Since it's already three months to Neugarten (three months!? Jeez, time passes by quickly, for sure!), I've decided to create this thread for any suggestions concerning this holiday. I'm writing it on the main Suggestions forum as it encompasses not only food items, but also books, clothing, stickers, plushies, beanbags, etc.

Clothing: Pure cotton dress

Food: Buddha Bowls Golden Milk

Beanbags: Buddha Bowl Beanbag

Plushies: Buddha Bowl Plushie

Well, I know these suggestions may seem poor and scarce, but I'd like to give way to other users' contributions for Neugarten. Any suggestions are welcome! :)

I want to see a Renaissance Festival! Please, please, please!

As for items, sadly I have nothing to suggest right now.

First off, hell yes on the Renaissance fair idea

Since we don't know entirely what direction they are going with Neugarten let me suggest some general summer items subeta is still missing.

Outdoor grills and other outdoor stuff: -we have a charcoal grill but no gas or electric grills -Other grilling stuff like: unused metal or wooden skewers, BBQ pizza stones, tin foil, bbq drip trays -summer themed napkins and paper plates -garden furniture : stackable chairs, plastic outdoor tables, picknick tables, garden parasols or canopies -trays to make your own popsicles, funny icecube trays -Portable cooler boxes -books with grill recipes and books with popsicle recipes -Aloe gel for sunburns -unfilled water balloons, maybe a bucket filled with full water balloons. -Yard toys: trampolines, plastic garden slides, swingsets/tree swings, Treehouses

Some relevant bbq and frozen foods -cheeses that can be grilled on a bbq without melting: Halloumi, Kefalotyri, Queso panela, Provolone, Paneer -raw burger patty's: beef, pork, veggie -hot dog and slider buns -boozy popsicles in flavors like: sangria, Mojito, pina colada or any flavor Daiquiri -frozen fruit and fruit mixes for smoothies

For clothes: -More knee length or mid calf length leggings either in Plain colors or patterns. -wet t-shirts -Beach towel ground items -handheld water bottles and popsicles -road trip themed backdrops like empty highways or wearables that are a car the HA is standing in front.

Additionally, here's some old threads that have good ideas that are nice for either old allergarten or summer in general:

More hiking/outdoorsy stuff More Wearable Birds Silly sunglasses Fruit Purses Whining For Wine Skating, cycling, and safety gear! bicyles maybe~? Bathing / swim suits?

your Buddha Bowls links to the same dress. Is that on purpose?

Whoops! Sorry about that!

[edit] Done! There should be no more trouble now.

I like the Ren Faire suggestion. Neugarten is sort of a meh holiday to me.

Renaissance fairs sound cool to me, as well! :)

Since Neugarten has been vegan-y maybe some moon milks made with nut milks instead of dairy milk?

I'm hoping for something different this year. Neugarten was, above everything else, kinda dull. There's were lots of suggestions around last year as to how it could be expanded or how Alegarten could have been transformed.

Two quite clear themes emerge: health, alternative diets, and sustainability vs. cultural and folksy with a hint of medieval. Either of the two are fine by me (but I do have a preference towards the hobbits...).

Alegarten was pretty much always a purchase-everything kind of holiday, so I don't really expect much in the way of new content for it. There's another holiday here like this, Keelhauliday, and then Skitters used to be the only shop. These were all intended to be seasonal replacements for the general Holiday Shop. I don't really think all of Subeta's holidays need to be equally super-exciting, and I for one pretty much only pay attention to Keelhauliday for the Achievements since I'm an Islander through and through.

Sustainable farmers markets are pretty much a Fireside thing. There's even a farmer's market with Autumn Dragons on it that was created for just that idea.

I think with the vegan-direction of Neugarten a sustainability fair type direction is perfect. How about just making it one of those (modern) hippie/travel/outdoors/sustainability festivals (I like the threads that mentioned). Maybe something similar to Burning Man? (LOOL).

Reusable versions of items such as these (apologies for so many links from that store, it's a local one and it has everything!): Coffee Cups Metal/bamboo straws and cutlery Beeswax wraps, although we don't even have foil or plastic wrap on the site Cotton string bags - for groceries (would be a great wearable Metal tiffins for food storage Re-usable water bottles (also good for Stay Outside) Bamboo toothbrush Empty glass mason jars, bottles, etc Silk tooth floss (in a glass tube)

I also like the idea of making them items on Subeta cos then it would make people used to seeing them and maybe they'd be interested in buying them IRL.

Basically ALL the bamboo things. Also, a bamboo item shop could work for Shengui Guo. :D

The event for me always felt like a weird summer oktoberfest....which never made complete sense to me but I understand why they need an event during the summer time. I personally would love for it to lean into a folk festive, or a ren fair and bring back peka boo (I really only say this because I missed it when it came out...rip)

I would also love some closer on the events that took place last year...... gunter has been sitting at SAI HQ for almost a year now, and he's still not talking.

I personally fear for the worst concerning Gunter... 😟

I think he should be exonerated.

I really like the Ren Faire idea! It's right around the same time that Alegarten starts that Ren Faires are in big swing, too.

I'm all for Medieval/Renaissance Fairs, too!

I second all of the sustainable ren/craft fair stuff, and I love that quote Dice dug up about users planting flowers and upcycling trash floaters and building insect hotels.

Since the date for Neugarten is just "summer," I was thinking maybe the holiday could center on the solstice. (I'm a sucker for astronomy. Also, I wish we celebrated Midsummer's Eve IRL. It'd be like a mini Christmas, but with more fresh produce and better weather.)

((And a trial mini plot would be EXCELLENT, much excite))

I'd prefer a Renaissance Festival as well.

I like the idea of making Neugarten a mixture of vegan festivals & renaissance fairs. I'm not a fan of so many people thinking veganism is a diet so I don't like the idea of adding nonvegan foods to the shop.

I like the idea of clothes and items made from bamboo, hemp, and recycled materials. The Recycle Beast being involved would be cute!

Some specific food ideas I have: -Brown rice syrup -Apple "honey" -Textured vegetable protein (tvp) -Seitan -Nice cream -Smoothie bowls -Quinoa -Kale chips -Ricemallow fluff

I came here just to throw my support around the Renaissance Fair idea too. I've seen it suggested before, and it sounds like so much fun for Subeta.
