Create your own garden

Creator Garden is a free, forkable homestead you can make your own. Pick a map style, plant plots, set out tip jars, and invite a cat or a dog. Nothing here takes a payment, and the Finch Garden demo stays just a tap away.

Map modes

Three ways to lay out a homestead

Every garden starts with a map. Choose the one that feels like home, then drop plots and jars on top.

🛰️ Yard / satellite Overlay tiles on a traced picture of a real yard or apartment that you supply. No street address is required.

🌿 Generic grid A cozy metaphorical homestead — the default, like the Finch Garden demo.

📌 Regional pins A map of favorite farms and gardens around a creator’s area, as pins rather than a street survey.

Then add garden beds, a coffee nook, a gym or yoga corner, a kitchen patch, a shelter sign, and the pets who live there. Tip jars sit on those plots. Tips are thank-yous; they never unlock content on their own.

A demo, and a real yard

🌻 Finch Garden The fictional demo homestead. Wander the grid, greet the cat and dog, and see how seeds, badges, and placeholder unlocks work. 🪶 Andrew's Aviary Garden A family-friendly tip garden for Andrew Ray’s riverside aviary in Millwood — Long Green, the Tree House, Blondie’s flock, Rocky, and Scissors.

Start your garden

A playful builder

Name the garden, flip plots and jars on or off, and watch the mini grid update. Then export a starter garden.config.js and follow the fork steps. This is a mock — it does not publish a live site or send a payment.

Fork it, or steal the idea

Creator Garden is licensed under the MIT License. You can copy it, re-skin it, and run your own garden. Finch Garden is only a fictional demo. Adult work, if a creator has any, still belongs behind a separate 18+ link-out — this template never hosts it.

How to start a fork

Copy the template files (or, when a public repo is published, fork it on GitHub).
Drop in your exported garden.config.js, or edit the one in the folder.
Add your own Instagram-safe notes and photos. Keep seeds earn-only. Keep tip buttons as placeholders until a processor can accept the real page.
Deploy the folder to any static host — Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, or GitHub Pages. The README has the full checklist.
