It's Spring time in Bushwhackia! Find seeds in bushes and use them to grow flowers and trees in the Commons! Decorate your garden with your plants and then submit to the judgement of the garden judges! They'll give you tokens which you can use to buy unique customization and house items from the event! This year's event also includes some new quest lines -- look for those to unlock over the course of the event -- and of course our world famous Gorgeous Garden Photo Contest, which will start in the next couple of days. Stay tuned!
There are five expert judges that have sailed to the Commons from all over Bushwhackia to review the floral artistry you have crafted! Build up your garden and try to impress them!
You need to impress the first judge in order to get the second to look at your garden, and so on. Impressing a judge just means getting at least one Spring Token () from him. Judges reset every 20 hours.
Judges only care about how many Spring Points () you have. If you have enough Spring Points, they will wander around an empty garden, commenting about how wonderful and interesting it is, before awarding you your Spring Tokens. Here is a table giving the minimum number of Spring Points needed to get a number of Spring Tokens from a judge:
Tokens Awarded

So, at 200 Spring Points you will be rewarded 5 from Judge 1, 4 from Judge 2, 2 from Judge 3, and 1 from Judge 4 and Judge 5 unlocks but gives no points. Judge 5 gives 1 at 400 Spring Points. You need 2000 Spring Points to get an A+ from the final critic (and 5 from all five judges).
