All residents of There.com are invited to participate in the Spring Garden Contest to showcase their gardening skills. Members who enter the contest will design, build and create a virtual garden experience for the Thereian community to explore. Gardeners are welcome to use their imagination and creativity to plant all types of gardens. Build your garden from scratch or work on adding the final touches to an existing garden. Explore the garden Auctions to search for this season’s newest garden designs and a nursery of virtual flowers, plants, shrubs, trees and more to plant with.

Design a vibrant flower garden with an assortment of colorful blooms such as roses, tulips, daisies and sunflowers. Include decorative elements like garden benches, bird baths and statues to add ambiance.

Transform your virtual space into a lush jungle paradise with towering palm trees, dense foliage and exotic flowers. Integrate water features like waterfalls, ponds and lily pads. Populate the jungle with wildlife like monkeys, parrots and butterflies to bring the virtual environment to life.

Construct a tranquil rock garden featuring a variety of ornamental rocks and boulders. Introduce elements like Japanese lanterns, bamboo or bonsai trees for a Zen like aesthetic.
