Slow start, but it gets more challenging after level 13 when second player appears. Would be better if there was a hot key to switch between players; as is, you have to find them and click them. Would also like to be able to cancel an action, but overall an okay TM game

I recommend this game!

This might be a little old school but, I enjoy old school. I think this is one of those fun games that makes you remember the early tm games. I played through the trial and was a little disappointed when it ended. I will probably buy this game when they have a discount price because it is old school but I would definitely buy it.

I recommend this game!

I've been desperate for a new time management game that isn't a "gather resources, build buildings and defeat road obstacles" type, so I may be giving this one more stars than it's worth. It's a cute time management game, although the graphics are a little retro. Customers come in, you get their flower order, sometimes with a ribbon or a pot involved.

I've been desperate for a new time management game that isn't a "gather resources, build buildings and defeat road obstacles" type, so I may be giving this one more stars than it's worth. It's a cute time management game, although the graphics are a little retro. Customers come in, you get their flower order, sometimes with a ribbon or a pot involved. The part I don't like about this is when you get a "helper", it actually makes the game more complicated as you have to remember to click between helpers to use them. Forget to click the right helper and you may mess up your current flower order. I found this a little frustrating so I'll be avoiding purchase on this game. Show less

I love TM games but I didn't really enjoy this one. Clicking to move between different workers and having to choose a flower to produce each time was tedious not enjoyable. Not my favorite.

I don't recommend this game.

I played this game a few years ago on another site but while playing it again, I remembered my frustration and why I never purchased it. Garden Shop has cute characters and somewhat of a story line -- which is not all that important when it comes to time management games.

Game play was fun until it came time to hire another employee who could help me. The problem was I had to remember to click on the employee so he/she could help but then I had to remember to click on my character so I could take over running to the other locations. This seemed to break my concentration and slow me down, so I finally stopped playing.

Also, the patience level of the customers is very low, even early on in the game. I'm good at TM games but I prefer a gradual loss of customer impatience so I can get used to the mechanics of the game.

Although Garden Shop is a 3 Star game at best, I still recommend you give it go. Show less

I recommend this game!

Now granted, I know this game is a bit older than some other ones, but I wanted to play a TM game with the old school style. However, I could barely make it through 5 levels of this one.

First and foremost, I didn't like how monotonous the actual game mechanics were. I felt like I was just clicking and clicking instead of getting engaged in what I was actually doing. Although I didn't mind the introduction of making pots for the flowers, I would've loved the ability to make them beforehand instead of being forced to hold it and put something in it. Everything felt much too fast, and I couldn't actually control what I was buying with my money at first.

I also wasn't a huge fan of the visuals. Although this is more of a personal choice than an actual issue, it just wasn't my cup of tea. The cutscene art was a bit better than the actual gameplay models, but overall I just didn't really enjoy them. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

There are 70 levels available in this Time Management, sadly, I could barely make it through 4 levels, because it's too boring. Chloe has asked Angela to work in her garden shop while she's on vacation, so you get a quick tutorial to bring you up to speed before she leaves for some much needed R & R. The tasks are simple and monotonous, to make matters worse, you are forced to complete one customer's order completely before you can go onto the next order.

You must click on a customer to find out what flowers they want to purchase, then you click on the gardner and select the type of flower the customer indicated they want, and the gardner disappears into the greenhouse. There is a metered icon indicating how long it takes for the gardener to finish his masterpiece, when he is finished you click on the gardener to get the flowers, and then click on the correct customer to deliver the flowers, and click on the money to collect it. You can click on the next customer, but you cannot queue up multiple tasks (unless this is an option later in the game) because you have to wait for the gardener to complete the first task before giving him another order, and this was a huge disappointment for me.

The money you earn can be used to purchase upgrades that will help you work faster. The upgrades are the normal upgrades found in most Time Management games, where you purchase extra counter space to serve more customers or even a pot workshop. The pot workshop allows you to combine a flower pot with the flowers, if that is what the customers desire. When you click on the pot workshop you get a pop up window that gives you three different types of flowerpots to choose from, which is then taken to the gardener to place the flowers he ordered into the pot. That's all the further I got, I just didn't have any fun playing this game. There is a Rush mode that will be unlocked eventually as you progress. Perhaps you will find the game more interesting, but I just can't recommend this game. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I don’t know why Garden Shop seems so familiar but it feels like I played this game years ago. If not, then this developer has revamped an old game. If the game is new, it sure seems like an old school TM game.

The graphics seem colorful but the game opened with patterned bars on either side of the play area. There are no voiceovers only the annoying bouncy music that would make me crazy if I bothered to play the game more than five minutes. The game is very basic and offers minimal settings so it might be a great game for someone who is just dipping into the TM types of games.

The premise of the game is to serve customers – as many as possible – and fill their orders. Pick up their money and then buy more items for your shop. Yep that’s about it and I could just see myself becoming extremely bored in ten minutes or less.

I couldn’t play the game more than the first level and maybe there is more but I didn’t want to work in this Garden Shop any longer than my first day. As always, I recommend you at least try the demo to see if this is a game you will enjoy. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
