New Merchants In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Leif’s Garden Shop: Visiting Merchant
Leif is a gardener who was introduced in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Now, he is coming to New Horizon with his shop. Players will be able to purchase saplings from him to plant some bushes.
Leif will shop up in random visits to your island at the Resident Services to sell seeds and saplings.
Jolly Redd’s Treasure Trawler: Visiting Merchant
Another returning character from past Animal Crossing games is Jolly Redd. Like Leif, he will appear randomly at your island in his own ship.
Just like previous games, Redd will sell some artwork and paintings. But, he is not the most upstanding salesman and you may find some copied artworks. So, you will need to carefully inspect his artworks.
Art Paintings & Statues To The Museum
The museum is getting expansion with new paintings and statues in the new update.
Donation of all types of artworks and statues will be accepted in the gym but the art shouldn’t be forged like of Jolly’s.
New Seasonal Events
Four new seasonal events have also been announced in the promotional video. The great marathon of four seasonal events will begin from April 23 till June end. Each event will begin the preceding event’s conclusion. Here is the list of the events:
- Nature Day Event-> April 23- May 4
- May Day Event-> May 1-7
- International Museum Day-> May 18- 31
- Wedding Season-> June 1-30
