The second out of eight locations in the game Pikmin: New World. It symbolizes a bright sunny day as its form of weather. Many main mechanics in the game are introduced here. It is actually what remains of the Awakening Wood after the major erosion event that surfaced all of the caves. It is still, however, covered in a thick forest except now atop what appears to a grassy hill in peaceful meadow. There are several large trees on top of this hill and the area is encircled by various vegetables, such as a pumpkin, a yam, a cucumber, a squash, a zucchini, a cabbage head, and several pepper plants. It consists of the dungeons that were inside of the Awakening Wood before it eroded away. Its geography matches that of the Hole of Beasts, the White Flower Garden, the Bulblax Kingdom and the Snagret Hole all bunched together into one big area. The area is actually very large and contains six dungeons in total spread out all over the garden. Rose and White Pikmin are discovered here.

Map

The landing site is a a metallic loop similar to Sublevel 2 of the White Flower Garden, except with a large squash at its center and with plants growing all around it. There are several Dwarf Red Bulborbs here, and the exiting path has four Green Burgeoning Spiderworts growing on its edges that can be used to create a dose of Ultra-Tangy Spray. There are Male and Female Sheergrubs that appear in this area though and will make it difficult to collect all of the berries before they are eaten by whiskerpillars. However, this is not the first thing that the player should attempt to do. Instead, the player should occupy him/herself with destroying the two gates that are immediately after the path. One will be useful now and the other will be useful much later in the game.

Path 1

Once the first one has been opened up, the layout of the next area will be similar to Sublevel 4 of the Hole of Beasts connected to part of the . There is a large, wide open clearing with six alcoves jutting out of its sides, most of them blocked off by mossy gates. The center of the clearing is populated by four dwarf red bulborbs and at least eight crimson runbulbs. At the end the clearing narrows down to a single path which is guarded by a creeping chrysanthemum. Killing it will allow access to the Beastly Burrow. After, this short, four floor dungeon is completed, the other areas previously inaccessable due to the mossy gates are now accessable due to Olimar's new special cargo, the Anti-Plant Juice that grants him the Plant Paralyzer. This makes him now able to break down mossy gates with his pikmin as well as have an easier time bringing down plant enemies. One side will only grant acess to Crimson Candypop Buds or Burgeoning Spiderworts, while the other allows the player to access three different areas. Each of these are actually the three segments that make up the final floor of the Bulblax Kingdom. The first area contains the landing place in the floor and the entrance to the Hot Tar Pools. The second area is the only one without a mossy gate. Instead, it has a tar-dripping gate that must be destroyed using the Rose Pikmin discovered in the the Hot Tar Pools. Once destroyed, the player can access the area and collect the Crusty Surprize and Rushed Beauty with the scale puzzle. They can also collect the Ever-Changing Pointer in a pool of tar at the clearing's center to obtain the Directional Engine that allows them to get to the Hall of Gales. This area's layout is similar to the area where Emperor Bulblax was fought in his arena. The third clearing is actually the large area after the battle arena where the Gyroid Bust was found and is connected to a long stream. There is a crescent-shaped clearing directly in front of a large pond filled with squirmfish here. Also, there is a large area of upland where yellow pikmin are needed to collect the Boxed Banquet in the place where the original treasure was found. There is a Wobbegong Wolf lying in wait there but the main problem is the three dwarf wollywogs that are normally seen lounging on a small island not far off the pond's bank. Simply distract the dwarf wollywogs with a group of olive pikmin and take out the wobbegong wolf with a group of purples. This will allow you to obtain the Bleached Blanket on the clearing's edge. Just a little ways further into the water there is the opening into the actual river where a yellow wollywog sits with its flailing wogpole on a small, rocky island. If not provoked, they will ignore your group and allow the player to pass by. The river is mostly populated by harmless squirmfish but skitter leaves and sectipedes are also a common sight in the water. The stream splits in two later on down the river.

Split 1

One of the paths lead to an area much like the clearing where white pikmin are first discovered in the White Flower Garden, except now underwater and in the places where the ivory candypop buds were once sit pearly clamclamps on their islands. The gate at the edge of the place is still there, though looking a bit old by then, and on the other side is a short trail which leads to the entrance to the King's Throne. Their are also five wogpoles swimming about in the pond and an iridescent flint beetle can sometimes be found hiding within a submerged shrub. One of the pearly clamclamps have the Bluebomb inside of them instead of a pearl and another will have an egg or fruit. Sugarslicks can also be found hiding within the violets on the sides of the clearing.

Split 2

The other path leads to an area of shallow water where there are several, waterside fern plants that hide wogpoles that can be killed for more pikmin. It is actually sublevel five of the Hole of Beasts. There are also several other tiny ponds off the side where sectipedes often hang out. Honeywisps can also be found inside patches of clover in these puddles. A predatory petunia lounges by the water sleeping and, further inland, two massive groups of ujadani feed in peace with the company of five golden runseeds. These obstacles make it very difficult to obtain the Stormy Sailer which is situated on top of a stump. There is also a gate that connects to path two, allowing all different pikmin types to access this area. These are needed to collect the Butcher's Dream, which requires reds to destroy the fire gate and electrics to climb all of the way up a very high mugnut tree and grab the giant knife. At the very end there is a mossy gate and beyond it is the landing site for the final floor. There is still even the imprint left behind from the squished creature, except it is now surrounded by dandelions and mushrooms and is filled with very shallow water. This water is shallow enough so that non-blues will not drown in it. On any day past Day 42 there will be a small dark lump hovering above this water that can be attacked with red pikmin to ignite it. The following day this floating fireball will turn into the supernatural Waxowisp that can be fought to earn 20 dwarf red bulborb carcasses, making this risky fight well worth it.

Path 2

This path is immediately blocked off by a poison gate, stopping further exploration of the area. Behind there is a large
