'''Pikmin Garden''' ({{j|ピクミンガーデン ～ピクミンのいる庭～|Pikumin Gāden ~Pikumin no Iru Niwa~|Pikmin Garden: A Garden with Pikmin}}) is the official ''Pikmin'' section of Nintendo’s Japanese website. It contains various articles with information on the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]]. The website is divided into five main subpages: PIKMIN 4コマ (PIKMIN 4koma), 乗組員名簿 (Crew List), 原生生物図鑑 (Piklopedia), 調査レポート (Survey Report), and やってみよう (Let's Try It). Recent news on the series is displayed at the bottom of the page, alongside various links to games, movies, merchandise and other information on the ''Pikmin'' series.

A Korean version of Pikmin Garden was also released, looking identical to the original version. However, it is outdated, lacking some updates post the release of the website. Smaller versions of Pikmin Garden were also released on various other Nintendo websites. These only feature the Piklopedia and the Daily Comic sections of the website, as well as an exclusive page explaining what [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are.

==Subpages==
===調査レポート (Survey Report)===
The Survey Report subpage features various reports on aspects of the world of ''Pikmin'', referencing elements from all mainline games in the series. written from the perspective of [[Minor characters#Chet|Chet]], the leader of the Research Task Force found in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''.

===原生生物図鑑 (Piklopedia)===
[[File:-Pikmin Garden Piklopedia Enemies.png|250px|thumb|The cover image for the Piklopedia.]]
The Piklopedia ({{j|原生生物図鑑|Gensei Seibutsu Zukan|Primitive Creature Field Guide}}), much like the [[Piklopedia]] found in the games, is an encyclopedia of creatures from the ''Pikmin'' series. Each species has its own subpage containing various details such as its physical characteristics, behavior, relationships to other creatures, among various other aspects.

===乗組員名簿 (Crew List)===
The Crew List features profiles for characters from across the ''Pikmin'' series. The profiles provide a job, planet of origin, short description, related people, hobbies and dreams to each character.

The characters featured in the Crew List are: [[Captain Olimar]], [[Louie]], [[the President]], [[Alph]], [[Brittany]], [[Charlie]], [[Erma Shepherd]], [[Collin]], [[Russ]], [[Dingo]], [[Yonny]], [[Bernard]] and [[Oatchi]].

===やってみよう (Let's Try It)===
[[File:Pikmin 100 logo.png|thumb|The ''Pikmin 100'' logo, seen on the website.]]
The "Lets Try It" page provides various activities to do based around ''Pikmin''. These activities include a piano roll video of the song sung by the Pikmin in ''Pikmin 4'', printable coloring pages of ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'' artwork, and both printable and video instructions to fold {{w|origami}} Red Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, and Blue Pikmin.

On July 19th, 2024, the section was updated with the addition of ''Pikmin 100'', a game playable directly on the website when viewed on smartphones. The game has only one input: a button on-screen with a whistle icon. Every time the button is tapped, a Pikmin appears on-screen, the number at the top of the screen increments by 1, and a group of children call out that number. The ultimate goal of the game, as its title suggests, is to summon a total of 100 Pikmin so they can all carry a [[Crimson Banquet]].

The Pikmin 4koma features an archive of all of the [[Pikmin comic|comic strips]] from June 22nd, 2023 to June 21st, 2024.

''Pikmin: What's This?'' is a video series which shows various close-up images of real world objects, encouraging the viewer to guess the object before it is fully revealed by the end of the video. Each object is the inspiration for a [[List of Pikmin 4 treasures|treasure in ''Pikmin 4'']], shown with in-game footage to end each video. New videos were posted to Pikmin Garden's Schedule Book every Monday from {{date|17|July|2023}} to {{date|8|January|2024}}, when it was given a dedicated page numbering each video.
