Almost none of the art here was drawn by me. It is pixel art from packs made by other people, cut and re-tinted to fit — and a garden built out of other people's work with no names on it would be a small lie sitting in the middle of a site about where ideas come from.

Some of these licences require attribution and some only ask for it. That distinction decides what happens if you don't; it isn't a distinction worth exercising.

  Pack

  Farm RPG — Tiny Asset Pack (All in One)

  Licence

  Custom asset licence attribution required

  Used for

  The surface: the ground you look out across, and the plants standing on it — one per note, drawn at whatever stage of growth the note has reached. And the crow that crosses the sky in the daytime.

  Commercial and non-commercial use permitted, including modification. Reselling or redistributing the assets is prohibited, modified or not. Use in cryptocurrency or NFT projects is prohibited, as is use to train AI.

• Anokolisa

  Licence

  Custom asset licence

  Used for

  The earth under the cut: the band the field's dirt lip stands on, seen in cross-section — a course of stones bedded into dark ground, settling into the soil below.

  Free for commercial use, including modification. Credit is optional but appreciated for the assets as published — and the licence asks specifically that no credit be given to the original creator where the shape or colour has been changed, which is true of everything cut from this pack here. Characters, monsters and other creatures ship only to the author's Patreon subscribers and are not in this download.

  CC0 1.0 credit appreciated

  Used for

  The blue bird that crosses the sky in spring and summer, where the crow crosses it in autumn and winter.

  Public domain dedication. No restrictions on use, modification or redistribution, commercial or otherwise.

• grinnch

  Licence

  CC BY 4.0 attribution required

  Used for

  The sun, and the moon in each of its eight phases — one of them a night, picked by the date, crossing the same arc the sun crosses by day.

  Commercial and non-commercial use permitted, including modification and redistribution, provided the author is credited and changes are indicated.

• The stars behind the sky stratum.

  Written for this garden, in a session with Claude.

  Made with Google Gemini, for this garden.

  All three under the SIL Open Font License. Not art, but somebody drew every letter of them and the page would be a poorer thing set in the browser default.

Something missing or wrong here is a bug, and a more serious one than a broken layout. The record lives in art/sources.js.
