As we approach the release of Gardener, it's time to unveil the two main characters behind our story and its purpose. Without further ado...

Meet Kodama and Yamabiko - your gardening guides on an adventure around the world to find elusive plants descended from The Great Tree, in a quest to revive the long-forgotten species.

Using power of the Master Gardener to recreate genetic traits from any encountered plant, with the help of the joyful Kodama, wise Yamabiko, agroecology techniques, and modern gardening tools, you will restore balance to abandoned orchards, famous parks, and secret gardens. Your efforts will sustain environments where the rarest native plants can grow, allowing you to collect the genes inherited from their once-great ancestor and recreate the lost Great Tree, part by part, one reclaimed gene at a time.

The gardening adventure will soon begin. Will you be The Master Gardener that Kodama and Yamabiko are searching for?

Until then, enjoy our little Kodama and Yamabiko themed wallpapers, and see you soon in update 0.2!
