'''Gardens''' are one of the main uses of a yard in ''The Sims'' series. They usually contain [[plant|harvestable plants]] or decorative plants, like trees, flowers or bushes, which are occasionally framed by [[fence]]s. Other types of decoration that can be used are [[pond]]s, rocks and certain types of decoration from the [[buy mode]], like the [[scarecrow]]{{Vgversion|TS:U}}{{Vgversion|TS2:S}}{{Vgversion|TS3:S}}{{Vgversion|TS4:S}} or the [[wishing well]]{{Vgversion|TS2:S}}{{Vgversion|TS3SE}}{{Vgversion|TS4RGS}}.

==Harvestable plants==
{{Main|Gardening}}
Harvestable plants were first introduced in ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]'', in form of crops, and returned in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'', with the addition of orchard trees, ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and then in ''[[The Sims 34]]'' . When harvested, they will give vegetables.produce, Theywhich can be treessold in [[Old Town]]{{Vgversion|TS2TS:SU}}, in the [[Supermarket]]{{Vgversion|TS3}}, on the spot{{vgversion|TS2:S}} or bushesbe consumed.
 
There are severalSeveral obstacles to this type of gardening are [[Gardening#The Sims: Unleashed|Gophers]] and [[Gardening#The Sims: Unleashed|rabbits]]{{Vgversion|TS:U}}, and [[Winter#Winter|cold weather]]{{Vgversion|TS2:S}}, and [[Zombie#The Sims 3: Supernatural|zombies]]{{Vgversion|TS3:SN}}. Gophers and rabbits can be chased by a [[Cat#The Sims: Unleashed|cat]] and cold weather can be avoided by growing plants in a greenhouse. The plants have to be watered and weeds need to be pulled.
They require more care than decorative plants, but there are the same actions (pulling weeds and watering the plant). The produce can be sold in [[Old Town]]{{Vgversion|TS:U}}, in the [[Supermarket]]{{Vgversion|TS3}} or consumed.
