FAQ:
Where is my Firefly Bush and my other prizes that I won? 
You can find the Firefly Bush and the Swampy Pond under the Nature section of your Inventory; Sonja's Old Dinghy and the Critter Den can be found under the Decor section of your Inventory. 

I crafted the Cleansing Flames but every time I click on the Swamp Trees it says I need to pay 80 Crowns or craft more. Why is that?
You can pay the Crowns to skip the time and resources to craft them, but if you've already crafted the Cleansing Flames, you can use them by clicking on them under the Consumables section of your Inventory and then clicking on the Swamp Trees.
