Introduction:
Welcome to Botany Manor, a stately home in 19th century England. You play as inhabitant Arabella Greene, a retired botanist. Explore your house and gardens, filled with research, to figure out the ideal habitat of forgotten flora. Grow each plant to discover the mysterious qualities they hold!

Abbreviated Walkthrough:
Botany Manor follows a simple structure broken into chapters, which progressively open up more of the manor to be explored and introduced progressively more complex puzzles. You can continue the game after completing it to mop up anything you miss. So depending on your choice, you can either play the game normally, then come back for mop up or follow this guide and the linked video to finish the game as efficiently as possible. Either way, all of the plants are required for story progression, so you should unlock all of the growing plant related achievements.

Mop-Up:
This will mostly consist of miscellaneous achievements, like Boom (20G), Help? (20G), or Take A Nap (20G). Additionally, if you didn't focus on the collectible ducks or Arabella's paintings, you'll want to backtrack to unlock Quack Quack Quack Quack! (60G) and Art Lover (20G). The entire manor is still accessible after completing the game, so you can't miss out on anything.

Conclusion:
Botany Manor is a gorgeous puzzle experience with lots of charm. A strong recommendation for puzzle game enthusiasts and any plant lovers, as it melds the two together so seemlessly. And it even comes packaged with a fast, but equally enjoyable, achievement list!
