'''Covered Garden''' is an [[Intermediate]] [[map]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in [[Bloons TD 6 ~~v33~~.0|version 33.0]]. It takes place in a garden with glass roof consisting of three moving panels. At any given time, three quarters of the garden is inaccessible: towers cannot be placed there, and towers already placed there cannot be interacted with, though their attacks and abilities work as usual. At the end of every round, one of the glass panels moves to expose a new quarter of the garden, and covering the quarter which was previously exposed.

The glass panels do not affect [[line of sight]] or [[Projectile|projectiles]]; towers such as [[Mortar Monkey (BTD6)|Mortar Monkey]] can attack covered parts of the track as normal.

** Place [[Stack of Old Nails]], [[Tube of Amaz-o-Glue]] and [[Blade Trap]] from [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo's Shop]].

* These towers can only perform certain actions to the '''uncovered''' parts of the garden.

** Target a Monkey with abilities such as Take Aim from a [[Deadeye]], [[Bounty Hunter]] or [[Golden Justice]], [[Overclock (BTD6)|Overclock]], [[Ultraboost (BTD6)|Ultraboost]] and Power Glove from the [[Master Builder]].

** [[Support Chinook (BTD6)|Support Chinook]] and [[Special Poperations (BTD6)|Special Poperations]] reposition and {{BTD6 mk|Door Gunner}}, neither from lifting a covered tower nor dropping them on a blocked location.

** [[Special Poperations ~~(BTD6)|Special Poperations]]~~ Marine deploy, however, if the Heli Pilot is very close to a uncovered location, the Marine will appear there.

** Moving [[Dark Knight (BTD6)|Dark Knight]], [[Dark Champion (BTD6)|Dark Champion]], [[Legend of the Night (BTD6)|Legend of the Night]] and [[Corvus (BTD6)|Corvus]] with their abilities.

** [[Beast Handler ~~(BTD6)|Beast Handler]]~~ top and middle path Beast reposition.

** Place or give to other towers most items from ~~[[Geraldo (BTD6)|~~Geraldo's Shop]], with the exceptions listed above.

* [[Rosalia (BTD6)|Rosalia]] cannot move below a covered panel before she reaches Level 7. After that, she can move freely.

Other interactions:

*Sub-towers outside the covered panels have different interactions if their parent is inside a covered panel. Sub-towers that are allowed to inherit buffs from their main tower and that can be selected (e.g. ~~[[Rosalia (BTD6)|Rosalia]] and~~ [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]'s dinos) cannot open their parents' menus, but can still be selected to reveal their ranges.

*[[Rosalia (BTD6)|Rosalia]], which is technically an air unit connected to her workshop, has the same interaction rules as Beast Handler dinos and fish.

==Strategy==

Covered Garden is ~~among the most challenging Intermediate maps, and is widely seen as the most frustrating among them~~, ~~due to~~ the glass panels' mechanic. ~~To reduce the frustration of this~~ map~~'s gameplay~~, global towers such as [[Heli Pilot (BTD6)|Heli Pilots]] ~~can be placed~~ outside the glass-covered garden. For towers inside the garden, save-ups should be prepared for advance, so that they can be upgraded before a panel covers them. Towers that get around Covered Garden's mechanics well are listed here.

Covered Garden is moderately difficult when compared to other intermediate tracks, with the glass panels mechanic often being a source of frustration. The first few rounds on CHIMPS may take multiple tries to get down. However, it is a single-lane map, and it can be cheesed by placing global towers such as [[Heli Pilot (BTD6)|Heli Pilots]] outside the glass-covered garden, which gets around the track's main gimmick. For towers inside the garden, save-ups should be prepared for advance, so that they can be upgraded before a panel covers them.

|When placed outside of the garden, Geraldo's shop can be ~~utilized~~ at any time. This gives him flexibility to use most of his items when needed, such as [[Blade Trap]] for leaking clumps of Bloons that result from not upgrading towers in time and [[Genie Bottle]] for any difficult round. His [[Pet Rabbit]] also does solid damage for its cost across the map. Note that Geraldo's on-tower items, such as [[Gerry's Fire]] and [[Jar of Pickles]], cannot be placed on covered towers. He also excels on Intermediate maps in general, as his shop refresh occurs on Round 95 in CHIMPS if placed relatively early, allowing for effectively doubled usage of his items for the hardest rounds.
