If you’re into the fairycore aesthetic, then you may want to try creating an enchanted mushroom garden like this design.
To start, select a small wooded area and lay down a mixture of custom paths to look like stones, flowers, shrooms, and petals.
Craft plenty of mush lamps and customize them to all sorts of vibrant colors.
You can also craft mush stools and tables for a nice hang out spot.
Then, scatter a bunch of flowers for your fairy garden. I personally think hyacinths go well with the mushrooms, so I would recommend using them in as many colors as possible.
With so many vibrantly colored flowers at your disposal, they can make for a beautiful tropical paradise (when used correctly).
I would start out here by setting up the custom dirt and log plank pathways. I love the log plank design, since it works well with the tropical setting.
Next plant plenty of palm trees – an essential for any tropical scene.
You’ll also want to plant plenty of flowers in the scene around the trees. Yellow, white, and greens help to highlight the tropical setting with a warm color scheme.
Once you mark off the area with some iron barbed fencing, your tropical garden can flourish.
But if you saved some of your decorations, they do make for a wonderful garden area.
I would create this spot from the center outward, so start by crafting a fountain and placing it in an open field.
Once you’ve done that, setup some Bunny Day topiaries and egg planters around the fountain.
Then surround the fountain and decorations with hedge fencing, and then place some Cinnamoroll couches for outdoor seating. If you don’t have Cinnamoroll couches from the Sanrio additions, then I recommend garden benches instead.
Then setup some stalls and display your Bunny Day candy sets and baskets on the counters.
Oh, and you can’t have a Bunny Day party without some festive balloons!
If you want to make a secret waterfall garden like this design, start out by setting up multiple levels of elevation, with a small cove carved out of the cliffs.
There are two levels pictured, so you’ll have your work cut out for you and it may take some time.
But don’t forget to do some waterscaping and make some waterfalls.
Then craft plenty of cherry blossom branches to decorate the area.
Once you setup some iron garden tables and chairs with a tea set and teacup, then you can enjoy your peaceful afternoon tea among the falls.
To create this zen rock garden on your island, you’ll first need some custom designs that resemble rows and circles in the sand. You can make these yourself, or snag some ideas online.
Then in the center of your sand circles you’ll want to add all sorts of stones. Craft stone stools and garden rocks to fill in these areas.
You’ll also want to craft an outdoor bath for a nice relaxing hot spring.
Once you plant some mambo trees and craft some bamboo fencing, your place of piece is ready for you.
And this is probably the third time I’ve shared a maze idea in an article.
But that’s because they’re just so fun!
Clearly, you’ll need a lot of hedges here. So stock up on weeds, branches, and stones.
You can set up a fountain as kind of a center to the maze, and include iron garden benches to sit around.
Then, setup your hedges in winding paths around your centerpiece with stone pathways running through the aisles to create some contrast.
What’s really a nice touch here is all the flowers that replace hedge sections sporadically throughout the maze. That makes this feel truly like a garden setting.
Sometimes, the struggle for setting up flower beds can be planting flowers that go well together.
And I really like the deep midnight color of this player’s flower choices: black, purple, and blue flowers of various styles.
You can start this idea by laying down some pathways. I do really like this design, but if you have a stone or brick path you prefer, then by all means go for it.
Then setup a standard garden sitting area with a fountain and some garden benches.
What I want to point out is how carefully this player placed each and every flower. Some are horizontal, vertical, or even diagonal.
However, they’re all in neat and tidy rows. Which help to increase this garden’s wonderful appeal.
Julian is quite a magical villager to have on your island. So if he’s one of your neighbors, then he deserves a magical moon garden!
And if he’s not on your island, you can still try this idea anyway!
But this area is not particularly organized, which I think fits Julian very well.
There’s just a bunch of items like a crescent moon chair, beautiful statue, valiant statue, iron garden bench, and shell fountain scattered about the yard.
Pay close attention to this player’s use of blue and white roses to match Julian’s color scheme.
If you make this design for another villager, I recommend altering the colors to fit them as well.
Well you can design an herb garden like this, ready to be enjoyed by all.
Start by setting up some custom simple panels that display rows of various plants for sale.
Craft some iron shelves for further inventory, and some prison bars to act as your shop doors.
I like how this player planted rows of saplings right next to each other. The trees can’t grow this close, so it makes them look just like small plants.
Finish this off with a wooden shop sign to advertise your herbs to the whole island.
So I still don’t have access to every fruit, which deeply bums me out.
If you do have access to all the fruits, then by all means, include them as part of your garden!
Plant all your fruit trees in a small area and lay down some dirt in rows for planting your other crops.
I like the wooden planks running between the dirt patches here, as it gives the area more room to breathe.
Then, setup your crops. This can be done by planting actual plants, or using certain items that look like plants as stand-ins.
Grape hats, cacao trees, watermelon beach balls, peach hats, cypress plants, and anthurium plants are just some of the items you can purchase and “grow”.
Here’s another very simple design that uses one color to ooze some garden charm.
This player carefully placed their island’s material rocks in a perfect circle, and then they decorated this spot with tons of red foliage!
In the middle, you’ll be able to drop a red mushroom parasol. The surround it with red flowers of all varieties, carefully placed to create such beautiful symmetry.
In between the rocks, plant your favorite red shrubs like hibiscus or camelias.
Then simply craft a log bench to place in front so you have somewhere to relax.
Combining a few previously discussed ideas, we get this stunning rainbow island.
You’ll want to start this design by carefully creating the island with some waterscaping.
In the middle goes the moon, as it’s the grand centerpiece.
Around the moon go the many colors of flowers. This player was able to breed every type of flower and plant them in small, color-coded sections, to create a rainbow circle.
I’m sure many of you have seen spiral rivers, but this is the first time I’m seeing a spiral garden.
Start out by laying down some dirt path in a spiral pattern. On the dirt, place many colorful custom designs such as rocks, flowers, leaves, and butterflies.
In between the spiraling rows, place shrubs, log stools, stone stools, hedges, fencing, and flowers.
There’s no real pattern to those items, which I think increases this garden’s whimsical nature.
What you want to make sure you include is some butterfly models from Flick on the log stools.
After all, you can’t have a butterfly garden with butterflies. Otherwise it’s just a… garden.
If you’re not a nincompoop like me, and actually like your material rocks organized, then adding a fairy theme to create a garden is a good idea.
For this idea you’ll want to surround your rocks with the custom leaf and floral pattern.
And you’ll wanna plant plenty of fruit trees, and then just add flowers!
There’s no real rhyme or reason to the flower usage. But I do personally recommend cool colors like blues and purples, maybe with some pinks thrown in there too.
To make this brewery area you’ll want to clear out a decent sized field to set up the dining space. Craft some log dining tables and benches and place them into neat rows.
I like the stalls and silos in the back too, which were crafted to make the village gates.
On the stalls and tables, you’ll want to add some pitchers and pots that you’ve crafted from clay, along with plenty of succulent plants for some tableside drinking.
This pond idea is actually made of some custom designs meticulously placed on the ground, so that there’s room for the Kero Kero Keroppi bridge to cross.
To mimic this idea, setup a couple statues and surround them with various flowers.
I like the use of red, yellow, and white flowers here, as it’s a simple color scheme.
Lastly, plant plenty of bamboo trees for some more elegant scenery in your fancy pond-adjacent garden.
I swear, I have the creativity of a tree stump when it comes to this game.
Because I could’ve never made this scene myself, and it is just plain gorgeous!
There’s a lot going on here, so I’m just going to highlight some of my favorite parts.
The circular lake and waterfalls are stunning, as is the valiant statue in the middle surrounded by shrubs.
I also love the forced perspective bridge. But it’ll require some very careful sculpting of the land and water to create these aquatic depths.
To actually setup the bridge, lay down some stone path and iron stone fencing. And be sure to leave a grand stone staircase to lead into this stunning garden spot.
I’ve never been to Spain. But if you’ve visited the Alhambra Gardens (or just heard of ‘em) then you’ll surely want to recreate them on your island.
Start out by laying down some gorgeous stone and tile pathways. The tiles are positioned kitty-corner from one another, which helps it not look too busy.
Next dig out a small pond, and in the middle, place a beautiful statue on a small island.
Setup plenty of custom panels in the background too, with the garden window pattern.
Also you’ll wanna plant your favorite fruit tree in the corner, just for some summertime picking.
Then setup a bit of garden seating with iron garden benches, hedges, and floating biotope planters for some added greenery.
Let’s continue to travel across Europe for garden ideas.
Here we have this French-inspired castle garden for you to try out.
To start, setup your house as a grand palace by crafting two silos to act as towers, stone lion dogs to guard your door, and some iron stone fencing to protect your property.
Then (not too far in front) setup a valiant statue as a centerpiece for your garden.
You’ll also want some small hedge sections to hold various statues and monuments, such as an athletic statue or Tower of Pisa.
Once you add some pretty white flowers, you can take a break and breathe in the fresh garden air.
