In Spring 2025, a quiet gardening game on Roblox, “Grow a Garden,” took over the platform. Built in three days by a 16-year-old, it became Roblox’s most played game – beating Fortnite. At its peak, 21 million people played it at once.
Most players? Kids under 13.
Why Kids Chose Gardening 🎮
“Grow a Garden” gives players a small plot, a few seeds, and a goal: grow a beautiful garden. They earn coins by harvesting crops and use them to expand their farms.
What made it work:
- ✅ Fast progress: Crops grow while the player is offline.
- 🎁 Surprise rewards: Rare plants, events, and loot crates keep it fresh.
- 👨🌾 Social features: Players visit friends’ gardens and show off their progress.
- 🎯 Daily goals: Events and rewards encourage regular play.
- 🌍 Big community: Every garden is visible, which motivates players to keep improving.
The game teaches basic gardening concepts — all through play.
From Game to Garden 🪴
Teachers and parents report that kids are asking real questions:
- Why do plants need water?
- What makes something grow?
- Can I plant this at home?
Some schools started projects where kids plant real seeds, decorate pots like their game plots, and track growth.
“Grow a Garden” introduces gardening terms and habits. The daily care cycle — water, wait, harvest — mirrors real gardening. It builds patience, focus, and curiosity.
What It Means for easyDacha 🚀
easyDacha helps people plan and care for real gardens. The Roblox trend shows that kids already enjoy the idea of growing things. Now is the moment to connect that interest to real life.
How we can use this:

- 🌻 “Grow it IRL” challenges: Link digital goals with real planting. Example: Grow a sunflower in the app, then plant one at home and share a photo.
- 🐞 Interactive learning: Add AR features. Scan your plant, see a digital bug, and learn a quick fact.
- 🧑🤝🧑 Community space: Let users post photos, compare progress, and share tips — safely, with moderation.
