Gaia Homes 2.0 Back Yard
...I wish we could make titles to these a little longer...
In the hopes that someday we are able to have multiple rooms, I hope we can also have back yard areas for gardens. I don’t imagine this would be an easy task at all, but I would like to make some suggestions of what I would like to see if this ever became possible. Please feel free to make suggestions of your own.

Pros of Gaia Back Yards:
1. New gold sink through a Garden Center shop.
2. More profit for Gaia with special Cash Shop garden items.
3. A back yard area like the house itself would be separate from the neighborhood area and not interfere with it.
4. Many users have expressed interest in having a garden area.
Possible problems with Gaia Back Yards:
1. The difficulty of making them in the first place.(obviously. I don’t know much about programing things like that for Gaia, but I bet it’s not easy.)
2. Feasible “Back Yards” for Durem, and Aekea which are apartment blocks and would not actually have back yards.
Basic ideas:
1. Only one Back Yard per account/house(obviously)
2. Back Yards will be available in the same shape, and sizes of current Gaia house rooms.
3. No “walls” instead there would be a back ground representing the town it is in.

Obsidian Dreamlight
And maybe a gardening minigame! It could be a good way to include flowers into Towns 2.

I know that some of the houses couldn't have a backyard, but nothing wrong with having a patio or balcony/windowbox garden.

For Durem (where I live), I don't see why we can't have green roofs.
There would need to be a "R" (roof) button for the elevator.
And we could have the rooftop space with a cute little roof access, six plots, and crushed rock pathways in between (with an option to change the path material).
As this would be a shared space for the whole building, there wouldn't need to be six different spaces/plots for the building.
For Aekea, there is that central ladder near the top landing; it doesn't seem to go anywhere. That could be extended to another roof access and space.

Yes! I love these suggestions!
I'd also like to see treehouses, a small bird house/cage (could also be substituted for indoors), picnic table, small pond bridge, pond with lotus/leafpad, a swing that looks a little like the swing from Petite Cherie, and more pillows for chairs and couches. These suggestions are pretty "large" in our Gaia homes.
As for statues, a zomg flamingo would work just fine. sweatdrop
