Seeds

City2 — A page of the seed catalog at the City Garden Mini Market

Seeds were interactive items that players could purchase, plant, grow, and harvest. They were first introduced for Arbor Day on April 24th, 2009.^[1]^[2] Seeds could be purchased for typically between 100-300 Bear Bills from the LumBear Yard, the City Garden Mini Market, or the Farmer's Mini Market. Once obtained, seeds could be planted at a player's Cub Condo in any room with a soil patch and harvested for prizes. Rooms with soil patches included the Cub Condo Exterior, Sun Room, Patio, Rooftop, Backyard Pond, and the Backyard. Seeds could also be planted in a player's garden plot at the City Garden.

Caring For Seeds[]

City3 — A Pear Plant's energy bars at a player's City Garden plot

Seeds had to be cared for in order to be harvested. After choosing a seed from the Furniture section of My Stuff, clicking on it, and dragging and dropping it onto a soil patch, the seed was planted and ready to be tended to. By clicking on a planted seed, players were presented with a menu that showcased the plant's health and growth progress in the form of energy bars. In order to fill these energy bars and care for their plant properly, players needed to purchase 4 different gardening tools from the LumBear Yard:

Seed Energy Bars — Energy Bars showcased what actions needed to be taken to care for the plant ^[3]

Watering Can: watered the plant and filled the "Water" energy bar
Trimmers: cut away weeds and filled the "Bad Weeds" energy bar
Fly Swatter: removed bugs around plant and filled the "Bugs" energy bar
Fertilizer: added fertilizer to soil and filled the "Fertilizer" energy bar

These tools were stored in the "Other" section of My Stuff.

City4 — A screenshot of the Help menu players could access to learn more about plant care and harvesting

Using these tools, players could perform any 3 gardening actions a day for each plant. After their 3 actions were completed, players could ask friends to care for the plant too.

City5 — A notification warning the player that they have completed all 3 permitted gardening actions for the day.

The bottom bar of the plant care menu displayed the current level of each plant. After reaching level 5, the plant could be harvested. If a player cared for their plant everyday, it would take about 10 days for the plant to be ready to harvest.

Harvesting & Rewards[]

Once harvested, players received a furniture or food reward corresponding to the plant they had grown.^[4] The most common type of reward was interactive food baskets that could be displayed as furniture. If clicked, these baskets allowed players and their Furry Friends to eat the food they held.^[5] Some plants rewarded edible food items or novelty furniture items instead. Additionally, all harvest prizes could be sold for Bear Bills.^[6]

As an additional incentive, during the gardening process, Bear Bills and seeds would be randomly awarded to players for their efforts.^[7]

Special Seeds[]

There were a couple special seeds that unlocked customizable rooms which could be accessed after the plant was fully grown. These were the Treehouse and Cloud Room. If a player owned a Cloud Room, harvesting various seeds gave them a chance of receiving a piece of Cloud furniture.
