Hello botanists!
The pledge manager is now closed, however if you are having any issues with payments etc., please let us know. Remember that addresses will still be editable until we begin the fulfillment process (and we will warn you before they lock).
This is a quick update to show you where we are at with production. The paper and cardboard components are all approved and ready, here are our first looks at the other components...!
The wooden pieces for the Botanist pledge
The visitor meeples
The die faces for A Walk in the Park
The only thing still to mock up are the Botanist pledge level wooden statues. These should be mocked up very soon. Once they are approved we will be ready to begin production! Once we receive the pre-production copy of the game we will be sure to show you how it looks.
Meanwhile in Canada
Our Maple Friends are working on some good canadian boardgamy maple syrup. This long sentence mainly wants to get your attention on the fact that Octopus's Garden is being worked on and coming next week on Kickstarter.
If a light weight game with open-market mechanics, modularity and fun for the whole family (of octopuses) interests you, please consider checking it out and join the fun here:
Stay tuned for more news, thanks again for your support!

Pledge Manager Closing Soon
over 2 years ago
– Sun, Nov 14, 2021 at 05:57:50 PM
Hello everyone!
We wanted to remind you that the pledge manager for The Gardens will be closing at the end of the day on Monday, November 15th. This is the last chance for you to add items to your pledge, or complete your pledge as is. Late pledges will be closing as well.
Please note that everyone - even those that paid in full during the Kickstarter, with nothing to add-on or change - must complete their pledge manager. If you don't complete yours, we can't guarantee your copy will arrive on time, and in some rare cases may have to cancel your order. In short, we need your shipping details at least :)
If your card has not been charged yet (should you have amended your pledge) please note your payment will be made after the pledge manager closes and will appear on your banking statement as a payment to "Surfin' Meeple" (our logistics partner).
Thanks again for everyone's support!
Production update:
All print files have been approved for production, but the factory is still mocking up samples of the wooden landmarks and statues. (Visitor meeples and A Walk in the Park dice are done!) Once these are complete it is on to production!! We will share photos pf samples once we have everything :)
Thanks again and will keep you updated as the project progresses.

Hi everyone, a quick update on production of The Gardens and A Walk in the Park...
The files for the game have been approved for production, including everything in the English and French languages. Once the Spanish translations are complete and checked we will enter the production queue. This is great news as we are (at this stage) well ahead of schedule.
Pledge Manager reminder
We are nearing the halfway point of the pledge manager. If you still have not filled in your survey, please check you email for the BackerKit invite link.
If you need to return to your survey for any reason, you may do so (via that same email link) until they lock on November 15 (though postal addresses will remain editable for a while after that). No cards are charged until the surveys are closed (and you will receive a warning that will happen). If you have lost your survey link, you can have it sent again by entering the email address connected your Kickstarter account here: https://the-gardens-take-a-walk-in-the-park.backerkit.com
