Old Community Garden

Old Community Garden
Address	Southeast of Pelican Town Southwest of Shearwater Bridge

Old Community Garden is an area to the southeast of Pelican Town which contains a small (17x12) abandoned garden. To the right is Shearwater Bridge and to the left is Pelican Town.

Unlocking the Garden

If you enter Pelican Town in spring year 2 on a sunny day between 6AM and 6PM, it will trigger a cutscene. In the cutscene, Lewis says the field used to be the community garden for the town until it was relocated to south of the Museum. He's concerned that the visitors from Grampleton see a destroyed crop field and it's not good for the town's image. He asks if you can clean the place and use it for your crops. You can either say yes or no. If you choose no, you will still be able to clear and use the field later.

Cultivating the Unlocked Garden

Once unlocked, the Old Community Garden can be used to plant seasonal crops, just as on the player's regular farm. Sprinklers can be used, and crops will not be attacked by crows, so there is no need for a scarecrow. The garden is not vulnerable to lightning strikes.

Common trees or fruit trees may be planted in the garden. However, new saplings of common trees will sprout frequently in the space, which can cause neighboring fruit saplings not to grow to full maturity. If growing fruit trees in the Old Community Garden, it is recommended that the player check for new common sapling sprouts every day and chop down any that may have sprouted. Common trees or mushroom trees may be tapped.

Alternatively, the space is the same footprint as a big shed, and can therefore be filled with machines in the same configuration as one would use for a big shed. Bee Houses will seasonally produce Wild Honey or flower honey if flowers are grown in their range. As on the player's farm, Bee Houses do not produce honey in winter.

Townspeople will never walk through the garden, so the player need not worry about destructive NPCs. However, debris will re-spawn and common trees will re-grow in the space, so it is recommended that any unused spaces be covered with floor tiles to prevent the spread of destructive weeds or branches.
