Hi I have been trying for ages to find my ID for the violet plate,  can a lovely fairy please help , many thanks .

It's 50570333

Hi Tracey thank you so much taking the time to help, really appreciate it, your a star !! 💐💐

What is this number and how does it help you?

The number is the Plate ID … it’s useful when you are doing Topiary quests . Hope this helps Heidi.

If you have the POT ID you can find out the order of the trail by using the calculator, it helps with planning specially on the latter trails when you may need RFH plants.

I guess I need to do the topiary trail to understand. I am out of the loop on this one. I wasn't even aware there was a calculator. Where do I find all of this information or steps on the topiary trail?

This is the link for the calculator - https://myarduinoprojects.com/flcalculator/
This gives all kinds of useful info & you can see what you need to complete the tops here:

It really is very simple & you can start with one seed as you build up more as you go along...basically you set up up & you need to spot & attract the various wildlife for each trail. I found it great fun & it will be easier with more gardens to hunt in...

is there anyway to know the ID pot number if already in the garden and has a bush in in already...thanks!

Yes - if you right click anywhere on the screen you will have the option come up to "inspect" - a heap of text will open up on the screen - in the top left corner you will see an icon with an arrow - select this and then you move the mouse to hover over the pot - it will show you "pot pic" with a number.  Click the cross at the top right of the text box to close once you have the number.
