How do you breed hybrids while still leaving your town open to new villagers to move in?
I'm so scared of villagers just moving in ontop of my gold or black flowers, because those take so much work. How do you work around this? Do I just have to wait until I no longer want to encounter any new neighbours? I really like getting new villagers in and getting to know them, and then them leaving and getting a new resident. And I don't really like the fence PWP.
Sometimes I put them in the very corners of my town or on the beach to keep them safe c:

And when you have your town more set up you can start placing your hybrids wherever you want and just plot reset when you expect a villager to move in.
I couldn't work it like that as it would drive me crazy never knowing if my flowers were safe or if my layout would be ruined
I never let randoms move in
I would suggest maybe putting your flowers on the beach or in those flower planter pwp things. I have 2 of those at the moment, not sure how many you can have at once.
I try to work around that by putting my hybrids where villagers can't destroy them, like near buildings and PWPs or ponds or on the beach. Any area where villagers can't move. It's still annoying. It'd be great to be able to place them wherever you want but there are some flowers like golden roses and Jacob's ladders that are difficult to obtain. Those are what I don't want to lose. When it comes to normal hybrids, I'm honestly not all that worried about losing them. If a villager moves on top of them, you should be able to breed them back in 2 or 3 days, granted you have the beautiful town ordinance in effect.
I never allow random move ins, and always get villagers from the trading thread and then proceed to plot reset. It's happened to me before, but I usually just buy back the hybrids >,<
Currently all of my hybrids that aren't blue roses or white carnations are on my beach so those are same if a random move in were to happen by accident.
Always put them on the beach. I learned the hard way of flower farming pink hybrids and a random villager moved ontop of them.
It also helps me keep them in order when on the beach and I can still hybrid more.
I used to put them on the beach but now I get kind of lazy to go down there. My town is mainly orange flowers, so the other coloured hybrids are usually sitting on my beach untouched. I like to plant my flowers to breed around my neighbour's houses or next to main buildings (like a 3-square border around their house) so it's like their own personalised flower garden. When it gets too out of hand I'll just move the flowers into the forest like wild flowers. I plot reset so I can control whether they'll plonk their house on top of my trees or flowers anyways.
I keep all my hybrids on the beach. Grow them there too! I also have the fence pwp for my carnations and I keep a few along the wall by my waterfall too.
I occasionally plot reset (remainder of dreamies) from sunrise to sundown so I'm never worried about a villager moving on top of my hybrids.
That said, the beach being loaded with flowers isn't my scene so I've had a lot of luck scattering them very close to the train station. I only have small patches, though. If you're a flower fairy go the temporary beach route as others have suggested.
I have soooooo many flowers, so I plant mine on the beach. I don't even know what I'm going to do with all of them, I might have to give them away, lol.
The beach is a good choice, or around PWPs villagers can't move near. Plot resetting is the viable option, but I understand not everyone wants to do that.
I just always plot reset, it doesn't cause too much of a problem and it doesn't end up squishing your paths, and sometimes on my first plot reset, they are in the perfect spot, like Lily, she went in the best spot she could, honestly it looks so good... Not to brag. But if u don't wanna do that put them either on the beach until you have all your dreamies or you can put them near your house other PWPS or you could just put them near the main buildings, by rivers also looks pretty cute as of the fact it contrasts really nicely or even putting them near large rocks looks super pretty. Honestly I haven't ran into a problem whilst plot resetting so I reccomend that personally but it depends on your personal preference or whether you are patient or not lol.
I leave my hybrids where I want because I have 10 villagers. When someone moves out I adopt a villager from the Villager Trading Plaza and plot reset their house the next day. Easy stuff.
I'm still breeding hybrids, as I still don't have enough of them to fill my town with. I keep them on the beach, just to make sure no one will plot over them.
