Silent Hill: Townfall – How to Get the Community Garden Key

Enter 1993 on the padlock at Jane's Shed to grab the key that unlocks the gate toward Mr. Stewart's house.

Enter 1993 on the padlock at Jane’s Shed to grab the key that unlocks the gate toward Mr. Stewart’s house.

During Part 2 of Silent Hill Townfall, Zoe heads east across St. Amelia to check on Mr. Stewart, but the route dead-ends at a locked gate on the far side of the Community Gardens. There is no detour around it. The way through depends on a small timber shed in the allotments, sealed with a four-digit combination padlock.

Quick answer: Set Jane’s Shed’s padlock to 1993. Inside, pick up the Community Garden Key from the shelf and use it to unlock the gardens’ gate.


Where the Community Gardens are in St. Amelia

The puzzle’s locations are all clustered in a small part of the Shorefront District. Leave the apartment through the hallway to reach the balcony, descend to street level, then travel east through the fog. This route gets you to the gardens without encounters or retracing your steps.

Bring up the map and select the Shorefront District. The Community Gardens are beside St. Amelia Park and the Clinic; the map also marks Jane’s Shed, letting you verify the allotment before inspecting its plaques.

The allotment beds are on the other side of the metal gate. Find a small wooden shed with a “JANE’S GARDEN” sign next to the door; a four-digit combination padlock secures it.

Jane’s Shed code is 1993, and the clue is on a planter

Nothing in a drawer or on a screen hands you this number. It is printed on the small metal plaques bolted to the sides of the raised beds. Each plaque names a member of the St. Amelia community, and one of them names the woman who owns the shed.

Enter the planter-box rows and check each plaque as you go. An early one says “PLANTED BY B. KEITH 12.04.1980,” so continue past it.

Continue from marker to marker until you reach the plaque for Jane Chalmers, which names her as the 1993 winner of the “Community Spirit Award.” Since the shed is hers, that year is the full combination.

Open the padlock on Jane’s Shed

Go back to the shed and target the padlock on the latch. The interaction prompt appears for the lock, not for the door.

Examine the padlock to open its tumbler screen. Use the movement controls to set the four dials, then confirm the code.

The game gives no message when the code is right. Instead, the shackle comes loose and the door swings inward; that’s the only confirmation.


Everything inside Jane’s Shed

No further puzzle waits inside. There are three pickups in the small room, so check the shelves before returning to the fog.

The Community Garden Key is an old iron key bearing a paper tag marked “Community Gardens”; it alone unlocks the gate. Alcohol has no use by itself, but its description identifies it as a crafting material. The obituary adds context to the plaque: Ian, Jane’s son, was killed in the South Well disaster, and Jane died soon afterward. That was three years after she won an award for building and maintaining the gardens.


Use the Community Garden Key on the gate

Trace the allotments’ eastern edge to reach the barred wooden gate. Having the key in your inventory changes the lock prompt from locked to usable; line up the lock until its indicator turns green, then activate it to access the northern half of the Shorefront District.

Beyond the gate, turn away from the gardens. Part 2 continues northward and does not cut back through the plots, so you can carry on without retracing your route. Take the streets to Commercial Road, where Mr. Stewart’s house is located.

Mr. Stewart’s front entrance is supposed to be locked; that doesn’t mean you’ve overlooked anything. Go around to the rear gardens and use the fence gap to reach the back door.
