Zen Garden

The Zen Garden is a virtual garden where the player keeps plants that he or she has collected. By watering and growing plants, players can earn coins and free boosts for their plants. The growing periods can be shortened and more plant pots can be added to the garden with gems. Also, Bernie the Bee also accompanies the player in the garden, shortening the desired plants' growing process.

Arena
