The nature-loving Leif will be visiting islands to sell a vast assortment of shrubs and flower seeds around the plaza area.

Jolly Redd, an art dealer, will also visit islands occasionally to sell items from his Treasure Trawler boat. Players need to double check that the art they purchase from Jolly Redd are genuine and not fake.

Purchasing art pieces and donating them to the museum will expand the building to include an art gallery.
