Farmville on Facebook: Flowers, Gardens, and Shed Guide & Tips

Farmville isn't just for planting vegetables and grains! Flowers are available as crops in Farmville, giving you the option of turning your farm into a beautiful garden. Here is everything you need to know about planting flowers in Facebook's Farmville.

Farmville on Facebook: What is the garden shed?
Garden sheds are sold for 30,000 coins but you must have 10 neighbors to be able to purchase. You can get around this neighbor requirement by purchasing the shed for 30 Farmville cash. You can only buy one garden shed for your farm.

Your shed can hold up to 30 "perfect bunches" of flowers. These "perfect bunches" appear randomly when you harvest any of the flower crops (sunflowers, daffodils, lilies, pink roses, red tulips, and so on). To look inside the garden shed, click on the shed and select "look inside." Inside the shed, you will see all of your perfect flower bouquets and have the option to share the bouquet with your friends or place the bouquet on your farm by selecting "use."

Farmville on Facebook: Perfect Flower Bunches
Perfect flower bunches can be placed anywhere on your farm as a decoration. Perfect flower bunches stay alive for 14 days after planting. After 14 days, the flowers become "droopy" and you can remove them by clicking "sell." You will not receive any coins for selling droopy bunches of flowers (hey, that's reasonable! Who would want droopy flowers? I sure wouldn't!).

Farmville on Facebook: Earning the "Pretty Garden" Ribbon
The "Pretty Garden" ribbon is awarded when you place flower bunches on your farm. There are two ways to find and place flower bunches in your farm: By purchasing the garden shed and placing your own bunches or you can watch your Facebook feed to grab your friends' flower bunches.

Planting your own flowers and purchasing the garden shed is the fastest way to earn this ribbon, as you won't need to wait for your friends to post their perfect flower bunches on their feed.
Once you have the garden shed, any further "perfect bunches" harvested will automatically be placed in your shed. To place your flowers on your farm, open the shed, select the flowers, and place on your farm.

Here's what you'll need to do to earn each Farmville Pretty Garden ribbon:
