A player misusing a watering can.

The watering can is an essential gardening tool, introduced in Animal Crossing: Wild World. It is used to water flowers to prevent them from wilting and dying. It can also bring a wilted flower back into bloom. Flowers that have been watered sparkle and appear shinier. The watering can is crucial to having a perfect town environment, as it keeps flowers thriving. Silver watering cans can revive red turnips back to life, and golden watering cans produce golden roses by reviving wilted, black roses.
