How to unlock the Green Thumb achievement in A Short Hike - Definitive Guide

Like the feathers, these are all over the place. Here's the guide I used to find the last few I was missing.

Had to recheck most of the sprouts, got to say the most difficult ones were the last three at Hawk Peak.

This one wouldn't unlock for me. Checked everything twice. Sigh.

Nice, literally the only one I was missing before I turned to a guide was the one right by the Aunt's ranger cabin.

Achievement is bugged. I got them all and checked them all again twice but still no achievement :(

I think the guide is incomplete. I found another (28th) sprout right above the final (27th) in the guide (literally just bounce up using it), after which the achievement unlocked right away for me.

@J Schwizzle that one is already in the guide as number 25. I am also having trouble with the achievement though, I've got all 27 and still nothing popped.

For number 8 on that list, down (southwest) of the beach where the dude who deals in shells, there's a cabin. Take the stairs down past the beach umbrellas until you see a path on the left side that heads up between two trees. The sprout is just past the gap in the rock the path goes up.

I prefer this guide to the Steam one because A it has more pictures and B has better descriptions than 'The seventeen one is to jump on the previous one'

To do this you need the water bucket (location is shown in video, there are at least 2 in the map, 1 up on a ridge just north of Meteor Lake and the other in the far north on an island near the boat race).

Once you have the water bucket, you need to water all 27 sprouts in the game. If you have a decent amount of feathers already you will do this easily as you can climb higher and get from one side of the map to the other faster so I'd recommend you get those first, I've included the guide to getting all feathers (Feathers Forever Achievement) below as well to help you with this.

There are 27 sprouts to find and water throughout the game. Similar to the campfires, you'll first need to find a bucket, but there are a couple to fidn in the game and you only need one as they can be reused. Equip the bucket, walk into water to fill it, then pour it over the sprout to water it. This map can be used for all of the locations.

There are a total of 27 Sprouts that you'll need to water so they turn into flowers/"bouncepads". These will all be out in the open but you'll need to collect about 7-8 Golden Flowers before you can reach the ones on the top of Hawk Peak (see Feathers Forever trophy_gold.png for their locations). Once you've watered all 27 Sprouts, the trophy will unlock.

The locations of the Sprouts are shown below. The 1st Sprout you get is right next to the Bucket you'll need to collect water in (just run into any body of water to fill it up). If you prefer to use a video guide, one has been provided underneath the map.
