Gardening Mama (Japanese: ガーデニングママ, Hepburn: Gādeningu Mama) (stylized as gardening mama) is a gardening simulation-styled minigame compilation video game for the Nintendo DS, and it was later ported to iOS in 2010. It is a spin-off from the Cooking Mama series.[1]

The gameplay is similar to that of Cooking Mama, with players using the stylus to plant bulbs, dig trenches and water plants.[2] Players can also make items such as jack-o-lanterns and jams from their fruits and vegetables, and players can trade their produce with others.[3]

A sequel to Gardening Mama, Gardening Mama 2: Forest Friends, was released for the 3DS in September 2013.
