I'm scared to go through the Garden Tour T^T
But Cher's guide has a spot for the Garden Tour for you to look at~

You did good getting a ... and some money for the first time! It's usually the angry cloud and 0g for me most of the time.

I've recently worked out a base design that works and gets me 6000g each time, even if it's not perfect and if I don't repeat the same design. (Which is tricky, I might try repeating last years design.)

-----Lattice-----
-###fence####-
-#O~ statue~O#-
-#b ~~~~~~ b#-
-#b~ water ~ b#-
-#O~feature~O#-
-##=arch=####-
-~~fp ~~~ fp~~- O = a pillar fp= flower pot b=bench ~ = free space

It's not completely the same as I suck at this type of picture, but I'll take a real picture later to show you. You need lattice all the way round and the fence to be just inside. The statue of anything really, usually an animal. A fountain in the middle and an arch to high light it all. It needs to be symmetrical and even the spaces symmetrical.

I just follow that basic plan, changing the fence type or post and it usually works though not perfect.

I also got the thinking bubbles "..."
On my first one, and got 1480G from it~
The only things that were in it were some wooden fences, wooden arch, barrels and boxes that I collected from the town, and the milk cans that used to be by Neils house.

I got 64G by dumping a bush in the corner. Maybe I'll try next season, just maybe. Until they everyone can gaze at my magnificent gardening space.

Try to fit a recurring theme with a little extra flaire :D First time I did it, I got 7000 and change, and Rod just gave me a suggestion of putting flowers- everything was made from material stone/small material stone. :3
