Pocket Gardens - blogged again!

We're delighted to report that Pocket Gardens have been featured in several more excellent Second Life blogs.

• The Chicken Diaries has a wonderful post that describes all of our designs.

• Shangreloo featured our Mood: Blue garden.

• Chic Aeon of Chic at Phil's Place wrote up both Mood: Blue and our latest subscription gift, Flowers: Despite and Still.

• Cait's Finds was also kind enough to feature Mood: Blue.

• And finally, here is Lolita Oleander's post about Castalia and Flowers: Despite and Still.

We're grateful to all of these bloggers for taking the time to investigate our prefab landscaping and write about it. Thanks for noticing Pocket Gardens, and enjoy!

Small Gardens @ Pocket Gardens

Now Pocket Gardens has two 3x3 gardens available at less than 14 prims a piece.



Pocket Gardens Mood: Blue, which Subscribe-o-matic members have already received as our gift, is now available for sale at both shop locations and on XstreetSL for just L$125. Coming in at a svelte 11 prims, Mood: Blue includes our ground-texture menu and two original sit poses.



Pocket Gardens - Flowers: Despite and Still is the vanguard model in our upcoming product line. Grungy and urban in feel, this model highlights the tenacity of life with flowers growing in unlikely surroundings. The garden, which is 14 prims, includes our ground-texture menu and three original sit poses nestled among the rusty barrels and old tire - and, if you look carefully, you might find a little critter hiding down there as well.

Flowers: Despite and Still is available FREE for a limited time in the Pocket Gardens subscribe-o-matic. Don't miss it - head over to either of our shop locations (links at the top right of this blog) and sign up.

Pocket Gardens preview - Flowers: Despite and Still

Coming soon from Pocket Gardens, a new prefab landscaping design with a grungy, urban feel.



Have you ever seen those tenacious flowers and grasses that poke their heads through cracks in concrete? Flowers: Despite and Still captures the enduring spirit of those flowers, unlikely splashes of color in a debris-strewn landscape.

Flowers: Despite and Still will be available soon in three sizes. Each size will feature several original sit poses and customizable ground textures and color themes. Look for the tiny rat who hides between the old tire and the overturned rusty barrel. And if you are on our Subscribe-o-matic list, expect a special preview version of the new garden very soon.

• A pair of original sit poses - sit on the log for the log sit, or sit anywhere else in the garden to access the ground sit.

• Soothing waterfall sounds

• Pleasant birdsong and environmental sound that changes with the time of the the SL day. These can be toggled on and off by touching the edge of the pool (small and medium) or by touching the bird (large).

• Optional base prim to showcase your Pocket Gardens Castalia prefab garden with a handsome border (resizable for small; for medium and large, the base prim is a mega prim and therefore cannot be resized).

The medium and large Castalia gardens also include:

• A book with an original sit animation

Finally, the large Castalia garden includes additional features:

• Menu-driven customizable lamppost. Touch the globe of the lamp to activate the menu, and choose globe prim color, light color, light intensity, or turn the light off or on.

• An additional original sit animation - right-click on the small rock near the left side of the waterfall to use it.

Pocket Gardens update

Hey folks - two bits of Pocket Gardens news for you today!

• We've improved the sound-control script and updated vendor copies of all Pocket Gardens - Thalia prefab gardens with the new script. The new script is more reliable about turning off the birdsong when you click the bird. If you bought any size Thalia prefab garden before 20 October 2009, and you would like a replacement garden, IM Carter Denja and we'll send you one. All gardens sold after 20 October 2009 have the improved script.
  

• Our next design, Pocket Gardens - Castalia, will be ready for release very soon! Stay tuned for more news about Castalia and other designs already in the works.
