Grow A Garden Items

Many games use a weekly event cycle, such as Grow A Garden. This is because, at least for this idle game, 7 days is enough for most players to earn rewards, provided they work hard enough.

Based on this, the current weekly event is Buttercup Quest, themed around the specific crop Buttercup. It encourages you to earn event tokens by completing tasks, which can then be redeemed for rewards.

While the gameplay is simple, the real charm of Grow A Garden lies in the crops, pets, cosmetics, and more, all with fun appearances and functions. Below, we'll introduce all the mechanics and rewards of Buttercup Quest.

Buttercup Quest Event duration

The event officially started at 1:00 AM Eastern Time on January 24th, last Saturday, and will continue until the same time this Saturday (January 31st). You have a week to earn rewards.

Preparation

Recently, the game has been hosting Admin Abuse events an hour before each new GAG event. You can take advantage of the various mini-games or specific weather conditions during the event to earn more rewards.

However, it's worth noting that Admin Abuse event preceding Buttercup Quest has ended, and due to changes in the administrators, the recent extra rewards aren't very attractive.

If you still want to participate in the event later, it's recommended to participate with your friends on a private server. This can avoid unnecessary trouble and make completing the gift-giving task easier.

What are the main mechanics of this event?

After Buttercup Quest begins, you'll find a square garden in the center of Event Island, filled with Buttercup plants. At the same time, an NPC named Brooklyn will be stationed there to give you quests.

After completing the designated daily quests, the game will reward you with varying amounts of Buttercup Coins as tokens. You can use these coins to trade with Brooklyn again; consuming 3 coins will exchange for 1 Buttercup Chest.

Each opened chest may grant you one of the following random rewards (based on different drop rates):

• Big Buttercup - 43.9%
• Bigger Buttercup - 35%
• Pink Bunny - 15%
• Biggest Buttercup - 1%
• Beast Buttercup - 0.05%
• Rainbow Buttercup Chest - 0.01%

What are the daily quests?

The daily quest for Buttercup Quest event is to give a specific color of Buttercup to a designated NPC. You can obtain Buttercup seeds and plant them to harvest crops in the following ways:

• Refresh and trade in the shop.
• Trigger Lucky Harvest event to obtain any rare seed when harvesting crops.
• Pet snails may drop them.
• Pet dogs, Golden Labs, Shiba Inu, or Bone Dogs have a very low chance of digging them up.
• Collect them during Seed Rain weather event.
• Pet Red Pandas sometimes restock a random Stock and then refresh.

The color of Buttercups you get by growing them yourself is random. While you can wait until you get the desired color, the event has an expiration date, so you'll need to use the following mutation effects provided by Grow A Garden pets to change the petal color:

Blue:

• Diamond - Diamond Dragonfly pet
• Luminous - Luminous Sprite pet
• Glacial - Frost Dragon pet (when converting frozen into glacial)

Red:

• Corrupt - any Corrupted mutated pets
• Flaming - Phoenix pet
• Opulent - Galah Cockatoo pet
• Friendbound - Friendship Pot

Yellow:

• Gold - Dragonfly pet
• Sandy - Jackalope pet
• Pollinated - Queen Bee or Bee pet

Purple:

• Glimmering - Glimmering Sprite pet

Green:

• Lush - Lush Sprinkler
• Verdant - Scarlet Macaw pet, or using Verdant Mutation Spray
• Ornamented - Nutcracker Pets

White:

• Silver - Silver Dragonfly pet
• Spooky - Ghost Bear pet
• Crystallized - Sapphire Macaw pet
• Ghostly - Great Pumpkin
• Snowy - Reindeer or Nutcracker pet

Black:

• Charcoal - Charcoal Sprinkler
• Burnt - Cooked Owl pet
• Moonlit - Wolf pet

Currently, there seems to be no evidence that giving a Buttercup of a certain color to a particular NPC yields the most coins, so you can only try to complete as many tasks as possible.

Reward details

Opening a Buttercup Chest can potentially yield six types of rewards. Rainbow Buttercup Chest primarily provides opportunities to obtain other rewards in the rainbow version.

Other Buttercup rewards actually provide seeds. Once mature, you can use the mutation effect mentioned earlier to change the crop's color and give it to NPCs to complete tasks, saving you the trouble of wasting currency in the shop for extra seeds.

As for the pet reward Pink Bunny, in appearance, is the typical bunny found in games, only pink. Honestly, that alone is enough to attract many players who love pink.

This pet's rarity level is Uncommon, not particularly high in the game, but its trait allows it to eat nearby ripe Buttercups, dropping two Buttercup seeds. If you're lucky enough to get the rainbow version, Pink Bunny, it will drop three seeds.

Clearly, this pet primarily serves to help you complete Buttercup Quest Event; its trait becomes less relevant after the event's release. However, who can resist a cute pink bunny running around in their garden?

Another interesting tidbit: in real life, Buttercups are poisonous to rabbits! So if you have a real bunny pet, or if you know any kids playing Grow A Garden, be sure to remember and remind them of this.

That concludes the main content of this event. If you're interested in Pink Bunny and these fancy Buttercup crops, hurry up and complete the quest!

Since its launch, Grow A Garden has consistently updated with a new event almost weekly, aiming to add freshness to your familiar and sometimes monotonous daily gaming experience through new limited-time fun gameplay and rewards.

Currently, the event update time is fixed on Saturdays, so the latest event you can play is Hungry Birds Event, which launched on January 17th. Below, we'll introduce the mechanics and gameplay of this event.

Hungry Birds Event mechanics

Participation in this event is simpler than other events in previous weeks. Once you log in after Hungry Birds begins, you'll see a new bird's nest in the central area, with birds constantly flying around it.

During the event, you can place fruit in the nest to attract birds to eat it, after which the birds have a chance to drop rewards for you. The rewards may fall into one of the following three categories (only one of each will appear at a time):

• Bird Egg
• Basic Sprinkler
• Watering Can

So, your main task can be summarized as continuously planting fruit and using as many mutations as possible to accelerate their ripening, or getting Grow A Garden pets for sale on IGGM to further increase the fruit ripening speed through the pet's bonus.

Hungry Birds Event reward details

Of the three types of rewards, Basic Sprinkler is a rare gear that increases the growth rate and yield of plants within its radius for five minutes, and also has a small chance to trigger a Wet mutation. Other ways to obtain this gear include:

• It has a 40% chance of appearing in the shop and can be exchanged by consuming 25,000 Sheckles.
• It has a chance to drop as a bonus from the pet Mole or Pancake Mole.
• More future events may include Basic Sprinkler as a reward.

The second reward type, Watering Can, is a Common-rarity gear that you can use to water soil in plots where crops have been planted, and the watering effect stacks. Besides being an event reward, it can also be obtained by consuming 50,000 Sheckles.

The third reward type, Bird Egg, is a reward exclusive to Hungry Birds Event. These eggs need to be hatched to unlock specific reward items. The higher the rarity of the fruit you feed the bird, the faster the egg hatches.

Potential items that can hatch from Bird Eggs include:

Items:

• Bird Egg
• Premium Bird Egg

Pets:

• Black Bird
• Cuckoo
• Brown Owl
• Gold Finch
• Bird

Mutation:

• Goldsparkle

Premium Bird Egg, with its lower drop rate, is special because it has a unique appearance and primarily hatches new event-limited pets. The probabilities and bonuses for each pet are as follows:

• Black Bird - 43.9%: Increases the age of pets hatched from eggs by an additional 1/3/15 times.
• Cuckoo - 30%: When you receive a Lucky Harvest, there is a 2-6% chance to obtain a Triple Seed, with a maximum chance of 12%.
• Brown Owl - 20%: Grants all your active pets an additional 0.1 XP per second.
• Gold Finch - 5%: Every five minutes, there is a 5-15% chance to apply Goldsparkle mutation to nearby crops.
• Birb - 0.1%: Every five minutes, accelerates egg hatching, reducing the hatching time of all eggs by 150 seconds. There is also a 30% chance that the hatching time reduction will exceed 2.5 times.

Other noteworthy details

Theoretically, rewards and items from completed events should no longer be obtainable. However, during Hungry Birds Event, the limited-time seed Bonanza Bloom from Garden Games Event (January 3-10) can occasionally appear in the shop.

More importantly, once it is planted in your garden and matured, every 5 minutes, for every Carnival Cosmetic item you have in your garden, the hatching time of nearby Bird Eggs will be reduced by 30 seconds.

However, this seed currently requires many Sheckles or Robuxes, so we do not recommend obtaining Bird Egg hatching bonus this way. Regular pets or mutations are still better options.

Furthermore, Season 3 Season Pass is still ongoing and is expected to last until February 9th. If you don't want to miss out on the various winter-themed rewards, be sure to level up your Season Pass while participating in various events.

How to prepare for the next event?

Following the usual update frequency, the next Grow A Garden event should launch on January 24th, replacing Hungry Birds. However, its theme and gameplay are currently unknown. For now, all you can do is prepare for the next Admin Abuse event.

Admin Abuse is a fixed event type that takes place about an hour before each new GAG event. During this event, specific weather effects will appear in the game, and you can also find rarer items in the shop.

In addition, this event will offer mini-games for you to play, giving you a chance to win rewards, which may include Admin Packs, or other rarer decorations or pets.

It's worth noting that it's best not to quit the game immediately after Admin Abuse ends, as Grow A Garden may sometimes offer some returning drop rewards - the admins are always so capricious!

That's all for this introduction. If you want to continue playing Grow A Garden, participating in new events is essential, as the basic gameplay is actually quite limited. So be sure to keep an eye on the game's event updates! Have fun!
