Planticulture

The release date for Planticulture is July 22, 2026, on PC. This garden simulator focuses on the mechanics of companion planting, where different flora provide shade, attract pollinators, or ward off pests to help their neighbors thrive. You start with a single sunflower and a patch of soil, slowly mastering composting and light management to expand into a larger, interconnected ecosystem.

The game supports both an idle approach and active efficiency, allowing you to manually tend to water and fertility or fast-forward through growth cycles to see the results of your layout. With over 15 plant species to mature and a journal to fill with photographs of your garden's progress, it offers a structured loop for those who prefer specific goals alongside their sandbox creativity. Greenhouse enthusiasts looking for a technical take on botany should wishlist this for its summer launch.
