Summer is just around the corner and many of you may be thinking about creating the perfect outdoor space for your pets to play. We asked Hailey and Elwin if they had any tips on how to create a natural looking garden and this is what they had to say:
ELWIN: If you add more than one of the same type of tree to your garden, try rotating each one in a different direction so they don’t look identical.
HAILEY: That is a great tip to making a natural looking garden! For example, look at the first image of the three trees below. The trees look identical in the first image, but in the second image they have been rotated in different directions making them look like 3 different trees! You really notice the difference when you look at their trunks.
ELWIN: The same trick applies to the Flagstone Path Tiles. Look at them lined up together facing the same direction. Now compare them to the second picture where each tile has been randomly rotated.
HAILEY: It’s amazing how much more natural they look when they are not all facing the same direction!
ELWIN: Here’s a tip on how to make a natural looking pumpkin patch. Instead of lining up the Giant Pumpkin Patch pumpkins facing the same direction, try randomly rotating them too!
HAILEY: You can even mix in a few regular Pumpkin Patch pumpkins to make it look like the pumpkins are in various stages of growth. Both types of Pumpkin Patch pumpkins are available in the Decorations category of the WShop (under “outdoors”)
Thanks Hailey and Elwin! Remember, to rotate an item, click on it while you are in EDIT mode in your pet’s room then use the arrow buttons to rotate your item. Click OK when you are done and you item will be placed back in your room.

Nice.
Some more advice…save up your kinzcash to do a vegetable garden. Before long it will pay for itself & you will find your kinzcash growing! I have one with pumpkins & watermelons & special plants from the estore that I’ve won; another with tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, strawberries & corn; & one with jumbleberries. I used to have more, but it just got to be to time consuming to keep up with them. CLS954 aka cinderlou9 aka berry
Thanks for the great tip on rotating trees & the flagstone path. I’ve made so many special gardens & keep coming up with new ideas to add more. One of my favorite is using the Wisteria tree & items from the Blooming Flowers room. You can use those items inside, outside & treetop. I’ve done a pink ribbon garden, Valentine garden, Pot of Gold garden to name a few. Don’t be afraid to try items to see if they can be used outside, you will be pleasantly surprised by what you can use…some of the birthstone lamps for instance. Be creative & enjoy!

YAY!
webkinz should make a garden bundle including seeds a gardening book special plant food that makes the plant grow faster and gardening tools
That’s a really cool idea!

I could hardly tell the difference until I saw the trees where positioned differently. I like the organized rows better! I am going to start a garden! RIGHT NOW! If you want to visit my house and see… add me at eberry4
