What are helpers and what do they do?
As players advance through the game, helpers become available. Helpers are characters that can assist with some of the jobs that keeping a garden entails. Players may have up to five helpers active in the garden at once. For example, one character, Weedling, weeds the garden, allowing players to focus on other tasks. Others include Sprinkling, Watchling, Gatherling and Diggerling. These helpers must be paid in order to obtain their services, but this payment is one-time rather than recurring. Using Helpers is optional, but two helpers, Leafos and Seedos, are free of charge and frequently make appearances throughout the game. Leafos helps by providing some basic tools and explanations on how to use them. She also gives advice near the beginning of the game, as well as keeping the player advised of important events. Seedos, a helper who specializes in seeds, frequently visits the garden and, once per visit, will provide a free seed when engaged in conversation.
