If you’ve been itching for something new in Grow a Garden, the wait is over. The devs just rolled out a massive update packed with fresh content, new systems, and a shiny event that’ll keep your hands busy in the soil.
First up, the Beanstalk Event. Players can now team up to help Jack grow his legendary beanstalk. By submitting plants with the right traits, you’ll climb skyward and grab rewards based on your contributions. At the top? An event shop nestled in the clouds where you can trade sheckles for all sorts of goodies. And if you’re dedicated enough to grow six different beanstalks, a portal shortcut lets you skip the climb. Along the way, you’ll unlock fence skins, fertilizer, seeds, pets, and more.
Then there’s the brand-new Garden Guide —basically the ultimate encyclopedia for the game. It keeps track of plants, pets, cosmetics, collections, and even achievements. Finish achievements to earn XP, score rewards, and level up your garden, with the current cap sitting at level 50. And here’s the kicker: completing every achievement set unlocks a special item that’s worth the grind.
Customization also got a glow-up. Fence skins have arrived with four fresh styles, and the plant catalog has expanded with quirky additions like the Poseidon Plant, Gleamroot, and the golden Canary Melon. Pets aren’t left behind either—say hello to the Golden Goose and several more critters waiting to be discovered.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper update without some quality-of-life tweaks. You can now feed your pets, sell them directly from the pet info menu, and even enjoy expanded cosmetic storage. A bunch of bugs got squashed, and daily quests are now neatly tucked into the Garden Guide. Oh, and yes—the Gnome Merchant finally got nerfed.
For collectors, new items like Sprout Seed Packs, Sprout Eggs, Silver Fertilizer, and Pet Pouches will shake up your progression. Plus, new cosmetics—like the Statue of Achievement (which bumps your backpack by +100 slots)—bring both flair and function.
And here’s a little tip: don’t forget that the game has codes you can redeem for extra goodies. They’re worth keeping an eye out for if you want to stay ahead.
This update feels like one of the biggest yet, layering fresh mechanics with tons of content for both newcomers and veterans. Honestly, it’s the perfect excuse to hop back into your garden and start experimenting.
