The garden is a structure that allows the player to grow certain plants and mushroom. It was added in update v0.01 of The Forest.

Gameplay

While building the player can freely choose how large the garden should be. Very large gardens require an equally large flat surface, of which there are not too many to be found on the peninsula.
Building on a custom foundation or custom floor can make it easier to build a larger garden, though this will cost many more logs.

To begin, the player must collect seeds first, which are obtained by collecting blueberries, aloe, and coneflowers. The seed type can be switched with "R" and planted with "C".

A garden can be used endlessly, but blueberry bushes must be cut first or they'll block the spot they're on. Since the empty bushes don't wither away they could also be used as decoration.
Larger gardens can also grow more plants at once, but planting too much should be avoided, since the fully grown plants wither away after a certain amount of time.

Growing Blueberries

• When collecting blueberries, there is a chance that the player will also get blueberry seeds. This includes blueberries collected from bushes grown in gardens.
• Blueberries can only be planted in gardens. They will not fit in the wall planter.
• The inventory can hold 30 blueberries at once. They do not spoil.
• The inventory can hold 30 blueberry seeds at once.

Blueberry growing process measured in game days:

• 

  Day 0 - Seed planted in the ground, appearing as a little dirt mound. All plants look like this when first planted.

• 

  Day 1 - Plant will appear, but with no berries.

• 

  Day 2 - Plant will grow to a small size and have berries, but the yield will be low.

• 

  Day 3 - Plant will grow to a moderate size. If picked in this stage, the yield will be 3 berries.

• 

  Day 4 - Plant will be fully grown. This is the best stage to pick. The yield will be 9 Berries.

Growing Aloe Vera

• The inventory can hold 10 aloe at once.
• The inventory can hold 30 aloe seeds at once.
• Growing Aloe is a great way to make herbal medicine, herbal medicine+, and energy mix+. The inventory can hold 5 of each type. Making a maximum of all three will costs 15 aloe.
• Aloe is currently the only way to heal infection and food poisoning, making aloe one of the most sought after items in the game.
• Aloe seeds can be planted in the wall planter along with coneflower seeds.

Growing Coneflower

• The inventory can hold an unlimited amount of coneflower seeds.
• Growing coneflowers is a great way to make energy mix and energy mix+. The inventory can carry 5 of each type. This will cost 10 coneflower to make a max of both.
• Coneflower is quite common in the game, it is probably the least beneficial plant to place in a garden though it still has large benefits.
• Coneflower seeds can be planted in the Wall planter along with Aloe seeds.
• Coneflower grows rather quickly

Growing Mushrooms

It is possible to grow all types of mushrooms, which include:

Amanita Mushroom
Chanterelle Mushroom
Deer Mushroom
Jack Mushroom
Liberty Cap Mushroom
Puff Mushroom
To grow mushrooms, the garden must be built within the cave system. Mushrooms don't work the same as other plants when growing. Instead of yielding more mushrooms that are planted, they duplicate next to each other. If you fill the garden with mushrooms, they won't be able to duplicate. Ensure there is space free for the mushrooms to grow.

To build a garden inside a cave, you will need to bring logs into the cave. This can be done by simple holding the logs, and walking inside the cave while holding them. This does not work for drop down caves.
