'''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|fencesfence]]s. Other types of decoration that can be used are [[Pond|pondspond]]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}}.
 
==Decorative plants==
{{See also|List of decorative plants}}
Decorative plants can be bought from the [[build mode]].
 
In ''[[The Sims]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2]]'', some of them have to be taken care of. Flowers need to be watered, otherwise they will die. In ''The Sims 2'', bushes occasionally need to be trimmed and weeds may need to be pulled. A [[Servo]], [[Butlerbutler]] or [[Gardenergardener]] can be hired to take care of them. Dead flowers, untrimmed bushes, and weeds lower the lot's [[Environmentenvironment]] score.
 
Decorative plants won'tdo dienot need to be cared for in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]'', and thus cannot die.
 
==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 4]]'' . When harvested, they will give produce., Theywhich can be treessold in [[Old Town]]{{Vgversion|TS2TS:SU}}, in the [[Supermarket]]{{Vgversion|TS3}}, on the spot{{Vgversionvgversion|TS4TS2: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}}, [[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, which however consists of the same actions (pulling weeds and watering). The produce can be sold in [[Old Town]]{{Vgversion|TS:U}}, in the [[Supermarket]]{{Vgversion|TS3}}, on the spot{{vgversion|TS2:S}} or be consumed.
