User Reviews

Fans praise Garden Joy for its relaxing, creative design experience with beautiful visuals and plant-learning appeal. However, recurring issues include monetization and progression bottlenecks (gem gating and pay-to-win), questions about scoring fairness and voter bias, on-and-off reports about ads, and difficulty earning in-game currency.

Pros

Relaxing, calming gameplay with satisfying feel and good music.
Creative design outlet with a wide item variety and the ability to design your own yards/spaces; learning about plants and landscapes.
Lots of free content and a low barrier to entry; easy to play without spending money, with gifts and rewards.
Beautiful graphics and soothing visuals.
Educational aspects, such as learning about plants and trees from around the world and designing in various locales.

Cons

Pay-to-win vibe with gem gating; many items require gems or purchases to progress.
Unfair or inconsistent scoring mechanics; high scores can yield fewer points than expected and lower scores can deduct more.
Voters/potentially biased audience punishing players for having expensive items; voting dynamics feel tricky.
Ads presence is inconsistent across reviews; some say no ads, others report ads.
Difficulty earning diamonds/coins; currency is slow to accumulate and hard to upgrade without spending.

Making my garden designing dreams come true

by mm*****, 2026-06-04

I love this game and play it every day. I am also willing to buy the Garden Pass on occasion to support them financially. But … every June they do the same thing. They “gift” everyone a “Celebrate Love” rainbow item to support the LGBTQ community. You cannot refuse the item, and the notification never goes away until you claim it and put it in your inventory. I wouldn’t mind if the item was available for interested people to purchase, but why gift it to everyone. I don’t see them gifting crosses to every player on Easter or manger scenes on Christmas. Why are we all expected to celebrate “LGBTQ love”?
