'''Helpers''' are characters that are available to assist with some of the jobs that keeping a garden entails.  You can have up to five helpers active in your garden at once.

 +
* Helpers can be hired at [[Shop#Arfur's Inn|Arfur's Inn]].  Select the type of helper you would like to hire, and place the contract in the garden.  Once the helper arrives, it will pick up the contract and start working in the garden.
 +
* Helpers will only work part of the day in the garden.  The rest of the time they will go home.  To increase the amount of time the Helper spends in the garden, you can purchase a [[Willy Builder#Special Buildings|Helper House]] from Willy Builder.
 +
* Helpers will leave the garden if they become unhappy.  Getting stuck in the garden, or being whacked with the [[shovel]] do not make a Helper happy. Whacking them with your shovel causes chocolate coins to fall out from the helper.
 +
* You can pay Helpers [[Chocolate coin]]s to increase their happiness.  To do so, select the helper and press {{button|x}} to bring up the menu.  A new option will be available to give coins to the Helper.  Giving a helper 5 or more [[chocolate coin]]s increases their happiness by approximately 25% of the happiness meter.
 +
* Helpers can be sent home or back to Arfur's Inn.  To do so, select the helper and press {{button|x}} to bring up the menu.  A new option will be available to dismiss the helper.  The helper can be sent home for the day or permanently sacked.
 +
* Helpers will open gates to get through the garden and may allow pinata to get out.
 +
* Naming a helper will earn you an [[Achievement]].  To do so, select the helper and press {{button|y}} to bring up the information.  Next press {{button|a}} to rename.  Enter the new name on the keyboard and select 'Done'.
 +
* Using Helpers is optional, so you can play the game the way that you like.

Currently, there are three known helpers to never make it into the final version of the game. This includes the Lizard and Bird Experts, and one helper seen in a trailer planting things. While the latter would be described as just a regular helper, it seems as though the other ones would provide hints. Such as the Lizard Experts giving help on things such as a [[Newtgat]] or [[Jameleon]], while the Bird Expert may have given advice with a [[Sparrowmint]], or an [[Eaglair]].

Cut Helpers

Two Lizard and Bird Experts.

Currently, there are three known helpers to never make it into the final version of the game. This includes the Lizard and Bird Experts, and one helper seen in a trailer planting things. While the latter would be described as just a regular helper, it seems as though the other ones would provide hints. Such as the Lizard Experts giving help on things such as a Newtgat or Jameleon, while the Bird Expert may have given advice with a Sparrowmint, or an Eaglair.

Helpers are characters that are available to assist with some of the jobs that keeping a garden entails. You can have up to five helpers active in your garden at once.
