kivy-garden uses this path for locating garden packages : join(expanduser('~'), '.kivy', 'garden') means :
~/.kivy/garden/<package> but on OS X the path kivy search for garden packages are at '/Applications/Kivy.app/Contents/Resources/.kivy/garden/<packages>'

i have a bugfix for this problem by changing garden_system_dir = '/Applications/Kivy.app/Contents/Resources/.kivy/garden/<packages>' on OS X , shall i pull request or this problem should be fixed from Kivy ?

I fixed this problem today by doing this:

1. kivy -m pip install -U watchdog pygments docutils jedi gitpython six kivy-garden
2. cd kivy-designer/
3. garden install --app filebrowser
4. kivy main.py
5. Celebrate

Step 3 was the critical one for me.

Note 1: I am using python 2.7 and kivy 1.9.1 on OS X El Capitan
Note 2:

If you want to include garden packages in your application, you can add –app to the install command. This will create a libs/garden directory in your current directory which will be used by kivy.garden. Source = https://kivy.org/docs/api-kivy.garden.html

@randomelectrons Are the pip modules listed in step 1 of your fix necessary for garden to work, or are they requirements of your specific application?

@AlexMartin-Ginnold, the files in step 1 are necessary to get garden to work.
