Gardening Mama is a 2009 puzzle and simulation game developed by Cooking Mama Limited for the Nintendo DS and iOS, and the first gardening-focused entry in the Cooking Mama franchise. Rather than preparing meals, players take on gardening tasks alongside the series' familiar Mama character. The game applies the same hands-on, activity-based structure associated with the franchise to the cultivation of plants, using the Nintendo DS's touch controls to simulate various gardening actions. It marked a notable expansion of the Cooking Mama series into new domestic subject matter, demonstrating that the franchise's gameplay approach could translate beyond the kitchen into outdoor and horticultural activities.
