Summary: An interesting and unique story where you build a satisfying garden.

This calming and unique game provides you with an adventurous story. Having just inherited a large mansion, your job is to restore and decorate an expansive garden. Your butler Austin is there to guide you through and help you restore different areas to their former glory. Discover the secrets the garden has to hold and gain an amusing cast of in game characters. Build your dream garden, gain some charming pets, and find your sanctuary now.

Gameplay: A story and end goal built on a swap and match core.

This game centers around a classic swap and match gameplay loop. Gain points by completing challenges and build and restore your perfect garden. There are hundreds of unique match three levels and dozens of characters to unlock and make friends with. This game starts with your butler Austin calling you as you inherit a mansion that once contained a beautiful garden.

You slowly build your garden through completing levels and challenges in the match three gameplay. Watch the garden transform from run down to beautiful once again. Uncover secrets, helpful and fun friends and an interesting story. You can even use social features, like connecting with your Facebook friends and becoming neighbors.

Review/Conclusion: Relaxing and fun to play over time.

This is a very easy game to settle into and relax. It’s pleasant to play and satisfying to repair and build up your garden over time. The core gameplay loop of swap and match is much like bejeweled. It’s fun to play, easy to do in the background while relaxing after a long day and rewarding over time.

This game can feel slow though. You may think you’re going to get to spend your time designing a lush garden and while that is part of the story, the real gameplay lies in a swap and match style game. You’ll spend a lot of time grinding for in game points to restore the garden and unlock new areas.

The story is there but at times it can feel absent. It can be easy to forget about why you’re doing the tasks, especially if you play this game off and on like most mobile games. This game is overall inoffensive to look at and has some nice sound design to top everything off. There are always several in game events around holidays, which keep you involved and gives you reason to come back.

Advantages / Disadvantages
Well defined gameplay, perhaps a bit old after awhile.

This game is pleasant to play and gives you a sense of accomplishment after building up the different areas of your garden. There are charming characters to interact with and easy and quick ways to play. 
This game can feel a bit limiting when you get stuck. This isn’t an action game for sure, so it’s style may be a bit boring for some. The overall gameplay loop can get repetitive after time as well, so you could find yourself falling off after you’ve had enough swap and match.

How to install and how to de-install/delete apps with iOS (similar for iPhone and other iOS devices):

4. Enter a name for the icon that will be added. Keep it short, otherwise it will be cut off.
