Read the project terms before choosing a file

Gardendless is described by its team as a free, non-commercial fan project. Use project-controlled pages, do not pay a third party for a repack, and do not treat a security prompt as a safety guarantee.

Match the build to the machine.

Clean Windows update route

  1. Return to the main menu and export the current player profile.
  2. Store that export outside the game folder and add the release and date to its filename.
  3. Open the project download page and compare its live version with this page.
  4. Extract the new archive into a new versioned folder instead of merging it over an older build.
  5. Launch, inspect progress, complete a short level, close, and relaunch.
  6. Keep the prior working folder until the new build creates a fresh export.

Browser save reminder

Web progress can depend on browser origin and site storage. Use the player-profile Export control before clearing site data, changing hostnames, replacing a local Docker container, or moving to another device.

The project download page warns that differently packaged website and Chinese netdisk versions may not inherit archives automatically. Treat a package change as a migration.

Download questions

Is this the official Gardendless website?

No. This is an independent guide. The yellow button opens the creator project at pvzge.com.

Is there an Android or iOS download?

The project FAQ says there is no Android or iOS port. Avoid APK or IPA pages claiming to be this release.

Does macOS support Intel processors?

The current project download text states Apple Silicon arm64 only and macOS 11.0 or later.

Why is the GitHub release marked prerelease?

That is the status applied by the project to 0.12.1. It signals active development, not a separate file hosted here.
