Garden

A nice garden.

Gardens are one of the main uses of a yard in The Sims series. They usually contain trees, flowers, bushes, water streams and rocks.

There are two types of plants: Decorative and harvestable.

Decorative plants

Decorative plants are bought from the Build mode. They can be trees, bushes and flowers.

In The Sims and The Sims 2, they have to be taken care of: Watering them and pulling weeds. If your Sim can't take care of those plants, the Servo, Butler or Gardener can take care of them. Otherwise, they will die, lowering the Environment need.

They do not need any care in The Sims 3.

Harvestable plants

Harvestable plants were first introduced in The Sims: Unleashed and returned in The Sims 2: Seasons and in The Sims 3. When harvested, they will give vegetables. They can be trees[TS2:S][TS3] or bushes.

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[TS:U], in the Supermarket[TS3], on the spot[TS2:S] or consumed.

There are several obstacles to this type of gardening: Gophers and rabbits[TS:U] and cold weather[TS2:S]. Gophers and rabbits can be chased by a cat and cold weather can be avoided by growing plants in a greenhouse.

There are several utensils used for gardening:

In The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, the ability to garden can be improved.
