Version History: V0001
--------------------------------------------------------------
Current Version = 2.82
(In order from 1st version to current)
V 0.1----11/08/05----Started writing the guide. (Version was REJECTED)
V 0.5----11/15/05----My first version was rejected. I now added "What you can do
with", "Why make this", "Plant Reappearance Times" and "What all the Wild Plants
look like" sections. (Version was REJECTED)
V 0.7----11/16/05----Last version rejected. I added a vocabulary note and
changed around my E-mail address to prevent spam. NEW SECTIONS: "What you can
contribute" and "Mushrooms". (Version was REJECTED)
V 1.0----01/03/06----I kind of gave up on getting this guide onto GameFAQs, but
after a vacation, I got some new ideas. I added an "In-Game Plant Descriptions"
section, a "Hybridization with Wild Plants" section, and a "Wild Plant Gift
Ideas" Section. I also updated the quick search system and added in a few more
notes. (Version was finally ACCEPTED!)
V 1.01----01/04/06----The guide has been accepted! Neoseeker is now allowed to
host my Guide. A few minor changes to the Legal Information Section.
V 1.1----01/13/06----Friday the 13th update! I added a little 'Wild Plants and
your Child' note in the "What you can do with the wild plants" section, added a
new credit, and changed a little info on my E-mail address. Oh, and put Bracken
into the Mushrooms section.
V 1.2----02/13/06----Monday the 13th update! I have now completely re-vamped the
Quick Search system. Added a "Possible Future Updates" section, changed a little
wording around here and there, added a "My Other Guides" section, and added a
"The End" section, to have a better conclusion to the guide. I hope to add a
'Cooking With Wild Plants' section soon, and I'm planning on making a separate
'Girl's Wild Plant Guide' for HM:AnWL.
V 1.3----02/14/06----There is now an all new "Cooking with Wild Plants" Section.
I changed around a few sentences, fixed a few typos, and added a new Credit. I
changed an old credit because I accidentally misspelled their name. I also
dedicated the guide to a good friend of mine, and added a tiny copyright line.
V 1.31----02/15/06----www.supercheats.com is now allowed to host my guide.
V 1.4----02/17/06----I just spell-checked the entire guide. I fixed all of the
typos and misspelled words. I also changed some wording and capitalized a few
things too.
V 1.5----02/25/06----New question in the FAQ section! I changed a few more words
around, and tried to make some things easier to read. I don't expect too many
more updates beyond this point, but I hope to release a HM:AnWL version of this
guide soon!
V 1.51----02/27/06----There is now an Another Wonderful Life (HM:AnWL) version
of this guide.
V 1.6----03/12/06----I finally replaced the awful picture of a Royal Fern with
something new that I've been working on, and added a new credit.
V 1.7----03/20/06----I've renamed the "Wild Plant Gift Ideas" section to "Wild
Plants as Gifts". I've also changed some of the wording, and I added Mukumuku to
the list. ENJOY!
V 1.8----04/09/06----Lots of help from contributors made this update possible.
Thank you Panzer for some missing info, thank you Katy8 for a new question in
the FAQ section, and thank you Adam Heslop for confirming a growth spot of
Bracken.
V 1.81----07/04/06----Fixed a somewhat large typo thanks to the contributor
"Great Wall". I'm also currently typing a HM:FoMT guide.
V 1.9----07/19/06----A few minor changes, a new plant regrowth location, a few
fixed typos and a few things added, and most of it is thanks to a contributor by
the name CC. They seemed to read everything very closely, and were able to
point out a bunch of stuff. Also, thanks to everyone who has read the guide and
contributed, it's all much appreciated!
V 1.91----07/25/06----Just finished an HM:FoMT Wild Plant Guide, so I adjusted a
few things in this guide accordingly.
V 2.0----02/25/07---- I got a whole bunch of random information from
contributors, so I had to add it in. A few minor changes to legal info, since
it's now the year 2007.
V 2.01----04/17/07----I've released a HM:mFoMT guide now, so a few things were
adjusted accordingly.
V 2.1----01/12/09----It has nearly been 2 years (635 days to be exact) since the
last update. I would have forgotten about these guides if it wasn't for the 30
or so e-mails I received in the time since the last update. I finally decided to
come back and update all of the information I've received. There are quite a few
new things! I would say I'm done with this guide, but knowing you guys, I'll get
some new stuff to update this guide with soon enough. I just looked through it
and saw lots of things that could use updating too. I might just come back one
day and rework this guide, AGAIN!
V 2.2----01/31/09----A big update! It's probably the biggest update since
version 1.1! I have added 3 whole new sections, "Vocabulary", "Flowers" and
"Other Wild Forage". I also completely revamped the "Wild Plants as Gifts"
section, as well as alphabetized large parts of this guide. I went through the
whole guide and rewrote numerous sections to be shorter or easier to understand.
I topped it all off with ANOTHER spell-checking of the guide.
V 2.3----02/21/09----This was originally going to be an update to fix a small
mistake, but I alphabetized a few more sections, reorganized the whole layout of
the guide, combined the old seasons and prices sections into a single section,
made the "Wild Plants and your Child" note into its own section, fixed up
various layouts, and updated the e-mail, legal information, what you can
contribute, version history, and possible future updates sections.
V 2.4----04/17/09----The cooking section is all new. On top of adapting lots of
information about crops and rare crops from Supermario1024's guide (as
ingredients for recipes), I completely changed the layout to make it much easier
to read and use the recipes.
V 2.45----08/10/09----A tiny update. I've changed the gift section a little,
changed regrowth to simply growth, updated the vocab section, and updated the
"My Other Guides" section because I miraculously wrote another guide. Also, a
Growth location of sorrel was confirmed.
v 2.5----09/08/09----The other day, I picked this game up again. I decided to
play through at least the whole first year and collect a bunch of data. I've
finally confirmed ALL of the plant growth times, and I've created some charts
to show you what you can find on each day of the year. I fixed a few growth
locations, and I've given the whole guide ANOTHER spell check.
v 2.51----01/14/10----2010 update! I updated the legal info section and made a
few minor changes to the layout of the guide. The FAQ section has a new look.
v 2.52----03/19/11----2011 update! It's been over a year since this was updated,
and I'm only changing the copyright to 2011 and adding a tiny note about how my
guides have collectively amassed over 100,000 views! Wow!
v 2.6----07/12/12----2012 update! I got an e-mail about a missing royal fern
location, so I've added that in. I've also removed the Art Gallery section, as I
decided it was a complete waste of space. I made changes to the vocabulary,
e-mail information, and legal information sections to shorten them. The guide is
in dire need of a complete rewrite though. One day, I may have to get on that.
v 2.61----07/14/12----Someone sent in the last missing growth location for Royal
Fern! It has now been added to the guide.
v 2.62----07/16/12----Another tiny fix. Added the missing growth location for
Hackberry.
v 2.65----08/23/12----Someone pointed out that I keep talking about the "water
tower" throughout my guide, when in fact it's actually Kassey and Patrick's
house. I've changed that. I also revamped the version history section, cutting
it down to take up less space and changing the way I numbered the versions.
v 2.66----08/29/12----Finally confirmed that Bracken is in fact a mushroom.
v 2.7----09/08/12----Rewrote most sections of this guide. It should now be
clearer and more concise, and have less useless rambling.
v 2.8----01/15/13----My first update of 2013. I have now added the villagers
favorite wild plant dishes to the gift section, as well as reorganized the
cooking section by Type of dish, Price, and Alphabetical order. Enjoy!
v 2.81----06/22/14----Minor formatting changes and an update of the copyright.
(Current)
v 2.82----01/07/15----Update of the copyright.
Hey everyone! This is my very first guide. It's changed a lot since I
initially released it, because after releasing and constantly updating another
four guides beyond this one, I learned a lot about how to make a guide and
present information. When I first discovered GameFAQs, I wanted to write a
guide, and the main game I was playing at the time was Harvest Moon. I decided
to write one about the wild plants of Forget-Me-Not Valley, because there was
no guide dedicated to them, and wild plants are one of my favorite aspects of
Harvest Moon games.
My guide uses a few abbreviations and some slang, so I've included this
short section to help clear up what those things mean.
:) = A smiley face
:D = A wide-mouthed smiley face
AWL = A Wonderful Life (the title of the boy's GC HM game)

---------------------------------
Why Make This Guide W0004
----------------------------------
I wrote this guide to tell people all about the different uses of the
wild plants in the game. Most people will just sell them, and maybe use some of
the flowers as gifts, but there is a lot more that they can be used for! Also,
if I had known how useful some of the wild plants would later become, I wouldn't
have sold them all in my early days of playing the game.
----------------------------------
What You Can Contribute H0005
----------------------------------
You guys can help make this guide better! Missing or misleading
information, questions, typos, and even comments are all good reasons to send me
an e-mail! (I will credit you!)
Here are some things you can help me out with:
-Can someone double check my cooking and gift sections and verify the info?
----------------------------------
Possible Future Updates F0006
----------------------------------
This is where I list out all of my ideas for future updates to this
guide. It has grown quite small over the years, but that might be a good thing
:). If you have any other suggestions, feel free to e-mail them to me!
Add: Plant Regrowth times to locations section

What You Can Do With Wild Plants W0008
___________________________________________________________
The wild plants of Forget-Me-Not Valley are useful for many things. I
discuss their different uses in detail in the rest of the guide, but here is a
general overview of their uses.
By showing your child your foraged mushrooms, wild plants, and flowers,
you can influence them into becoming a farmer. Showing them things like watering
cans, seeds, and hoes also encourages them to become a farmer. If they grow up
into a farmer, they will take over your farm when you die.
The Most Useful Wild Plants (IMO) W0010
___________________________________________________________
==============================
The Top 5 Most Useful Plants:
==============================
1) Upseed
2) Happy Lamp
3) Gemsoil
4) Mugwort
5) Matsutake
Upseeds, Happy Lamps, and Gemsoils are easily the more useful wild
plants, because they can be hybridized with your crops to improve their quality.
Upseeds improve your seeds (bringing them to S rank), Happy Lamps allow your
crop to grow in any season, and Gemsoils allow your crop to grow in all types of
soil regardless of fertility.
Mugworts are useful because they are one of the easiest resources to
gather early in the game, providing both food and money. On top of being useful
in a handful of recipes, I often used them to feed my dog.
Finally, I included Matsutakes on this list because, although they are
not as numerous, they are worth 100g each (four times that of the nearest
competitors). They are also useable as food, and can be used in any recipes
calling for a mushroom!
Wild Plants as Gifts G0011
___________________________________________________________
This section lists out all of the villagers that like wild plants, as
well as the wild plants that they like. Only flowers are useable as gifts (on
that note, I would save your Gemsoils, Happy Lamps, and Upseeds for
hybridization).
I have also added any cooked dishes that use wild plants to the list.
People will accept up to 3 gifts a day! (Unless otherwise noted)
Hybridization with Wild Plants W0012
______________________________________________________________
In Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, you can hybrid your crops together.
However, there are a few wild plants that you can hybridize with your crops in
order to upgrade them. The first thing you'll need to do is get and befriend
Tartan, which can be somewhat complicated, so you should go check out one of the
guides dedicated to Hybridization or Tartan if you're having trouble getting
him.
Only three specific flowers can be used to hybrid with your crops, and
each type of flower has a very specific effect. The chart below details which
flowers can be used and their effects.
__________________________________________________________________
|Plant |Effect when hybridized with crop |
|------------+-----------------------------------------------------|
|Gemsoil |The seed will be able to grow in any soil fertility. |
| | |
|------------+-----------------------------------------------------|
|Happy Lamp |The seed will be able to grow during any season. |
| | |
|------------+-----------------------------------------------------|
|Upseed |The seed will become an 'S' (Superior) quality seed |
| | |
|____________|_____________________________________________________|
Wild Plant Seasons And Prices W0013
____________________________________________________________
Each season except for Fall grows two species of flowers and one species
of edible plant. Fall has two species of flowers and four edible plants (all
four of which are mushrooms).
All wild plants can only be sold through Van, and their prices cannot be
haggled.
===================
Seasons and Prices:
===================
Plant Growth Times G0014
___________________________________________________________
When you harvest a wild plant, it will take a certain amount of days to
grow back. Some grow back daily, while others may take a few days. Below is a
list of the amount of times it takes wild plants to grow back.
Note: 1 day means that the plant will grow back daily. If it says 4
days, that means the plant will grow back on that 4th day.
-------------------------------
Plant Days
-------------------------------
Amorous: 2 days
Bracken: 2 days
Gemsoil: 4 days
Goddess drop: 2 days
Hackberry: 1 day
Happy Lamp: 4 days
Matsutake: 3 days
Mist Moon: 2 days
Mugwort: 1 day
Royal Fern: 1 day
Sorrel: 3 days
Toy Flower: 2 days
Trick Blue: 2 days
Trumpet: 2 days
Upseed: 2 days
If you collect all the wild plants growing daily, the below chart shows
what you should expect to find growing on every day of the first year. This was
only tested for the very first year, so I'm not sure if this pattern is the same
for every year, but it should be somewhat similar.
***Fall gets some slightly weird inconsistencies in the growth data. Has anyone
else had these weird inconsistencies?***
An "*" means there are weird inconsistencies in the growth data. There
are only three of these, and all of them occur in Fall.
Selling every wild plant you pick up can make you a decent profit, but
many of the flowers I would suggest keeping to use as gifts or for hybridizing.
Amorous: 95 X 10 G = 950 G
+
Bracken: 30 X 15 G = 450 G
+
Gemsoil: 30 X 20 G = 600 G
+
Goddess drop: 90 X 15 G = 1350 G
+
Hackberry: 66 X 20 G = 1320 G
+
Happy Lamp: 30 X 15 G = 450 G
+
Matsutake: 8 X 100G = 800 G
+
Mist Moon: 100 X 10 G = 1000 G
+
Mugwort: 60 X 15 G = 900 G
+
Royal Fern: 80 X 15 G = 1200 G
+
Sorrel: 28 X 20 G = 560 G
+
Toy Flower: 90 X 10 G = 900 G
+
Trick Blue: 83 X 10 G = 830 G
+
Trumpet: 14 X 25 G = 350 G
+
Upseed: 10 X 25 G = 250 G
____________________________________________
= 11910 G
Yup, selling 1 year's worth of wild plants can make you nearly 12,000 G!
That looks tempting, but I would suggest you save many of your flowers
(especially your hybridable ones).
-Next to your house, behind the least fertile patch of soil.
-In between fertile soil patch and the locked shed.
-Next to the hillside by Cody's trailer.
-Next to Kassey and Patrick's house (the water tower).
-On the left side of the courtyard of Romana's villa (when facing the house).
-Next to Vesta's farm, by the path leading out of town (the GBA connection path)
-On the left at the start of the path leading up to Carter's dig site.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Royal Fern:
-In between fertile soil patch and the locked shed.
-Next to the very fertile field.
-Next to the hillside by Cody's trailer.

Sorrel:
-Around the locked shed.
-Next to the very fertile field.
-Next to the hillside by Cody's trailer.
-Next to Kassey and Patrick's house (the water tower).
-On the right side of the courtyard of Romana's villa (when facing the house).

-Next to Kassey and Patrick's house (the water tower).
-In the back right corner of Romana's property.
-Next to Vesta's farm, by the path leading out of town (the GBA connection path)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hackberry:
-In between the chicken coop and the fertile field.
-To the right of the very fertile field.
-To the far right of the very fertile field, near the tree.
-Next to a tree, on the right of the Harvest Sprites' house.
-Next to the little tool shed in the left corner of Romana's property.
-2 next to the hillside by Cody's trailer.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Matsutake:

-------------------------------------------------------------
Trumpet:
-2 of them grow next to the Harvest Sprites' house.
-One is next to Kassey and Patrick's house (the water tower).
-------------------------------------------------------------
These don't really count as edible plants, as they can't be harvested or
sold, but they can be eaten. Apparently, eating one causes one to shrink down
enough to fit through the door to the Harvest Sprites' house. If you eat both of
them in one day, you cannot enter their home for the rest of the day (not that
there are many reasons to go in there). The mushrooms grow back daily.
-One grows on the left side of the Sprites' house.
-Another grows on the right side of the Sprites' house.

-------------------------------------------------------------
-All around Turtle Swamp.
-In front of the log, between Cody's trailer and Turtle Swamp.
-Next to the hillside by Cody's trailer.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Gemsoil:
-It is the only plant to grow around Carter's dig site. It sticks close to the
river, and its yellowish color can make it hard to see in the grass. There is
also one between Carter's tent and a plank or wood, and sometimes some grow in
the bushes a little further away from the river.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Goddess Drop:
-Many grow on the next to the river before the Harvest Sprites' house.
-Right behind Vesta's farm, around the windmills.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Happy Lamp:
(looks like a red tulip)
-On the big grassy patch of land near the mouth of the river (on the same side
of the river as your own farm). (One Happy Lamp sometimes grows in the small
dense forest there, just out of your reach. It is impossible to harvest.)
-Next to the hillside by Cody's trailer.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Mist Moon:
(Don't confuse with Toy Flower. Toy flower has 5 petals, and Mist Moon has 4)
-Grows around the Harvest Sprites' Pond.
-Grows in front of Galen's house (in chapter 2 and up. In chapter 1, it's just
the big empty patch of grassy land below Vesta's farm).
------------------------------------------------------------
Toy Flower:

Upseed:
-Next to the hillside by Cody's trailer.
-On your left at the start of the road leading up to Carter's dig site.

===============================
The Strange Mushroom
===============================
Two of these weird mushrooms grow in front of the Harvest Sprites'
house,
and they grow back on a daily basis. You can only eat them, and all that
does
is supposedly shrink you down, allowing you to enter the Harvest Sprites'
home.
Alice in Wonderland reference, anyone?
*Sweet Potato + Strawberry makes Berryto1
*Strawberry + Melon makes Berryto2
Rare Crops
(ALL combinations may sometimes yield RareCrop 23/24)
(Items with a * designate that Berryto is included in the recipe. I'm not sure
which Berryto (1 or 2) is used in each of those, but it is one of the two.)
The following section has all of the in-game plant descriptions (the

This section has possible daily routes one can take to collect the wild plants.
If you find any mistakes, or plants I left out along the way, please e-mail me!
***********************************************************
In Harvest Moon, I wake up very early every day to run around the town
and collect all of the wild plants. Below, I detail the routes I take in order
to collect everything. Remember, not all of the plants will grow back every day.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Spring: (make sure to keep an eye out for any plants along the way)
Exit the house and go behind it for a Mugwort. Then, head to the small locked
shed, and from there head right. Leave the farm, and head up to the Harvest
Sprites' area. On the way, you might spot some Goddess Drops growing next to the
river. Around the pond, there might be some Toy Flowers growing. After
collecting everything, head to Cody's trailer. By the hill there, you should
find a Mugwort growing, and you should find another growing next to Kassey and
Patrick's house. Next, run up to Romana's villa. Upon entering her yard, turn
left for another Mugwort. Now, cross the bridge and head to Galen's house (in
chapter 1, this will simply be a big empty patch of land). Around it should be
some Toy Flowers. Next to the GBA connection path, you should find a Mugwort,
and if you're lucky, the windmills nearby will be surrounded by Goddess Drops.
Finally, go to the pathway leading to Carter's dig site. Next to the river
there, you should find the last wild plant of the day: a Mugwort.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Summer: (make sure to keep an eye out for any plants along the way)
Exit the house and go behind it. Then, head to the small locked shed, and keep
an eye out for a Royal Fern. From here, turn right and head up to the Harvest
Sprites' area. Around the pond, you may find some Mist Moons. Head out and down
to the river, next to Gustafa's yurt. You may find Happy Lamps growing here.
Next, head to Cody's trailer. There, by the hillside, you can find Royal Ferns
and maybe even a single Happy Lamp. From there, head to Romana's villa. In the
courtyard, turn left to find a Royal Fern. Now head to and cross the bridge. At
Galen's house (in chapter 1, this will simply be a big patch of land) you may
find some more Mist Moons. Next to the GBA connection path, you should find a
Royal Fern. Finally, go to the pathway leading to Carter's dig site. Next to the
river there, you should find a final Royal Fern.
----------------------------------------------------------
Fall: (Make sure to keep an eye out for any plants along the way. During Fall,
you'll find many Hackberries growing along my designated pathway.)
Exit the house and go behind it. From there, head to the small locked shed,
keeping an eye out for a Hackberry. Turn right and head out of your farm, up to
the Harvest Sprites' area (you should pass two more Hackberries on your farm).
On the right side of the Harvest Sprites' house, you should find a Hackberry. On
the left side, you should find two Trumpets and a Bracken. Now head down to
Turtle Swamp and check for Trick Blues in the area. A log nearby may have even
more Trick Blues growing around it. Head to Cody's trailer next, and by the
hillside there, you should find another Hackberry. At Kassey and Patrick's
house, you should find a Bracken and a Trumpet. Now head up to Romana's villa.
The back left corner should have a Hackberry, while the back right corner should
have a Bracken. Leave, and head over the bridge. Behind Vesta's farm, up
against
the hillside, you might find two Matsutakes. Finally, head all the way
up to
Carter's dig site. This place is where all the Gemsoils grow.
----------------------------------------------------------
Winter: (make sure to keep an eye out for any plants along the way)
Exit the house and head over to the small locked shed. A Sorrel should be around
it. You should also find one near the very fertile field. Next, head to Turtle
Swamp, and collect the Amorous flowers that you may find around it. Make sure
to check by the nearby log, as well. Now head over to Cody's trailer, where you
may find even MORE Amorous flowers growing. By the hillside, you may find an
Upseed and/or a Sorrel. Now head up to Kassey and Patrick's house, where you
should find a Sorrel. Go to Romana's villa and turn right, where there might
be
the last Sorrel. Finally, you may find an Upseed growing by the river on the
way up to Carter's dig site.

===========================================================
Q: How many wild plants are there all together?
A: There are a total of 15 wild plants (not counting the strange
mushroom that grows in front of the Harvest Sprites' house). 8 of the wild
plants are flowers, and 7 of them are edible plants.
===========================================================
Q: When hybridizing the Upseed, Gemsoil, or Happy Lamp with one of my
seeds, do I put the flower first or the seed first?
A: The order you put them in does not appear to matter.
===========================================================
Q: Will I be credited if you put my question into this guide?
A: Yes, if you give me the name you'd like to be credited by. I will
also remove it or not put it in if you don't want your name displayed publicly
or don't want to receive credit.
===========================================================
Q: In your guide, you have a section titled "In-Game Plant Descriptions"
and another titled "What do they look like?". What's the difference?
A: The first section has the descriptions of wild plants that the game
itself has, and the other one is MY description of what the wild plants look
like. It's a little confusing, sorry.
===========================================================
Q: Do you gain any wild plant things from connecting to the GBA game?
A: Not that I know of, though the GBA game does get something out of it
wild-plant wise. You get Van, and befriending him allows you to sell your
flowers and other wild crops to him. Check my FoMT Wild Plant Guide for more
information.

(Comment sent from Katy8)
(copied directly from E-mail)
Q(?): The sayings for wild flowers are NOT really true for example: for
Gemsoil The Stem helps grow healthy fruits, I tried sticking it in the ground
but nothing happened :(
A: Sticking the Gemsoil in the ground won't help. One has to hybrid the
Gemsoil with a crop in order to allow the crop to grow in any soil fertility.
