spaces, helping create the right environment for you to plant shrubs and perennials that prefer part or full shade.

Shrubs that can serve as host plants for specific caterpillars

This Black Raspberry shrub needs partial shade from one tree, as well as a moist soil space on which to plant it. Did you leave the right space for it?

Pollinator Cards

Unique pollinator cards with goals for you to work toward

To attract this bumble bee, plant two plants that bloom in each season and receive 2 red points at the end of the game. Each round after meeting this goal, receive 1 yellow bee point token on this card.

Specialized goals that are accurate to each pollinator's real-life strengths and preferences

This mason bee is a powerhouse pollinator in orchards. Planting two adjacent fruit trees will earn you 10 points, plus the fruit points you collect over the course of the game.
