The latest Grow a Garden update (v1.14.0) just dropped, and honestly? It’s a game-changer—literally. If you’ve been grinding to level up your pets, buckle up. The new Pet Mutation machine lets you take any pet that’s hit level 50 and mutate it into one of 12 epic variants, complete with boosted stats, wild new looks, and in some cases, unique abilities. It’s like giving your pet a second life—with superpowers.
And that’s just the beginning.
Prehistoric Expansion Grows Even Wilder
The prehistoric event isn’t just back—it’s bigger than ever. You can now upgrade the Dino Machine up to five times using prehistoric fruit, unlocking even more powerful perks and rewards with each step. Plus, there are new bonus quests, expanded crafting recipes, and a fresh set of dinos to befriend (hello, Spinosaurus!).
If you’re like me and love collecting everything, there’s more to dig into. Literally. Crack open the new Primal Egg to hatch one of six dinosaur pets, or try your luck with the Archaeologist Crate filled with dino-themed cosmetics.
More Plants, Toys, and Treats
Need to grow your garden game even more? Check out the new lineup of plants like the Giant Pinecone or the lava-inspired Grand Volcania. On the pet side, there are new toys and treats to boost passives or give XP over time. The Level Up Lollipop is also a handy little item if you’re trying to fast-track a pet’s growth.
Under-the-Hood Fixes & Flavor
From new admin weather effects to more mutation combinations and buffs to items like the Bone Blossom, the devs clearly went all-in on this one. There’s also a new Squirrel passive, performance improvements, and even a fix for the corn. Yep, they heard you.
Pro tip: The game also has codes —don’t sleep on those. They’re updated regularly and can give you that extra edge.
