Has anyone got any recommendations on how to get your island to 5 stars?!

I've come off now but I will check next time!

Yeah dropped (not placed) items a big No-no also pick up all fallen fruit

Use fencing as well. Otherwise have a load of flowers, placed items, 10 villages and limit the amount of dropped items (shells and things like that don't count)

I don't know what I did, but I got 5 stars!

Yay, congrats 🥳
