Instructions
Play the game and grow your garden. Tend to the garden between missions you can undertake. These missions vary from finding missing people to bringing items back to characters.
Complete missions to earn items, money, plants and sometimes pinatas. Examine the items to decide how you want to use them. Read the description on the bottom of the item to get a hint. For example, a bush may have a hint saying "plant me in cold ground only" to let you know to plant the bush during cold seasons.
Use your money to buy plants and other items for your garden and weapons for your missions. Plant the plants you buy and tend to them regularly. Tend your garden to earn levels as a gardener.
Build your other game levels by performing the tasks necessary to raise your skill. For example, raise your swimming level by swimming in a lake or pond.
Level a stat until you earn a new pinata. For example, you can earn a pinata by becoming a level six gardener. Continue to raise that stat as later levels may earn you another pinata.
Talk to characters in the game during various points to earn pinatas. Read the text of a character carefully to find a hint about when you can come back for your pinata. For example, a character may mention being too cold to talk. Come back in warmer weather and he may give you a pinata.
Finish all the missions in the game to earn your mission pinatas. Continue tending to your garden, raising stats and interacting with other characters to find the rest of the pinatas as you finish your missions.
