The enduring estate of Botany Manor is home to retired botanist Arabella Greene. After a long career, she has amassed a collection of rare, long-forgotten plants that require some research to help them live again. Play as Arabella and explore the stunning historic manor and its grounds to look for clues in her notes, books, posters and items scattered around the residence to determine the correct set of circumstances to help the flora flourish. Interactable items around the property that can be turned and flipped will provide information to help you solve each gardening puzzle. Unlock new seeds, discover how to grow the plants and uncover their mysterious qualities.
