New FrontierVille Collections: Flower Shop & Flower Gardening

Along with the release of the Flower Shop in FrontierVille today, we also see the game updated with two new collections to match. As usual, as with the release of any new building, we see a new collection released specifically for that building, but we also have a new collection dealing with raising the new flowers that are now available to plant and grow in the game.

The first collection is the Flower Shop collection, and this is the general collection that will be filled either when whacking the frame of the Flower Shop while building it, or when collecting your Daily Bonus from the Flower Shop once per day. The five items to be on the lookout for are:

Vase
Floral Wire
Bouquet Bow
Floral Foam
Gift Card

Collecting all five of these items will allow you to trade in the collection to receive 50 coins and a Flower Shop Sign decorative item which is only available (currently) through turning in the collection.

Meet us behind the break for details on the Flower Gardening collection, which is earned in an entirely different way.

As for the Flower Gardening collection, you'll earn these five items by tending to your flowers that you purchase after finishing the Flower Shop building on your land. Your flowers grow over time, like crops and trees do, and when you come back to tend to your flowers, you'll be able to randomly receive the following five items:

Gardening Apron
Pruning Shears
Flower Food
Potting Soil
Flower Bucket

The reward for this collection is a new kind of flower that is currently unavailable to purchase in the game (even if you have a completed Flower Shop on your land) - Irises. You'll receive 2 Irises, to be exact, along with 25 XP.

And there you have it - two collections to work on while completing your normal gameplay activities in FrontierVille. Will these new collections have an impact on how many flowers you'll purchase and grow in the game?

New FrontierVille Badges: Florist & Gardener

Along with the release of the Flower Shop in FrontierVille today, we also see the launch of two new badges (achievements) to unlock related to the Flower Shop and the flowers you'll purchase/grow thereafter. The first badge is called the Florist badge, and it deals with the Flower Missions that are available to complete and repeat as many times as you'd like - in fact, that's how you earn this badge. It doesn't matter which of the four Flower missions you complete over and over again, so long as you do complete it.

The four badges in this series are rewarded after completing 4 Flower missions (it's easy to say "complete each of the four quests once"), 10 Flower missions, 20 Flower missions, and finally, after completing a whopping 50 Flower missions. If you have the patience to complete the same series of tasks over and over again, then congrats on eventually earning these badges. As you do, you'll be rewarded with Lilies, a flower that isn't available to purchase or plant directly.

Meanwhile, the Gardner badge is earned after tending to different numbers of flowers, so it's an entirely separate process from the Florist badge. You'll earn the four stages of the Gardener badge after tending to 25, 100, 250, and eventually 500 flowers. You'll receive the Flowering Cactus plant item as you go along. Just as with the Lilies, this Flowering Cactus is unavailable elsewhere in the game (as of this writing).

With so much to work on in terms of flowers in FrontierVille, you'll have plenty to keep you busy from now and a bit into the future.
