Holly, a fairy in training, absentmindedly makes a wish, to have a beautiful garden, and is assigned to a gruff man named Jack whose gardens need lots of tender loving care. Truthfully, the gardens need a complete overhaul and this is where you come in. You must assist 
Holly renovate the destroyed landscapes into beautiful flower and statue gardens in this active sim Mac play Plantasia.
The tutorial on this game is very good, and you can pick up the play easily. Click on an area to grow flowers, a shovel will magically appear and will prepare the ground for planting. Click again on that spot and plant seeds. When the flowers bloom, click on the mature plant to harvest. This will garner you points or mana so you can purchase more equipment and supplies. The mana will glow to let you know there’s something new available. Click on the spells button to see what you can purchase. With enough mana, you can restore the broken statues. The statue button at the bottom right of the screen will start to glow when you have enough points to fix the art piece to its original glory.
The play starts out easy but with each chapter (level) of the story brings more obstacles to make your game a little more interesting. First you may run into rocky soil, and will take your magical shovel a little longer to dig or pests will show up to your garden and you must spray them to get rid of them.
Plantasia is similar to Mac game Garden Dreams but is easier to play since you do not have to click on the watering can and click on the plant to provide liquids to the flower. Any time there are less steps to a game is fine with me. You can move faster this way. In Plantasia all you need to do is click on a wilting plant and it will magically use the watering can to help the flower survive. The only block is if you have just one watering can you can water only one plant at a time so buying extra equipment will speed your play immensely.
There are 2 modes of play in Plantasia. If Story is not your thing, maybe Garden Challenge is for you. In challenge you grow the flowers just like in Holly’s story, but you can use the mana to get extra time. However, when the timer (at the bottom) runs out, your challenge is over.
The artwork is simple but pleasant and the play in this sim game is enjoyable. If you like magic stories and you are a fan of this type of sim play, try Plantasia for an entertaining afternoon or evening.
