Nature Day: Everything you need to know about Animal Crossing: New Horizon’s new update
A new update has arrived for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, bringing with it a seasonal event known as Nature Day which introduces a new shop, plants and more.
Nature Day is the first of many updates planned in the coming months for New Horizons, expanding upon what is already a fairly comprehensive experience.
Arriving today through a free download, Nature Day introduces a new shopkeeper known as Leif, who will have constructed a stall in the island plaza.
They aren’t just selling flowers either; they introduce a new type of plant known as Shrubs, which are essentially small bushes that sprout forth all manner of adorable flowers.
If you’re bored of fences and want a more appealing way of surrounding houses or decorating your island, planting a few of these is a surefire way of drawing eyes once visitors come knocking.
