Flowerbud Village (MM)

Flowerbud Village is found between the hills and the sea, bordered on the west by a lake. When the game begins, the town is fairly vacant, but new shops and villagers will arrive in town after certain criteria are met, such as participating in a festival or shipping enough of a particular item.

The shops sell everything needed to start a ranch, such as animals, seeds, tools, and furniture. Houses, barns, chicken coops, and other structures can be built on the player's property by visiting the Workshop and ordering construction projects.

Festivals are held year round at either Flower Bud Square, the town meeting area to the east, or Moonlight Beach to the southwest.
