Tiny Garden released at the start of April, with a fresh update that just released adding in controller support and Native Linux support. Looks like another very sweet casual game to relax with.

In the game you're gifted a precious family heirloom passed down through the generations that turns into a magical pocket-sized garden, uncovered through a heartfelt story. Here you get to create and grow your own tiny little garden. You can sow a variety of plants and flowers, trade them for unique furniture alongside various customisation options for the garden in this calming mix of farming, puzzle-solving, and strategy.

Each decision leads to a new discovery, and hidden surprises await. No wrong choices in this one, no time limits, no score. It's all about just relaxing and creating and seeing what you can experiment with.

It looks lovely, but this is one where I certainly hope the accessibility options and Steam Deck text sizes are properly implemented, as those "history" letters sure are hard to read, even on my giant desktop screen.
Very cute idea though! Would make for a lovely little real-world crafting project as well.
