Version 1.2
Garden Visitors
Leave a treat in the little dish by your garden gate, and an animal comes for it while you're out and waits by the dish until you come home.
The dish by your gate
Every cottage garden now has a little dish on the lawn just inside the gate. Tap it to put out a treat: birdseed from Martha's Flowers, kibble from Sadie's Pet Shop, an apple, or any fish you've caught. An hour or a few later an animal comes for it, and it waits by the dish until you're home, however long you're away. Your very first treat brings someone within a few minutes.
Fourteen visitors
Robins, squirrels, blue jays, hedgehogs, foxes, herons and wild rabbits come by, with a raccoon on the odd night, a rare otter, and Sadie's Kipper and Clementine dropping in. Each has its favorite treats and keeps its own hours. A wild turkey comes at Thanksgiving, a snow hare at Christmas for Martha's carrots, and a black cat at Halloween.
Say hello
Tap your visitor to say hello. It leaves a small gift, such as seeds, a shell or a few coins, and heads off. Each new animal goes on the Garden visitors page of your collection book, and Beatrice gives you coins as the page fills. The first of each kind anyone in your village sees goes in the village scrapbook. Once you've met Sadie, she'll ask you to give it a try.
