Gardening made fun
I liked this game, gardening without getting dirty lol! You run a giant yard sale room by room in order to get enough money to upgrade and build your garden. The pace can be a bit hectic at times trying to keep the customers happy. You only get three choices per item and some are a bit over the top but you can always go back & change them if you want later.It's a nice family type HOG, no dark & dreary scenes or evil characters which can be refreshing.

A Repeat Player
I have had this game before and played it many times. I lost it when my computer crashed. They now have Gardenscapes with a new format in the fixing up of the entry hall. I have it and it is also fun. I have to purchase this game again and will do so. Buy both of them because they are very entertaining

Just had to finish the garden
After the demo, I just had to buy it in order to complete my garden. I recently replayed the game.
Your mission is to restore the gardens of a mansion you inherited, with the help of butler Austin, whom you also inherited. Unfortunately, you have no money for purchases, so must conduct jumble sales of household items. The items are in 15 rooms in the mansion, but you sell items from one room at a time. Your goal is to purchase 20 items so that you compete in a garden competition.
There is a relaxed and a timed mode (you can change modes at any time). I recommend the relaxed mode the first time playing, because your cursor interacts with many of the items in each room (mostly swaying, but there are other actions). The interaction occurs as your cursor moves over the items, so the timed mode would not allow you to browse the rooms. For each sale, 10-20 customers are seeking specific items. The money raised goes toward a purchase [if you don?t like how your garden looks at any time, you can change your purchases in design mode]. You earn extra money by finding gold coins ($25 each), starting in the 3rd room. The coins are frequently barely visible, but the interactions when you cursor over or sell an item may expose them more clearly. At the end of each sale, you will also earn $25 for each unused hint, as well as any unused time if playing the timed mode.
You can have up to 5 hints at a time. You earn extra hints by discovering a question mark (which start in the 2nd room). But don?t worry if you run out as an item will sparkle if you are idle too long. The items are generally fairly easy to find. The hint button will show what the item looks like. There are also the usual cameras and thermometers. Austin also gets a dog once you purchase a kennel.
Between sales, Austin is roaming the garden and you can engage him in activities by clicking on an item. Examples: feeding the swan, playing fetch with the dog, using the telephone. As he struts around the garden, he also engages in quite amusing dialog, which you can encourage by continuing to click on him. He likes to wave his hand to get your attention. He also likes to paint the sculptures and play mini-golf once you acquire them and he always goes inside when it?s raining.
The one thing I didn?t like is the coins jump after each sale until you collect them. There are also various squeaking type sounds which you may or may not like. I personally liked them once I got used to them.

Love this game
Austin the Butler is just a hoot. You go from room to room to find hidden objects, you get money for that and buy things to restore the garden. You have 3 choices of each object to buy. Have played this game over and over again.

Lots of fun
I have replayed this three times - I loved all the different options for the garden and getting to name the dog. Gave it an Ok on challenge since I didn't think it was particularly challenging, just a nice relaxing gamre.

Relaxing game easy for kids
This was a nice relaxing game for a lazy afternoon. It's a change from the darker games and a fun family game. My son enjoyed the game as well.

good family fun that lasts quite a while
My kids and I really really like this game. We all had differend opinions about how the garden should be decorated so we all took turns playing it. My kids are only 7 and 8, so there's not a whole lot of HOS games I'll let them play. However, once you play it a lot, the HOS become predicatable, but that's ok, because getting to chose the garden stuff is where the fun is for us anyway!

A Dream Come True!
Firstly, the most beautiful of many Gorgeous hidden object games I've played.
The main character, the Caretaker, is drawn and realized wonderfully!
Having my own masterpiece of a dream garden and mansion is...just Ooo La La!

Gorgeous game. Wish it were longer.
This gorgeous little game is such a refreshing change from the morass of grimdark creepy horror-genre HOGs. It's just a sweet little fix-em-up builder in which the objects you find get sold toward fixing a dilapidated old garden. There are about a dozen different types of decorations/improvements, each with three variants of different colors/shapes. You get a set of four at a time and can improve the four in any order you like, and can improve individual elements at any point afterward if you change your mind later. You visit each room of your mansion in turn and find 20 objects in it for a rotating list of customers, five at a time, to afford these changes.
The house has about a dozen rooms which you visit and re-visit as time goes on, but nothing felt like a retread most of the time so it doesn't become a big game of "how well can you memorize this room's contents"--the makers of the game have mixed the objects up enough and ask for different enough things that every visit to the rooms is challenging. The objects are usually pretty straightforward and I didn't run into many situations where I didn't understand what an object was or feel tricked by an object's placement. The visuals are easy to get along with and the music/sound is easy on the ears and relaxing. No complaints with gameplay or audio/video.
Playrix knows how to do HOGs right. I didn't notice any irritating penalties for mis-clicking and if you wait too long the game is quite cheerful about pointing out the next object by making it sparkle or having the butler point out a helper object (there are a few of these--a camera that points out all the objects on your plate currently for example) you can use to move forward. There really aren't any mini-games or adventure elements to the storyline, which is fine by me as I dislike both in HOGs.
If anything, I do wish the game had been longer. I played the hour-long demo, then bought the game. Six hours later I was finished with it. It has decent replay value, but if I buy another of these, I'll wait for a sale. I recommend this game to those who are kind of new to HOGs like me, to those who prefer a more straightforward feel to their HOGs without the grim murkiness of horror/adventure/brainteasers, or yeah, kids.

Kids love it
My kids like puzzles, and they can't read "yet" but this game, after watching me, they picked it up superfast.
hidden clue's, I call my 4 yr old to help. Wow.
