[[File:Gardening skill icon.png|left]]'''Gardening''' is a [[skill]] in ''[[The Sims 3]]''. The skill is augmented by the [[Green Thumb]] [[Trait (The Sims 3)|trait]], and the '''Super Green Thumb''' [[lifetime reward]]. It involves (as with gardening in real life and the previous Sims games) the planting, growing and harvesting of various plants that
Some [[expansion pack]]s include more varieties of plant collections. Some of the plants can be used as ingredients for [[Nectar Making]] and [[Mixology (The Sims 3)|Mixology]], with the key ingredients for Nectar Making being the grapes from [[Champs Les Sims]]. With ''[[Ambitions]]'', Sims can register as a [[Skill career|self-employed]] Gardener. Gardening can be profitable by selling the harvested produce from the inventory, [[supermarket]], or [[consignment store]].
Only [[teen]]s and older can tend gardens. Children cannot learn the Gardening skill, but they can learn the Child Gardening [[Secret skills#Generations|hidden skill]]. Once a child grows up into a teenager, they will earn Gardening skills at the same level of their Child Gardening and [[Afterschool activity#Scouting|Scouting]] hidden skills.
Once a Sim has maximized their Gardening skill, they will receive a certificate in the [[mailbox]] a few days later, along with a [[notification]] saying: "The Dillinger Diggers Guild congratulates you, [Sim name], for achieving the very highest level of excellence in bringing life forth from our fertile Earth. Please accept this handsomely framed certificate and display it with pride knowing others will see just how skilled you are."

=== Notes ===
* The sale values of each plant depends on its quality. The higher the quality, the more valuable it will be, based on its base value:
**

**
**
** Great: 200%
*'''Max Produce''' is the maximum produce the plant can bear before being barren.▼
** Excellent: 250%
*'''Nectar Value''' is the value of the produce when used as a single nectar ingredient.▼
** Outstanding: 300%
** Perfect: 400%
▲* '''Max Produce''' is the maximum produce the plant can bear before being barren.
▲* '''Nectar Value''' is the value of the produce when used as a single nectar ingredient.
== Quality &
Harvested produce has a quality ranging from horrifying, putrid, foul, bad, normal, nice, very nice, great, excellent, outstanding, and perfect. Higher quality produce is worth more for selling and will have increased strength as fertilizer. The quality of the harvested produce roughly corresponds to the quality of the plants. Thus, an excellent apple tree will usually bear excellent apples, however there is a chance of harvesting higher quality produce.

=== Mushrooms ===
Mushrooms are plants that came from ''[[Supernatural]]''. The common use of mushroom is for Alchemy ingredients. Some mushrooms are edible and can be used as a food ingredient, i.e. truffles, porcinis, and white caps; while the others are inedible. Collecting wild mushrooms is also part of the [[Collecting (The Sims 3)|Collecting]] challenges. Collecting 7 of them will increase the quality of mushrooms grown. Harvested mushrooms don't count to the challenge.

=== Crystal
Crystal flowers are plants that came from ''[[Into the Future]]''. The main use of crystal flowers is as ingredients to create [[trait chip]]s for [[plumbot]]s. A crystal flower has 5 types of emotional charges. The common emotional charge is neutral. Sims can charge a crystal flower so the emotional charge will turn into either kindness, laughter, love, or rage. After that, they must charge the flower regularly, or the emotional charge will lose its power and eventually turn back into neutral. Sims can also neutralize the flower to change the emotional charge to neutral instantly.
When the flowers are harvested, Sims can harness the flower or imbue it to other Sims. When harnessed, the flower will grant a special [[moodlet]] to the user. Only non-neutral flowers can be harnessed.
=== Money
[[File:Money-tree-ts3.jpg|thumb|Money trees]]
Money tree is a special tree that has money bill leaves and grows money bags. Sims can harvest the money bags and exchange them for money. Sims can receive the seed from certain opportunities, [[Fishing (The Sims 3)|fishing]], analyzing an unknown special seed, and so on.
The following plants have the rarity of special. Sims can plant these seeds after they've completed certain [[Opportunity|opportunities]]. Completing the ''[[Opportunity/Gardening#Uncommonly Good|Uncommonly Good]]'' opportunity will grant the ability to plant cheeses and eggs. Completing the ''[[Opportunity/Gardening#Outstandingly Rare|Outstandingly Rare]]'' opportunity will grant the ability to plant steaks and patties. Completing ''[[Opportunity/Gardening#The Omnificent Plant|The Omnificent Plant]]'' grants the ability to plant [[omni plant]] and order its seed from the mailbox.<ref>There's a glitch that prevents Sims from ordering the Omni Plant seed from the mailbox.</ref> These opportunities can only be received in order, but not necessarily

▲The following plants have the rarity of special. Sims can plant these seeds after they've completed certain [[Opportunity|opportunities]]. Completing the ''Uncommonly Good'' opportunity will grant the ability to plant cheeses and eggs. Completing the ''Outstandingly Rare'' opportunity will grant the ability to plant steaks and patties. Completing ''The Omnificent Plant'' grants the ability to plant [[omni plant]] and order its seed from the mailbox.<ref>There's a glitch that prevents Sims from ordering the Omni Plant seed from the mailbox.</ref> These opportunities can only be received in order, but not necessarily consecutive. This is because ''The Omnificent Plant'' requires Sims to plant outstanding steaks and ''Uncommonly Good'' requires Sims to plant excellent cheeses.
*Ingredients (harvestable produce, fish, and grocery ingredients)
*Candles
*[[Rubber ducky|Rubber duckies]]
*Teddy bears
*[[Toy box]] toys
There are several things to consider about the items that can be fed to:
▲Omni plant is a special plant which can be used to replicate many things. The plant can be fed with almost anything, and once the plant is on its harvest state, Sims can harvest whatever the plant was fed with. This plant is useful to replicate rare things, such as [[death flower]]s.
*Cooking recipes, alchemy recipes, and comic books cannot be fed to omni plants. This means that the players cannot exploit Ambrosia recipe book worth §12,000.
*Not all plants are considered as ingredients. [[Death flower]]s, [[forbidden fruit]], and crystal flowers cannot be fed to omni plants in particular.
*Inedible plants may still be considered as ingredients, such as kelp, inedible mushrooms, mandrake root, and wolfsbane flower.
*Imaginary friend doll is considered as a teddy bear, but cannot be fed to omni plants nonetheless.
== Fertilizer ==
Fertilizer can be used to increase the plant speed growth. Fertilizer does not affect the quality of the plant or produce. Most ingredients can be used to fertilize plants, as well as horse fertilizer from the horse stall. Below is the list of fertilizers, the time the effect lasts, and the grade.

== Tips ==
Line 1,246 ⟶ 1,311:
*Sims can use a [[Sprinkler (gardening)|sprinkler]] to water plants in a 5x5 area. It can be turned on and run indefinitely. Sims can [[Handiness#Upgrades|upgrade]] the sprinkler with Auto-Water so it will run between 4 AM and 7 AM, but it has to be turned off first.
*[[Science (skill)|Science]] skill helps aid Sims with gardening. The higher a Sim's Science skill is, the more chance they will harvest extra produce, boost the harvested produce quality, and increase the seed quality.{{Vgversion|TS3:UL}}
*The [[harvester]] can be used to harvest multiple plants at once.
*Selling the produce in the [[supermarket]] is worth 10% higher than selling from inventory, and even more if sold in [[consignment store]].{{Vgversion|TS3:A}}
*Sims can plant indoors with the
*[[Unicorn]]s and [[Fairy|fairies]] can use their abilities to grow up the plants one level higher, up to their harvestable state.
*The following traits are suggested to help with Gardening:
Line 1,265 ⟶ 1,330:
*Fertilizers and weeds don't affect the plant quality. They only affect the growth time of the plant: fertilizer shortens the time, while the weeds increases the time.
*Plants are immune from [[meteor]] impact, but the produce will be destroyed.{{Vgversion|TS3:A}}
*Banana{{Vgversion|TS3:ST}} and corn{{Vgversion|Store}} don't have proper plant mesh. Instead of growing on a banana palm tree like in ''[[The Sims 2: Castaway]]'' and a corn stalk, they grow on a generic fruit tree and a staked bush, respectively.
*Watch out for [[zombie]]s as they will eat the plants and set them to dead state. Keep the plants indoor to keep them away from zombies.
*Like zombies, [[horse]]s and [[deer]] will also autonomously eat garden plants. Fencing off the garden and locking the gate will prevent them from getting in.{{Vgversion|TS3:P}}
*During and near [[winter]], plants will remain dormant until it's mid-spring. During the dormant period, Sims cannot tend the garden. Planting indoors will prevent plants from getting dormant. It will also change the dormant state to normal when the plant is moved indoors, but only after 4 AM or the next time the game is loaded.{{Vgversion|TS3:S}}
*There is a glitch that prevents Sims from ordering Omni Plant seeds via mailbox normally after [[The Sims 3/Patch 17|patch 1.17]] causing the Sim's action queue to be automatically dropped when they reach the mailbox. There is a [[User blog:Wiryawan310/How to order Omniplant Seed if the glitch still there|temporary workaround]] for the Sim to bypass the glitch and order the Omni Plant seed via mailbox normally.
*There is a glitch with Gardening after installing ''[[Supernatural]]''. Sims' action will be dropped shortly when they are interacting with the plants. The plants will remain in the harvestable state after Sims harvest them instead of going back to mature state, causing the plants to be stuck and unable to produce again. The bug is caused due to the new [[collection journal]] feature introduced in this pack. This bug only occurs to Sims who have had history in Collecting; newly-made Sims will not experience this bug. The bug is fixed in Twallan's Overwatch mod.
*The cucumber plant from Canning Station premium content is missing translation strings for all languages except English. This prevents the game from loading the plant data properly, and causes the plant not to grow at all. There is a [
