Make sure to purchase everything you need from Leif because his Garden Shop closes at 10PM, on the dot!

Spot Leif From Game Start Screen

You can check if Leif appears when you start up your game. The camera always follows a random villager and sometimes it lands on a special villager that is visiting that day!

How To Get Leif To Show Up

Update To Ver. 1.2.0 Of The Game

Update To Ver. 1.2.0 Of The Game

To be able to bring Leif and his Garden Shop to your island, your game needs to be updated to version 1.2.0. This is part of the free update released on April 23, 2020.

Check Out Ver. 1.2.0 Free April Update Summary!

What If Leif Isn't Showing Up?

Leif Will Randomly Appear During The Week

Even if you update your game, there is simply no surefire way of making Leif appear on the same day of the update. It's best to wait for him to come visit your island. He will not come every day, so it's a matter of being patient.

Will Not Appear If There's Another Vendor

If there is another vendor in the plaza such as Label or Kicks, Leif will not appear on your island. Check the next day when your plaza does not have any other pop-up shops.

Play After The Game Update

Make sure to close the game software and then update to version 1.2.0 to have a high chance of Leif appearing when you start up the game again.

Leif Sells New Plant Item "Shrub"

shrubs

You can purchase new plant item Shrubs (ex. "Azalea start" and "Tea-olive start") from Leif. Leif will be at the plaza during the event.

In Previous Games

Ran A Gardening Shop

Leif

In previous Animal Crossing titles, Leif operated a shop in which you could buy gardening supplies like flowers, weeds, another plants. He also offered a weeding service!

Cannot Build A Shop In New Horizons

Although Leif operated his own brick-and-mortar store in New Leaf, it doesn't seem like you can get Leif to build a permanent shop on your island in New Horizons! At least, not yet. Perhaps this will be added in a future update?

Hosted A Weed Pulling Challenge

Leif also served as the host of a separate weed-pulling challenge! Such a challenge doesn't seem to exist in New Horizons so far, so it's possible that Earth Day will feature something similar!
