List of Contents
| Steps | Directions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Visit Harv's Island. |
| 2 | Construct the shop for the botany expert with the greenest of thumbs. |
| 3 | Talk to Harv the day after. |
After receiving the letter from Harv, head to the airport and visit his island. Search for Harv in the new area with the wooden gate.
After the cutscene, you can start donating Bells to the Gyroids to construct the shops. Look for the Gyroid that will construct the shop for the botany expert with the greenest of thumbs and donate 100,000 Bells.
Once the building is complete, head to the plaza to find Harv talking to Leif. Talk to them to open up Leif's shop on Harv's Island.
Note that Leif will not show up on Harv's Island if he is currently on your island, so be sure to check your island's town hall to see if he is there!
| Things to Do with Leif |

Leif still sells starts, shrubs, and flowers while he is in Harv's plaza. The selection changes every day, so be sure to talk to him and see if there's something new!
You can sell weeds to Leif to earn bells. If you have unlocked Tortimer's Storage, you can retrieve the weeds from your storage and sell those to him without traveling back-and-forth.
While in Harv's plaza, Leif offers a new weeding service allowing you to pay him to remove all the weeds in your island within the next day for 100,000 Bells! All the removed weeds will be moved to the recycle box afterward.
Note that this service is only available if your island is full of weeds.
For now, you can find Leif on your island. He can visit your island at any day of the week from 5AM to 10PM. Check out our section on Leif's Garden Shop below to learn how to acquire shrubs and bushes from him!
In the October 15th Direct, it was confirmed that familiar island visitors like Leif will be setting up shop in Harv's Plaza!
