They usually contain [[plant|harvestable plants]] or decorative plants, like trees, flowers or bushes, which are sometimes framed by [[Fence|fences]]. Other types of decoration that can be used are [[Pond|ponds]], rocks and certain types of decoration from the [[buy mode]], like the scarecrow{{Vgversion|TS:U}}. |

In ''The Sims 2'', bushes occasionally need to be trimmed and weeds may be need to be pulled. If Sims don't want to take care of those plants, a [[Servo]], [[Butler]] or [[Gardener]] can be hired to take care of them. Dead flowers, untrimmed bushes, and weeds lower the lot's [[Environment]] score. |

Harvestable plants were first introduced in ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]'' and returned in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and then in ''[[The Sims 4]]''. When harvested, they will give produce. They can be trees{{Vgversion|TS2:S}}{{Vgversion|TS3}}{{Vgversion|TS4}} or bushes. |

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. |

There are several obstacles to this type of gardening: Gophers and rabbits{{Vgversion|TS:U}}, cold weather{{Vgversion|TS2:S}}, and zombies{{Vgversion|TS3:SN}}. Gophers and rabbits can be chased by a cat and cold weather can be avoided by growing plants in a greenhouse. |
