Caring for flowers
These are possible outcomes, not guaranteed daily results. Water wilted flowers and avoid running through flower beds.
Perfect-town requirements
For a perfect town, balance trees and flowers across the map, remove weeds and rubbish, and consult Town Hall's environmental feedback. The rating uses invisible 16×16-tile acres. A practical starting layout is roughly 12–15 trees and at least three flowers per acre, adjusted for your town's geography. Maintain the perfect rating for 15 days to obtain the golden watering can.
