Desktop Garden lets your keystroke and mouse activity nurture a collection of plants that grow passively on your screen. You can name and decorate plants with stickers, organize them across your desktop, or tuck them away to preserve screen space. It's a low-commitment idle game for players who enjoy gentle desktop companions and collecting digital plants without active engagement.

Would love to have along side my bongo cat but sadly I can't use it, for a couple of reasons. There needs to be some way to move everything to another monitor, some way to prevent losing plants by dragging and dropping them off screen, tool tips (or something along those lines) to tell you how to do things since I can't even figure out how to repot a plant and was confused on how I unlock new plants and pots, and the shelf needs be smaller but yet have the same amount of space and accessed a different way then dragging it out.
Also having size options for the plants would be nice.

Extra Notes: Doesn't have many diverse plant types. Simple to run and use. Only really has a couple hours of content before you run out of space and room for all of them.
New functionalityYou can now select a sticker from the shelf and place it on any pot. Afterwards you're free to name it whatever you like :)Fixed plant order on shelfThe plants are now in the correct order on the shelf, meaning plants below will always be in front of plants above. UpcomingThe next thing to tackle will be achievements. I'll also try to add an option to place the plants on top of the taskbar or behind it, so people with their taskbar icons on the left and right side won't have to place their plants in the middle of the screen where it can be distracting.I hope you enjoy the update!
