Garden Idle: the free idle gardening game
Garden Idle is a free idle gardening game you play right in your browser, on desktop or mobile, with no download or sign-up. Plant carrots, harvest strawberries, grow giant sunflowers, discover the mysterious crystal flower and then set off to explore new worlds.
How to play
- Each crop grows in its own row. Tap a ripe row to harvest all its plants at once; tap it while it grows to speed it up.
- Hold and swipe across the rows to harvest everything and chain combos (up to +100% earnings).
- Plant more: every plant you add increases the row's harvest. Unlock 8 crops, from carrots to the crystal flower.
- Hire a helper for a row: a bee in the Garden, a crab in the Ocean, a fennec fox in the Desert, a penguin in the Glacier, a salamander in the Volcano, a gingerbread man in Candyland, a robot in the Cosmos. It harvests automatically, even while you're away.
- Catch the golden bee when it flies across the garden for a surprise bonus.
