Garden

Tiered display of grass blocks with a variety of garden plants. The bottom level has an orange nether plant, small cactus and vine mat on water.
Top- Grass, Berry, Mushroom, Ground, Gourd
Middle- Stalk, Tropical, Herb, Leafy, Textile
Bottom- Nether, Desert, and Water Gardens

Gardens are non-solid, single blocks placed during world generation in appropriate Biomes. There are thirteen types of garden added by Pam's Harvestcraft. Gardens are the single largest source of early game food. Eight of each garden are required to complete the Healing Axe quest.

Acquiring

Gardens will only spawn in biomes that have any of the required biome tags and do not have any of the forbidden biome tags listed below. No gardens will spawn in biomes with the DEAD tag, which has been omitted from the table. A Nature's Compass may be used to list and search for all biomes with a specific tag. Gardens also require specific blocks to spawn on, and may fail to spawn in biomes with snowy or rocky surfaces. Access to the sky is not a requirement for gardens to spawn, and they can be found underground in appropriate biomes.

Garden Required Biome Tag Forbidden Biome Tags Block
Berry FOREST, HILLS, COLD, WET Grass, Dirt
Desert SANDY Sand
Grass PLAINS COLD Grass, Dirt
Ground MOUNTAIN, HILLS, MESA, SAVANNA Grass, Dirt
Gourd PLAINS, FOREST Grass, Dirt
Herb FOREST COLD, WET Grass, Dirt
Leafy FOREST COLD, WET Grass, Dirt
Mushroom FOREST, WET COLD, MOUNTAIN Logs
Nether NETHER Netherrack, Soul Sand

Tropical WET, HOT Grass, Dirt
Water OCEAN, RIVER COLD Water

Besides world generation, gardens can also be obtained from the Gardens lootbag, which can be bought for five Farmer coins in the Quest Book. Water Gardens spawn in large bodies of water, which are often rare with default world generation. Shield and Lush Swamp are good biomes to search for them. A Water Garden can be crafted by combining a Topical, Leafy, Herb, and Ground Garden due to their rarity.

Usage

Left-clicking or otherwise breaking a garden will spawn three food items associated with that type. Water or breaking the supporting block will destroy gardens. Almost all of these items can be crafted into seeds to grow the associated plant. Right-clicking picks up the garden instead, so it can be moved elsewhere. Both Gardens and their plant drops can be automatically gathered with a Forester's Backpack.

Spread

A steep hillside of stone and grass blocks, sparse acacia and oak trees. Two groups of white flower plants on either side and a large group of green stalk plants cascade down the slope.
Steep slopes cause cascading garden spread.

If placed on suitable blocks with clear area nearby, gardens will spread like vanilla mushrooms, albeit at a very slow rate. Most can exist on dirt, grass, farmland (inc. modded variants), or podzol blocks. Desert Gardens can be placed on sand, or modded farmland such as Garden Soil or Fertilized Dirt (non-tilled). Water Gardens can only be placed on water or Garden Soil. Nether Gardens can be grown on Netherrack in addition to normal soil types. Gardens cannot be placed in IC2 Crop(sticks) nor accelerated with bone meal. They can be tick accelerated, such as with the Lamp of Growth, but do not work with the OpenBlocks Sprinkler.

Gardens can only spread if there are less than 4 other gardens of the same type within 4 blocks horizontally and 1 block vertically (forming a 9 block wide, 3 block tall box). Because of the vertical radius of only one block, gardens can spread more (even indefinitely) when placed on a slope or stairs.

When receiving a random tick, gardens have a 1% chance to spread to a random suitable position up to 5 blocks away in each dimension (forming a 11 block wide and tall box), preferring positions that are closer to the garden and on the same height. Positions can only be selected if they are within 5 steps of the garden, where each step goes up to one block away on each axis and ends on a position that a garden could grow on. If the selected position is empty and has a suitable block below it, the garden will spread to it, otherwise nothing happens.
