Foxi’s Garden
A quiet game about a garden, the seasons, and plant-based cooking. You plant, water, cook, and collect album cards. In the browser and on your phone.
What you do in the garden
You cannot lose, and nothing rushes you. A dry plant grows more slowly, but it never dies.
- BedsRadish, carrot, garlic, cabbage, pumpkin, rye, lentils, chickpeas and soy. You sow, water, harvest.
- KitchenFrom the harvest you make rye sourdough bread, lentil soup, or cabbage-and-mushroom stew.
- ForestThe forest opens sooner: clearing the path now costs 75 coins. Mushrooms, blackberries, nuts. The forest renews itself.
- GreenhouseIn the Full Garden: four beds that frost and rain never reach. Tomatoes grow faster here than outdoors.
- PondIn the Full Garden, beyond the forest, lie a pond and a meadow. Gather wild plants for teas and syrups, collect rainwater and meet Ola the otter.
- PicklesVegetables and salt go into a barrel, and a little later you have a jar that never spoils. The free game has pickled radishes and garlicky carrots. The Full Garden holds up to six barrels.
- MapThe Map button shows the whole world: the garden, the forest, the pond and meadow, and the orchard. Tap a place and your character walks there along the path.
The old orchard
Behind a gate in the hedge, an overgrown orchard is waiting. Eight old trees: Antonovka and early summer apples, and damson plums. Nobody has pruned them in years, but a little patience goes a long way. The orchard opens for 400 coins once the forest path is cleared.
- Bring the trees backOne tree at a time: prune the dead branches, clear the brambles under the crown, water it. The healthier the tree, the more fruit it gives.
- Fruit in its seasonThe orchard blossoms in spring, early apples ripen in summer, and autumn brings the main harvest of apples and plums. Winter is the best time to prune.
- PreservesPress apple juice, dry apples or plums, and slowly cook damsons into powidła, a thick Polish plum butter. Preserves never spoil and sell for more than fresh fruit.
You can see the gate in the free game
In the free game, the orchard gate stands padlocked in the hedge. Tap it to see what lies behind it and what else the Full Garden adds.
Meet the gardeners
Meet the new gardening crew: Foxi the fox, Spiki the hedgehog, Nuki the squirrel and Bobo the wild boar. Pick who looks after your garden. You can change them in settings.
In the Full Garden your character grows along with the garden. The wardrobe holds a straw hat and a wool hat from the stall, and a scarf arrives once you have 25 album cards. A tool in your paw helps a little: the trowel also sows the next empty bed, the watering can with a rose waters one more bed, and the pitchfork, earned when teahouse guests get three favourite drinks, also harvests the next bed. Tofo the tofu cube joins the crew too.
Hoki the owl shows you the ropes: sowing, watering, harvesting, selling and buying seeds. The short tutorial can be skipped or replayed. The “?” button holds a quick “Your garden in a nutshell” card, and Hoki drops a tip with each new building. If you run out of money, she brings free radish seeds. Guests also visit: squirrel Wanda leaves nuts on the stump, and badger Bruno in the forest has a few requests for you.
Seasons
The same garden changes with the season. In winter, outdoor plants grow more slowly. Later seasons and the greenhouse are in the Full Garden. Each new season opens with a short pixel scene.
Album
Cards arrive during ordinary play: for seasons lived through, discoveries, harvests and guests. Each one remembers the date you first found it.

“Huhu! A golden radish – I haven't seen one of those in years.”Owl Hoki, on a rare find
Rare finds include a golden radish or a giant pumpkin.
Permaculture without a lecture
The game never lectures. Good plant placement simply pays off, and each discovery leaves an album card with a real curiosity.
- Good neighboursCarrots next to garlic grow faster. The smell of garlic confuses the carrot fly.
- Flowers for pollinatorsCalendula, phacelia and sunflower attract bees and butterflies. Pumpkin, chilli and tomato nearby yield more.
- Calendula and caterpillarsNear calendula, caterpillars are less likely to eat the cabbage.

It is a game about a garden. The kitchen is plant-based, and the animals are characters and guests, not resources. Nobody moralizes here.
