Your progress and garden data are stored locally on your machine using the node-persist library. The data is typically saved in a .node-persist directory within your home folder (e.g., ~/.node-persist/ on Unix-like systems or C:\Users\YourUsername\.node-persist\ on Windows). This ensures your data persists between sessions, allowing you to track your long-term progress.
