PlanterBoxed

A little garden that's glad to see you — a cozy gardening game for iPhone.

PlanterBoxed is a pocket garden that fits between the things you have to do. Open it with your coffee and see what the night did: maybe the rain came through and your basil is thriving, maybe tomorrow calls for the watering can. Plant, tend, harvest, and end the day on your own clock.

It's built around one idea — a garden should be a small reward, not another thing that nags you. Your garden waits patiently when you can't make it, and it's still lovely when you get back.

What you do in PlanterBoxed

You grow plants in wooden garden boxes on a quiet little plot. Pick seeds at the shop, choose a box that suits them, water, weed, and watch the weather. Sun, rain, and seasons matter: real in-game weather gives each day something new to read and plan around. When your little farm earns it, you can add sprinklers and a greenhouse. And if a friend wants to help, you can share your garden and let them tend it too.

Why it feels different

  • Plays in the pauses. A day takes about five minutes. When you're done, you're done.
  • Real weather to read and plan around, season by season.
  • Nothing dies, nothing expires. Skip a week and the garden remembers you kindly.
  • No ads. No timers. No tricks. Everything on screen belongs to the game.
  • Grow together. Share your garden with a friend and let them tend it.

Made for iPhone

PlanterBoxed is designed for one hand and a few spare minutes. Cozy pixel-art gardens in both a hand-tended 2D view and a tidy 3D view, a gentle day-night rhythm, and no pressure anywhere on screen. It's kid-friendly, ad-free, and happy to be put down.
