News Tag: 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!

As a game composed of various item systems, Grow A Garden wasn't always as comprehensive as it is now, with so many items available. For example, the cosmetics system was only added to the game in May of this year.

Unlike gear or mutation mechanisms, cosmetics in Grow A Garden are purely decorative and do not provide any bonuses to your crops or pets' growth.

However, considering the simplicity of the gameplay and the resulting low ceiling for re-playability, the addition of cosmetics provides new enjoyment for top-tier players who have already exhausted other gameplay options.

Furthermore, even if you are just a casual player, you can decorate your garden with cosmetics and then visit your friends' gardens, adding a social element to the game.

Based on this, we will introduce you to Grow A Garden cosmetics system and how to obtain more cosmetics.

Grow A Garden Cosmetics Overview

This system was added to the game on May 24, 2025, through Farm Cosmetics Update. They are mostly individual decorative items that require you to design them based on your garden's existing layout to create a pleasing overall appearance.

Additionally, if you like to have your Grow A Garden pets walking around in your garden, you should also consider whether their appearance matches the style of your cosmetics.

Generally, pets and cosmetic rewards from limited-time events will have some commonalities, making them easier to match. If you want to create a perfect mix-and-match, it will be more challenging.

How To Obtain Cosmetics?

Currently, there are three main ways to obtain cosmetics in Grow A Garden, which we will introduce to you one by one.

Trading In The Store

After the cosmetics system was added to the game, you will find that there is an additional shop to visit, located between Gear and Pet Eggs stalls, run by an NPC named Sam.

Each time you interact with Sam, he will display 9 tradable cosmetic items, which you can obtain by consuming Sheckles. If you don't find what you want, you need to wait 4 hours for the items to automatically refresh.

Sometimes, these cosmetic items will include special crates, which need 55 million Sheckles. You can click on the question mark next to the crates to see the cosmetics you might obtain and their respective probabilities.

Sam's shop features cosmetics of five different rarities. Here are the specific items included in each rarity:

From time to time, or during real-world holidays, GAG hosts limited-time events. During these events, you can unlock limited-edition cosmetics by trading in the limited-time shop or completing tasks within specific time periods.

The limited rewards offered in each event are different, and most are unavailable after the event ends. The current event is Christmas Harvest event, which ends on December 28th, so if you are interested in the following Christmas cosmetics, you need to act fast!

Advancing Season Pass Progress

This is the battle pass mechanism in Grow A Garden, updated approximately every month. Each season pass has two versions: free and premium. You can choose how many levels you want to unlock.

For each level you complete in the season pass, you unlock the corresponding reward, some of which are cosmetic items. These levels mostly involve completing daily tasks and are easy to complete.

In addition, the season pass has an exclusive shop where items can only be obtained by consuming pass points. Cosmetic items sometimes appear in the shop.

How To Place Cosmetics?

Once you obtain cosmetic items, they will be placed in the inventory of the corresponding category. Find and click on the cosmetic item you want to place, and it will immediately appear in front of you.

Click on it again, and five buttons will appear on the screen for moving and rotating it. The functions of these buttons include:

• The button with four outward-pointing arrows can move or rotate the cosmetic.
• The second button can tilt the cosmetic up or down.
• The third button can rotate the cosmetic.
• The fourth button can tilt the cosmetic left or right.
• The fifth button is a box used to store the cosmetic.

The box for storing cosmetics is located under the gear category in your backpack. Equip it and place it in your garden to use it.

It's important to note that each GAG character can only have a maximum of 250 cosmetics in the game, and the maximum number of cosmetics that can be placed in the garden is 60.

So, when your cosmetic inventory is almost full, please discard those with low rarity in time.

This concludes our Grow A Garden cosmetic guide. As the game updates and more events are held, the number of available cosmetics will increase. Please continue to strive for them!

December is the last month of the year, and many people are looking forward to Christmas holidays. Grow A Garden also updated on December 6th with the first part of its Christmas Harvest event.

Christmas Harvest event will last for three weeks, with a second and third part to follow. This update is quite extensive, and you're probably wondering what new seeds and pets this event brings.

New NPCs And Events

After entering the game, you'll see two platforms with several NPCs, each with different functions.

Presenting The Elf

Talking to her will reveal a 2025 Advent Calendar with 19 slots containing rewards. You need to complete daily tasks to unlock the daily rewards. Once unlocked, you can claim one Gingerbread Blossom seed, the best seed in the game.

Items To Watch

Peppermint Vine Seed

At the very bottom of the seed shop is a Peppermint vine seed. Its effect is that when a nearby egg hatches, there is a 10% chance of hatching a pet with Peppermint pet mutation.

Peppermint mutation effect is that every 15.5 minutes, 12 random Christmas-type fruits in the garden are sacrificed to immediately activate a pet ability, and the effect is random.

Frost Dragon

Frost Dragon is arguably the best pet in the game, as it can convert all Frozen mutations within 30 yards into Glacial mutations. Each conversion grants 600 experience points to all other Grow A Garden pets in the garden. Additionally, when you sell fruit with Glacial mutation, there's a 6% chance that a random mutation from that fruit will be applied to other fruits in the garden.

Snowman Builder

Snowman Builder allows you to consume fruit with any cold-type mutation every 4 minutes, granting a snow-based cosmetic reward.

How To Get More Rewards?

To get more rewards, maximize the use of Snowy mutation event every 10 minutes. You can use this event to obtain mutated plants for rewards.

It's recommended to fill every row of your garden with a large number of low-tier plants to quickly generate a large amount of snowy mutation fruit for submission. It's best to pair it with a pet that can copy or amplify mutation effects (like Frost Sprinkler) to more effectively utilize Snowy mutation event.

Best Pets:

• T-Rex pet: Consumes a random mutation every 18 minutes, then spreads it to four other targets.
• Polar Bear pet: Has a 10% chance every 90 seconds to turn nearby fruit into Chilled or Frozen.
• Giant Ant pet: Has a chance to copy fruit, and can copy the mutation along with it.

Christmas Harvest event has just begun, and the second and third parts will bring even more content until Christmas. Enjoy the event and the holidays, players!

On November 29th, Grow A Garden released Trade World update. This update introduces various trading-related features, including Booth System, Trade Tokens, and recent auctions.

Some players may find this update complex, so let's take a look at how Trade World works and how it affects trading.

How To Enter Trade World?

Trade World, also known as Farmers Market, is accessed through a portal in the center of the map. At the bottom of Trade Menu in Grow A Garden, there's a blue "Travel To Farmers Market" button, allowing you to easily switch between the two.

Trading Interface

In Garden World, a new Trade button has been added between the shop and Pass buttons, and it allows players to send trade requests to others, potentially eliminating the need for Trading Tickets, and also lets you view other players' inventory.

You can now completely disable inventory visibility or set it to be visible only to friends, and set a Trading PIN (a unique 4-digit password) to prevent pet trading in case of account theft.

A Recovery Phrase is provided when setting PIN, and you should be sure to keep it safe for resetting if you forget it.

Show Warning For Unfair Trade

This is a great feature that uses RAP system for analysis, issuing warnings when a trade might be unfair (especially when pet RAP values fluctuate frequently). However, the warning is only a notification and will not prevent the trade.

Trade Tokens

In Trade Menu or Farmers Market, you can directly exchange Robux for tokens. The exchange rate is 1 Robux = 1 Token, with exchange options ranging from 50 to 25,000 tokens.

You can also obtain tokens from other players by selling items (pets, fruits, booth skins, etc.) in Trade World.

Initially, free-to-play players may find it difficult to acquire tokens without using Robux. Later, players can earn tokens by selling valuable pets or fruits, and then use these tokens to exchange for items that previously required Robux, such as event shop items and premium eggs.

However, this also creates an advantage for pay-to-win players. Free-to-play players can only obtain tokens by selling their own Grow A Garden items to players who possess them. If their items are not attractive enough, it will be difficult for them to participate in the new economic system.

Trade World Explained

Trade World is a public space where a large number of players can interact simultaneously. It is a dedicated area for trading, and players can post trading information using a public chat channel.

Booth System

Trade booths are scattered throughout the world, most initially unclaimed. Players can claim a booth and apply its appearance, such as changing colors or elements. Claiming a booth can be canceled and reclaimed at any time.

You can earn Trade Tokens by listing plants, pets, and Booth Skins at booths. Currently, seeds are not included in booth transactions.

RAP System

RAP system dynamically displays the real-time average trading value of items across the entire Grow a Garden market. If most people sell an item at the value higher than RAP, its RAP will increase, and vice versa.

A 1% tax is levied on all transactions. If an item sells for 100 tokens, the seller receives 99 tokens, which is to curb inflation.

However, players could manipulate RAP by repeatedly trading the same item with their main and alternate accounts. Additionally, RAP system currently does not consider the weight or age of pets. Therefore, it is impossible to directly distinguish between ordinary pets and Titanic pets. For pets, buyers need to manually click to view details.

RAP system only displays the value for the current day, lacking hourly fluctuation data, so players cannot obtain real-time value information. Furthermore, due to update release time compensation, there is almost no real transaction data to support it, resulting in severely distorted values displayed in RAP. This can lead sellers to significantly underestimate item value by referencing incorrect RAPs.

Currently, RAP for the same item can differ greatly from the player's setting across different game servers. If players only refer to the value on their own server, they are highly likely to misjudge item value when trading across servers.

RAP Index

Clicking RAP Index button at the top of the screen allows you to browse all tradable items. It can be used to find specific pets and distinguish their special variants, but the index cannot filter Titanic Pets.

Players can also sell high-value fruits to earn tokens, and it provides another way for skilled growers to acquire tokens.

Trading Advice

Currently, Grow A Garden Trade World are still in the early stages of the update, and the total number of tokens on the market is very small, as they mainly come from Robux-owning players. Therefore, the number of tokens that can be exchanged for pets will be limited. As time goes on, the number of tokens in the system will increase, and the number of tokens obtained from selling the same pet will also increase.

Players who own Robux may take advantage of sellers' eagerness to acquire tokens in the early stages to find pets with extremely high cost-performance ratios.

If you are very skilled at trading, you can calculate the cash value of 1 Token = 1 Robux based on the exchange rate between real-world money and Robux, and then compare it with the offline trading market to find bargains within the game.

This update has a huge impact on the entire pet trading value system. The market will experience chaos and wild fluctuations in the early stages, and RAP system will need some time to stabilize.

The trading system has just been updated and still has many issues. If you are not used to it, you can continue to use the basic Gifting function and Trading Tickets system, which are still available.

While Grow a Garden Mega Safari wasn't as groundbreaking as last week's update, it's still a pretty good update overall, especially after you figure out how to farm efficiently.

Mega Harvest introduces a variety of new items, each serving a different purpose within the event's progression. To make the most out of this update, you need to identify which items offer the highest value and develop an efficient farming strategy to consistently secure them.

Mega Harvest

Mega Harvest occurs hourly and lasts approximately 10 minutes. During this time, submitting plants to Joyce earns double points, and Safari Joe will appear.

Whenever a new pet appears, Safari Joe will sell its corresponding pet shards. Each shard not only provides the corresponding pet's abilities but also an additional passive buff. The best shard is Lion Shard, which provides lion abilities and a significant passive buff, but has a 0.5% or 1% drop rate. So how do you effectively farm Lion Shards?

How To Farm Lion Shards?

Safari Shop

Safari Shop refreshes its inventory every 15 minutes. Tradeable Grow A Garden items include Safari Eggs and Jumbo Pet Shards.

You can use one account, along with an auto-clicker or macros, to trade all items in the shop or specific items you want. When Safari Eggs and Jumbo Pet Shards are listed, trade them on your main account, then use as many of your alt accounts as possible to trade them. Your best target is Lion Shard, although this is largely based on luck, but this method relies heavily on the number of alt accounts you have.

Safari Harvest

Due to the enhanced individual rewards from Mega Safari, farming is now more rewarding. This makes obtaining rewards like Safari Eggs, Lollipops, and Paradise Eggs relatively easier.

Cover-All Garden

You need to create a multi-harvest garden containing all the plant types Safari Joyce might require.

You should use fast-growing, multi-harvest, high-rarity plants such as blueberries, spear grass, watermelons, candies, cauliflower, tomatoes, etc. You can find corresponding plants by characteristics using the filter function in the gardening guide.

You can also increase your harvest by using a full swarm of Giant Ants, Stegosauruses, or other cloned pets. This method is the easiest for most players to implement, but it's not the most efficient.

Coconuts And Mangoes

Coconuts and Mangoes basically cover half of the categories Joyce might request, including the new Safari type. They not only produce a high number of fruits per plant and regenerate quickly, but they are also very rare, which allows you to get more Safari Global Points after submitting crops to Joyce.

It is recommended to establish a garden with about 100 mango and coconut seeds. Too many will cause game lag. In the early stages, you can use snails to collect coconuts to quickly accumulate coconut seeds.

When Safari Joyce requests Safari, Woody, or Tropical plants, you can equip Giant Ants for gathering. This will be even more powerful once Cape Buffalo becomes available. If the types of coconuts and mangoes Joyce requests don't match, it's recommended to rest and not submit anything.

Once the crops are mature, fill your inventory and then submit all items. Submitting an inventory of plants outside of double Safari Global Points periods will grant two rewards, while during double points periods, you'll receive four rewards.

Safari Joe

Safari Joe appears during Mega Harvest event for 10 minutes every hour. You submit pets to Joe to earn rewards, including pet shards. Each pet's reward is based on its rarity and age, and pet weight does not affect pet value

Pet Points

Points for each pet rarity:

• Common: 16.5
• UnCommon: 26.5
• Rare: 36.5
• Legendary: 46.5
• Mythical: 56.5
• Divine: 66.6
• Prismatic: 76.5

To calculate the pet value for a pet, subtract 1 from its age and multiply the result by 1.5, then add the base rarity.

The following pets each provide 120 pet value. You need to submit an average of 180 of these pets to get 1 Lion Shard:

• Legendary: Age 50
• Mythical: Age 44
• Divine: Age 37

The following pets each provide 140 pet value. You need to submit an average of 100 of these pets to get 1 Lion Shard:

• Legendary: Age 64
• Mythical: Age 57
• Divine: Age 50

How To Hatch Pets?

You can use low-level, low-weight Ostriches to hatch pets, but avoid using Brontosauruses since their effect does not increase the pet's age.

Regarding pet eggs, avoid using limited-time or event eggs. Mythical eggs are best, while legendary eggs are also acceptable, and the rare eggs cannot reach the high age required to obtain Lion Shards.

You can use at least 4-5 Rhinos and 4-5 Bald Eagles to reduce hatching cooldown time, allowing you to hatch approximately every 1-1.5 hours. If you can use Hydras and pair them with pets like Peacocks that reduce cooldown, hatching will be even faster.

How To Sell?

Use Ostriches, Toys, and Grandmaster Sprinklers to hatch high-age, high-rarity pets. Only submit pets that reach the 120 or 140 pet value to Joe.

For Legendary and Divine pets that are too young, you can sell them for eggs to try again, avoiding wasting egg resources. Submitting high-point pets also has gives you a good chance to obtain, such as multiple Safari Eggs and other pet shards.

This is a general guide to farming Lion Shards in Mega Safari event. Hopefully, this will help you reap the rewards during the event.

Grow a Garden has updated to the new season, Safari Harvest, on November 1st. This is a major themed update, with an atmosphere and mechanics very similar to Summer Harvest update four months ago, but in some aspects it's even better.

The core of this update is that players need to submit specific types of plants to Safari Joyce to earn points. So how exactly does this event work? What new items are there? Let's take a look.

Global Safari Points

This update introduces a Global Safari Points, replacing the previous mechanism of single-server or limited seeds.

Safari Joyce will request a specific type of plant every hour, such as woody plants, flower plants, fruits, etc., and these requests will rotate.

Players can open the in-game guide, search for the corresponding type under Plants category to find plants that meet the requirements and submit them. After submitting plants, players will receive two types of rewards: personal rewards and global rewards.

Global Rewards

Global Rewards are essentially milestone rewards for all players on the server. After accumulating a certain number of points, the rewards are distributed to all players.

The new Grow A Garden items rewards include new weather, items, and reduced cooldown times. Specific milestones and rewards are as follows:

• 250,000 Points: Orange Delight
• 2 Million Points: Explorer's Compass
• 20 Million Points: Safari Crate
• 50 Million Points: Zebra Whistle
• 125 Million Points: Safari Egg
• 300 Million Points: Protea
• 500 Million Points: Safari Rain Event

• 25 Billion Points: Event Shop Cooldown, 15:00

Individual Rewards

Besides the current divine pet Elephant, you also have a chance to get some powerful pets from previous seasons.

Orspecker

When a Safari Type Pet completes its ability, its cooldown is reduced by 14 seconds.

System Improvements

The pet shop interface has been simplified, and much of the dialogue has been removed. A clearer pet selling interface has been added, allowing players to select individual pets to sell. The previous Digging Quest, Spooky Chest, and Twilight Pack remain, and Forever Pack has returned.

Grow A Garden Safari Harvest adds many new pets and seeds, but to get good rewards, you'll need to take a lot of time on Safari Harvest event.

Whether managing a garden in real life or a game, while flowers and trees are beautiful, they often lack a more vibrant, outward life. Introducing small animals to your garden can effectively solve this problem!

For example, in the farm-themed idle game Grow A Garden, while the main gameplay involves planting new crops and selling them to earn Sheckles, which can then be exchanged for more and rarer seeds, raising pets is equally important.

These uniquely designed creatures not only provide companionship in a game lacking social features, but more importantly, each one possesses unique buffs that can improve your planting efficiency.

Below, we will explain the specific mechanics of Grow A Garden pet system in detail and list the pets at different levels that are worth prioritizing.

The Specific Role Of Pets

When you're planting in Grow A Garden, the main steps generally include acquiring seeds, using gear to complete or speed up planting, harvesting plants, and selling them. Pets can benefit you at each of these stages:

• Generate seeds that can be collected for free
• Provide usable gear or directly increase plant maturity speed/yield
• Generate Sheckles for you to collect

All pets in the game are divided into 7 rarity levels. The rarer the pet, the better the bonus, but the harder it is to obtain. Furthermore, not all pets have additional uses; some are simply part of the garden's "atmosphere."

It's worth noting that pet bonuses are stackable. Therefore, we recommend placing pets with better synergistic effects within your limited pet slots to maximize the value of each slot.

How To Obtain Pets?

First, please note that the initial limit on the number of pets you can place in your garden is 60. If you want to place more, you need to earn more currency by completing tasks to unlock the limit of expansion.

Currently, the primary way to acquire pets in the game is by farming and hatching pet eggs, and there are relatively many ways to obtain eggs (otherwise, it would be difficult to collect more pets!).

Eggs are sold at Pet Eggs Shop and Traveling Merchants. You can sell your gained Grow A Garden items to earn currency, then exchange more eggs you need. However, only three random types of eggs are available for exchange each time.

Additionally, during special game events, you can obtain limited-edition pet eggs by completing event quests or trading in the event-specific shop. For example, Ghoul Garden event, currently celebrating Halloween, is in full swing.

There is also a special Anti-Bee Egg that can be obtained through crafting. To do this, you need to collect the relevant materials beforehand, then talk to Bizzy Bear to activate the crafting system and complete the crafting process.

Crafting one Anti-Bee Egg requires 1 Bee Egg and 25 honey. In addition, Anti Bee Eggs can only randomly hatch the following 5 pets:

• Wasp - 55%
• Tarantula Hawk - 30%
• Moth - 13.75%
• Butterfly - 1%
• Disco Bee - 0.25%

How To Improve Your Pets' Abilities?

After hatching, pets will gradually grow on their own; this is essentially their built-in leveling-up mechanism. However, to ensure they grow on time, you must feed them regularly - that is, provide them with XP.

Generally, feeding pets once every 12 hours is sufficient. Available foods include treats like Lollipops or Maple Syrups. Furthermore, using toys to interact with pets, or placing pets with XP boosts in the garden, can accelerate the leveling of other pets.

Pet Mutations

Originally, Mutations mechanism only applied to plants, but after Pet Mutations Update added to the game this July, pets can also gain more or stronger boosts through Mutations.

To mutate your pet, you first need to ensure it's 50 years old. Then, take it to Pet Mutations station near Pet Eggs stall and consume Sheckles to complete the mutation.

Raising a pet to 50 years old requires a significant investment of upgrade materials, and mutations also require a large number of Sheckles. Therefore, you should carefully consider your options before attempting mutations to avoid waste.

Currently, the following mutations can be triggered (probabilities vary):

• Shiny Inverted
• Windy
• Frozen
• Golden
• Tiny
• Mega
• Tranquil
• Corrupted
• IronSkin
• Radiant
• Shocked
• Rainbow
• Ascended
