‘Bro, my lilacs are crazy': why boys love virtual gardening
I first realised something was up when I heard the classical music coming from the iPad as my 11-year-old sat there swiping. 'Teddy, are you listening to Mozart's Rondo alla Turca?' I asked. 'Oh. It's this game I'm playing on Roblox,' he responded. I became more suspicious when I tuned into the conversations his friends were having at the school gates. There was talk of 'pollinators', 'honeysuckle' and 'seed packs'. Boys were greeting one another with sentences like 'Bro, my lilacs have gone crazy' and discussing the challenges of succulents. Naturally, I assumed this was standard pre-teen drug slang. But no, they genuinely were talking about horticulture, albeit virtual horticulture. Yes, the game of the moment is Grow a Garden, a simulator hosted on the gaming platform Roblox, in which users have to grow carrots and daffodils and ember lilies, then sell them at market and make their fortunes.

Grow A Garden, Gen Alpha's FarmVille, is growing like crazy in Roblox
Grow A Garden is the first major Roblox game to integrate offline growth, which encourages players to return to see changes. PHOTO: ROBLOX NEW YORK – Anyone older than 25 likely has fond – or madly frustrating – memories of playing FarmVille, the popular browser game that lets users grow virtual crops and herd pixellated animals. Agriculture aficionados can rejoice: Generation Alpha's FarmVille has arrived. Grow A Garden, a simplistic farming simulation that involves planting seeds and collecting exotic pets, has exploded as one of the most highly played titles of 2025. Technically an 'experience' within the game-creation platform Roblox, it smashed its own record for concurrent users by reeling in 16.4 million active players in mid-June. It is a genuinely shocking feat. That number is more than online game Fortnite's peak and greater than the concurrent player records of the top five Steam games combined. Grow A Garden's allure might baffle anyone who has never toyed with slow-paced world-builders like Animal Crossing or Tomodachi Life. Players nurture a potpourri of plants and pets, which they can buy and sell in exchange for the in-game currency Sheckles. Sheckles can also be bought with Roblox's in-platform currency Robux (which can itself be purchased with real dollars). Plots begin barren before users transform them into fantastical safaris of shimmering frogs and prancing monkeys that each have their own special abilities. Suddenly, a player's dismal square brims with vibrant vegetation and beanstalks shooting into the sky. Numerous qualities elevate the game from a standard farm sim. It is the first major Roblox game to integrate offline growth, which encourages players to return to see changes. There are multiple time-sensitive components, including shops that restock with new items every five minutes and weekly drops – like the fruit-pollinating Bizzy Bees – with exclusive items that feel like can't-miss moments. Every little element has been shaped to keep people hooked, including blind-box pet eggs and the ability to steal things from other users' farms. These digital ranchers are so feverish that some have resorted to third-party sites to acquire the most legendary commodities. People have spent more than US$100 (S$129) on eBay listings for the cosmic-looking Candy Blossom Tree and Titanic Dragonflies. At its peak, Grow A Garden had more than triple the population of New Zealand, the home of Mr Janzen Madsen, who runs Splitting Point Studios, which scouts and acquires rising games on the platform. When the 28-year-old picked up Grow A Garden from the Roblox creator BMWLux in April, it had about 2,000 concurrent users. 'I was immediately like, 'Wow, this is pretty cool,'' said Mr Madsen, who is also known as Jandel. 'Farming is pretty innate to humans. If you think about it, the past thousands and thousands of years, it's what everyone's done.' His team of about 20 people scaled the game, fixing bugs and adding key elements such as daily quests. And it is still tinkering. Mr Madsen teased an update involving dogs that would recover fossils that could be traded in for sand-themed fruits, and eventually a feature that allows people to trade items. He also wants to have celebrities host live events with him. He has scaled many Roblox games, but nothing like this. He has seen people playing the game in real life, and all of his friends' children are loving it. 'To be platform-defining, or even industry-defining, is crazy,' he said. As news about the game's record-obliterating player count spread across the internet, some were dubious about its legitimacy. But after comparisons with other games on Roblox, people have largely concluded that bots have not heavily contributed to Grow A Garden's success. Some have theorised that the game is so popular because its bare-bones, subtly addictive gameplay appeals to a new, younger audience that is just starting to dominate Roblox. A popular video clip showed what looked like a classroom full of children sitting at computers excitedly awaiting a Grow A Garden update. According to Madsen's data, about 35 per cent of its sizeable player base is aged under 13. KreekCraft, a popular Roblox YouTuber, pointed to Grow A Garden's popularity on TikTok and Shorts – full of juvenile, goofy clips of the game – as evidence of its younger users. 'Normally, whenever a Roblox game gets really popular, there's an equal reaction on the YouTube side of things,' said KreekCraft, whose real name is Forrest. Instead, there is barely any long-form content proportional to the game's success. Previous Roblox hits like Dress To Impress were buoyed by influencers such as American online streamer and YouTuber Kai Cenat, but this one is all short-form videos. 'It's a lot of younger kids coming in,' KreekCraft said. 'It's a very simple, straightforward, easy-to-understand game.' Still, Grow A Garden is clearly beloved by people of all ages. Nobody has any clue how big it will become and how long it can continue this upward growth. 'It's definitely a Roblox game that came out of nowhere,' KreekCraft said in disbelief. 'It popped on the radar a few weeks ago and now it's broken every single Roblox record by miles. And it's just like, 'How did this happen? What is the ceiling here?' It blows my mind.'

The growing popularity of gaming's surprise hit
Shooting, chasing, exploring - hit video games tend to have themes that set the pulse of the world's most popular new titles, however, is about something considerably more sedate - a Garden involves players slowly developing a little patch of virtual land. It's something that, earlier this month, more than 16m people - many of them children - chose to spend their weekend smashed a record for concurrent players set by the somewhat more adrenalin-filled is it about this plant-growing simulation that has got so many people hooked - and could it persuade more people into real-life gardens? How your garden grows Players of Grow a Garden, which features on the online gaming platform, Roblox, do exactly what the title I gave the game a go, I was presented with my own little brown patch of land. To the sounds of some relaxing music, I bought seeds from the local shop, and watched them as they grew, something that continues even when you are offline. Once your garden produces a harvest, you can sell your items. You can also steal from the gardens of others. "It's a really fun game," says eight-year-old Eric Watson Teire, from Edinburgh. He and his 10-year-old brother, Owen, are massive said "a lot" of his friends at school are playing it too. "We can do competitions with each other - like, whose got the most Sheckles [the in-game currency], whose got the best plant."They are not the only ones. According to Roblox, the game has had about 9bn visits since it was created in March. It says 35% of the Garden's players up until now have been aged 13 and under. It's fair to say the premise does not appeal to everyone - there are online forums puzzling at the popularity of a game which its detractors say is "the equivalent of watching paint dry."Eric says the slowness of the game has an appeal. "There's a bit of patience to it," he told the BBC he enjoyed the competitive element of it - but its virtual produce also caught his attention. "Could there be a sugar apple - which is the best plant you can get? Or will there be a carrot, which is the worst?"The gameplay can be sped up if you use Robux, the Roblox currency, which is paid for with real players are very willing to do that. On eBay, it is possible to buy some of the most sought-after items - such as a mutated candy blossom tree or a dragonfly - for hundreds of Roblox is one of the world's largest games platforms. In the early months of this year, it had 97.8m daily vast empire includes some 40 million user-generated games and experiences, and Roblox is the most popular site in the UK for gamers aged eight to 12. While many love the platform, there have also been reports of young people being groomed on it and becoming addicted. Roblox told the BBC earlier this year it was confident in its safety tools, and took the approach that "even one bad incident is one too many". 'A seed of an idea' If people discover they love virtual gardening, might they be encouraged to take up the real thing? Andrew K. Przybylski, a professor of human behaviour and technology at the University of Oxford, said it was possible the game could "plant a seed" that could lead to a passion for plants. But, overall, he's sceptical."It is unlikely that a game like this will encourage real world gardening any more than Super Mario Wonder encourages plumbing," he told the Sarah Mills of Loughborough University has carried out research into the experience of young people and gaming. She highlights a key appeal of Grow a Graden is it is free to play, but the in-game currency is important."This wider landscape of paid reward systems in digital games can impact children and young people's experiences of gaming and financial literacy," she said."It can also cause challenges for many families to navigate, changing the nature of pocket money."Gardening podcaster and BBC presenter Thordis Fridriksson, meanwhile, is hopeful that any interest in gardening is a good thing."Obviously the whole process is pretty different to real life, but it taps into the same thing which makes gardening so addictive, and that's planting seeds and watching your garden grow. "Fingers crossed some of the people who love the game will try growing something at home."Outside the living room in Edinburgh where they play the game is Owen and Eric's actual garden, which both boys help in. "I like gardening - and gardening in Grow a Garden," says asked which one he prefers, he's emphatic: "Grow a Garden!"
