In the last few hours, without any prior notice, Grow a Garden has received a secret update that no one expected and that has left players stunned. While many have already noticed it, others are just beginning to discover the changes and additions this version brings. And this is not just a simple patch we’re looking at an update packed with new content, unique weather events, and brand-new community rewards.

Safari Event

If there’s one thing that became clear after last Saturday’s update, it’s that Grow a Garden fans are more active than ever. The Safari Event, recently introduced as a community activity where all players must contribute points to reach global milestones, has been a total success.

In just two and a half days, the community reached the maximum contribution goal, something that once seemed impossible. The numbers speak for themselves the counter has already surpassed 55 billion points, a figure that reflects the dedication and collective enthusiasm to complete every objective. Players aren’t just participating; they’re doing so with an intensity that has even surprised the developers.

Many compare this achievement to the major global events from previous seasons, but the current pace is unprecedented. It’s clear that Grow a Garden still has a loyal player base that gets excited with every new challenge, especially when valuable rewards are at stake.

New Community Rewards

One of the first visible changes after the update is the expansion of the Safari Event. Previously, players could reach a limited progress cap of 25 billion points, but now the milestones have been extended up to 95 billion, which unlocks a new merchant.

In addition, the frequency of in-game events has been adjusted: the Chop Event, which used to appear at longer intervals, now occurs every 15 minutes. This allows players to earn more rewards from the Safari Shop without having to wait as long a change that has been enthusiastically welcomed by the community.

Rewards:

- Event Shop Luck
- Safari Typhoon
- Pet Shard Jumbo
- Mega Lollipop
- Safari Traveling Merchant

Along with all this, several bugs detected during the previous event were also fixed, improving the game’s overall stability and performance.

Broken Rewards

Among all the rewards you can obtain with the help of other Grow a Garden players, there are two that stand out above the rest.

Pet Shard Jumbo

Without a doubt, the most striking element of this entire update is the Pet Shard Jumbo. This item applies the “jumbo” mutation to the selected pet, increasing its size and granting it an additional 50% experience boost. But that’s not all for every nearby Safari plant, the size and growth rate of those plants increase even further, creating a chain effect that can fill your entire garden with gigantic plants in just a few minutes.

This effect has been described by players as “broken” or “overpowered,” as it multiplies both the productivity and the visual impact of the garden in a way never seen before.

Mega Lollipop

This seemingly simple item has an impressive effect: it instantly raises a pet to level 100. For newer players, this might look like just a quick level-up, but those who have been in Grow a Garden for a while know exactly what it means. Reaching level 100 doesn’t just enhance a pet’s stats — it also boosts the power of its abilities, which can completely change the way the game is played.
