    Ooooooo. More goodies! :D

    Thank you for doing these gardens. It will help to have everything, by theme, in one place -- but on a lot still small enough to place practically anywhere. And with all the little extras added that will make it a fun destination (even if a sim is bringing their green dragon along to do a "quickie" harvest).

    I like how the color scheme of this garden separates it from the first garden, but it still has enough similarities that they look good together in the world.

    I'm looking forward to seeing your picture spam, on the last garden you've uploaded.

    Well, off to play .... :)

    Thanks amjoie! I have kept the gardens similar in layout because it's easier AND because it helps tie them together thematically. The first three are kinda "sister" gardens. The "everything" garden is going to be huge of course and the Science Garden and the Midnight Garden (based on plasma fruit and nectar making) will be quite different but I do plan to do them on the 30x30 lots as well. Now that I'm done with the initial series I'm looking forward to tackling the others!

    The Herbalist's Garden is very nice! :) It is great that you have the large wishing well there for sims to go fishing in, and the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 caravan for fortune telling. Nice gazebo area! Sims will enjoy relaxing on the hanging chair there enjoying the outdoors air, or enjoy having a nice cup of tea at the table. Nice greenery covered trellis area. It looks very nice how you have done the flowers and plants through the garden. The water wheel and smaller wishing well look great in your build.
    It is a very nice place for sims to enjoy visiting! :)

    I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your gardens! I downloaded the first one and I am going to download the other two right now. You inspired me to make a witch sim and settle her down in Dragon Valley in a cute little cottage and have her learn to make all of the elixirs and test them out on the townspeople :D

    Amara, they are beautiful - and all the related adjectives. Thank you for sharing. :)

    My new DV game is just blooming with your gardens. :D

    Edit to add: I haven't finished setting up my DV game and I'm going on vacation for 2 weeks. :D When I get it all set I'll take some screen shots.

    Oh you will enjoy the alchemy garden then! LOL In fact I added a residential version of it as well so a single witch could be pretty cozy there. And thanks for the kind words, they mean so much! I'm glad some people are enjoying the little gardens, I had fun making them! :mrgreen:

    @AmaraRena, Have you seen this? "The Sims 3 Speed Build—Fairy Desert Cave"
    YouTube: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Y3HofTkGlDs&feature=youtu.be&a
    Exchange: thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8371560

    Almost got my DV game set up. Still haven't decided who's going to be the lucky Sim to move there, tho. Might go with Amjoie's lovely fairies and their pets.

    Just wanted to add my thanks for the lovely gardens. I am a total thief. I also want to say thank you to Amjoie for the Sparkle sisters, and the critters. Your murder thread and this one are ones I check constantly for new ideas. The plumbot and his lot are in my game now too. I also follow your mod thread. Totally off topic but we are almost neighbors. I grew up in Vero Beach (Zero Beach to residents) and now live just north of Orlando.

    Well then hi there neighbor! :) And I am glad you are enjoying the gardens (steal away!) and have found some of my crazy threads helpful! LOL Thank goodness smart people tend to respond to them and share all their awesome knowledge!
