"They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." - Jeremiah 17:8

Understanding Your Garden
Plant Growth
Each plant grows through several stages over time:
- Seed: Just planted, not yet visible
- Sprout: First signs of growth
- Intermediate stage: Plant is developing
- Mature plant: Fully grown with full scripture revealed
Tip: Different plants grow at different rates. Olive trees take longer to grow than lilies, reflecting their biblical significance.
Scripture Reflection
Each plant is associated with specific Bible verses. As your plant grows, its full scripture will be revealed. Click on mature plants in your garden to meditate on their verses.
"He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers." - Psalm 1:3
Daily Devotionals
Each day when you visit Sacred Garden, you'll find a new devotional scripture at the top of your garden. These change daily to provide fresh spiritual nourishment.
Tip: Make visiting your Sacred Garden part of your daily prayer routine. The plants continue growing even when you're not logged in!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get more NFT seeds?
New seeds can be obtained through special events, by sharing your garden with friends, or occasionally as gifts from the developers. Some may also be available for purchase, with proceeds going to Christian charities.
Can I move plants between plots?
Currently, plants cannot be moved once planted. You would need to harvest the plant (which returns it to your inventory) and then replant it in a new location.
What happens if I disconnect my wallet?
Your garden progress is saved on the blockchain, so you can reconnect your wallet later to access your garden. However, you won't be able to interact with your garden while disconnected.
Is there a mobile version?
Yes! Sacred Garden works on mobile devices through your wallet's browser (like MetaMask mobile). The interface adapts to smaller screens.
