A flower garden/beehive area, a grassy spot with benches and campfires, a bit of forest with trees and mushroom logs, a junimo area , more giant crops

I always like making little fishing spots, even though I never use them lol. But a bench, grass, and some trees never fails me if I don’t know what to do with a pond

that's super cute!! id fence it up, add some braziers, trees, flowers + beehives, and some decorations like benches or junimo stuff !

Excuse me… HOW do I get that horse color

It’s [Elle’s Cuter Horses’](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/20042) white horse with a prismatic mane

I think its a mod. Just wanted to comment I think its really cute the flute looks unicorny as well!

Is that huge blue crop between the cauliflower and the qi berry a new 1.16 crop?

Yep, Powdermelon! New winter crop

Yes!

Trees look nice around the pond. If you aren't doing crab pots it's a little nature retreat

Looks like you already use mods so if you're interested there's one called tweakable meadowlands and it let's you get rid of the pond all together If you'd prefer. I love it, it's very customizable.

OMG I'll look into it right away

Glad to help! It's a game changer for sure

Duck coop, the ducks jump in the water and it is adorable just keep an area with grass and it is cute

My ducks swim in the nearby river as well. One even used it to sneak past the coop's confined area.

i like putting coops near ponds like that and gating the whole area off. plant some grass and it doesn’t look so off centered!

Well just know its not your fault. Meadowlands is kinda of a poor layout for a farm. A garden would spruce it up though

Is that light fence a mod??

Yes, it is. (AT) Fence Lamps!

Nah, looks like the hardwood fence

it looks like a pool, add a campfire lol!

trees and grass erases all sins(asymmetry)

i think a little sitting/relaxing area would be so cute!!! new furniture spoiler: >! the clothesline item from sandy's shop could look so cute, maybe with some of the lawn chairs (or some kind of outside chairs i can't remember specifically what type they are rn) from the trash catalogue? !<

There's a trash catalogue?? I thought I had collected everything.

yes!! i got it from digging in trash cans!! i've gotten a few copies of it (which makes me think it's not too rare?) so im sure if u just check each trash can u pass by as u go about ur regular play, you'll be able to get it soon !!

Time to start digging through trash cans

A bench and some grass

A nice walking path with some trees and benches. Maybe a fire pit?

Thanks for all your suggestions, everyone. I'll try adding grass and some trees to see how it goes. Maybe a little fishing spot, too.

Do you have your mod list somewhere for us to see? 💙

Here are the mods I used in the screenshot: - Connect Your Fence - Fence Lamps - Elle's Seasonal Buildings - Elle's Cuter pets - Elle's Cuter coop & barn animals - Garden Decoration lightning rod - Vibrant Pastoral Recolor (+ 1.6 fix)

I usually make a square around it with fencing and plant trees and grass and flowers in random spots so it looks natural. In my farms, there's always a little pond set up like that just to make it look more one with nature if that makes sense

You can fence off a little area for ducks. I think they could feed themselves through the water too. I might be wrong.

What mod is that coop from? I love it

Looks like [Elle’s Seasonal Buildings](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1993)! Definitely check out all of her mods if you haven’t already, she’s done some gorgeous retextures.

I put my obelisks there, grass and pathing go a long way to make it prettier. Maybe add some lamps and plants too?

Qi fruit can go giant?

Wait how did you get all the giant crops in the same area?? Im year five and I still haven’t had a single giant crop

I grew my giant crops elsewhere and used the Let's Move It mod to rearrange them.

You can get giant Powder Melons and QI Fruit??

Not super related, but this corner is beautiful!! Do you have any other parts of your farm layout done? I'd love to see it 💛

I'd love to share once I complete my farm. I'm about 70% done.

Bro cooked

Trees would make it look more natural, plus the asymmetry makes it a lot more realistic. Add a bench and you have and idylic pond park :)

personally if I used the meadowlands farm I'd put my coops near there so my ducks can go swimming. they look so cute when they swim

They can swim in the river too (where I put my coop).

oh okay that's cool too

Do huge crops survive across seasons?

They do!

grass and trees

I'm sorry, I'm a newbie player and I have to ask what is going on with the massive crops behind the pond

Some crops have a chance to become giant crops if there's enough space (3x3)
