Description
Grow Wild is a cosy relaxing nature game where you grow real-world plants and trees to attract wildlife.

You’ll join the Grow Wild Nature Club and travel the globe transforming empty landscapes into thriving biodiverse ecosystems using real ecological principles.

The exuberant Professor Vicky Sponge will guide you on your adventure across 5 biomes as you rewild 15 diverse landscapes, discover 300 species, and witness how small actions grow into lasting ecological change and climate stability.

You’ll look at lizards, pick up pine cones, balance biomes, photograph falcons, sow seeds, trim trees, follow a frog, hide in a bush, surprise a snake, wait for a weasel, chat about chiff chaffs, and experience the magic, joy, and wonder of the natural world.

The game was inspired by the real-world experience of the game designer Philip Sinclair, who transformed an empty field into a thriving wildlife habitat over 15 years.
He hopes the game will help players will fall in love with nature and be inspired to take action to protect it.
