The Busy Gardener
You are gardener, always looking after your flowers. Since you really love your flowers, it would be sad if they wilt.

Controls
The game is completely controlled by mouse click on a tile to move the player or interact with the flowers.
| Control | |
|---|---|
| Left double click | The Character tries to find a path and moves to the location |
| Left single click | A menu for interaction opens (see below) |
If you click on a flower you have two options:
1. Use your watering can to water the flower
2. Use your shovel to dig up the flower
From time to time a flower needs water which will be indicated by a "drop" icon (Time to use the first option).
If you forget to water the flowers or do not have time to fulfill your obligation, the flower will wilt and become a brown shrub (see above image). Once your third flower withers, you've lost and the number of flowers alive is your score.
As you are a conscientious gardener, you cannot walk over flowers. Therefore, plan early how you want to arrange your meadow. For that you have up to four slots to store flowers (Red, Blue and white in the second image above). If you click on an empty space, you are able to re-plant your flower by clicking on the corresponding menu slot.
Thank you for playing and keep your flowers alive
