Little Pot, Big Seasons

Desktop bonsai

Little Pot, Big Seasons is a PC bonsai widget that stays transparent and on top of your desktop, with click-through space around the plant so you can keep using what’s underneath. You tend a plant in a shallow bowl as it moves through the seasons and its life cycle, from sprout and seedling to bloom and wither.

Caring for the plant

Four tools sit on the desk: a watering can, fertilizer, a trowel and a bug net. Drag a tool, release it, and the care is done. Chalkboards beside the plant show seasonal sketches or switch to a hint when the plant needs something.
