Grow a Garden Tips and Tricks

Grow a Garden is a popular gardening sim on Roblox where you get to manage and decorate multiple gardens with crops and pets. In the beginning, with limited Sheckles and resources, the idea of becoming a quadrillionaire, or just a trillionaire, might feel way out of reach.

But it’s totally doable if you make the right moves. Earning big comes down to smart garden management and placing higher-value pets. If you’re wondering what beginner tips can help you get better at GaG Roblox, this guide has got you covered.

Daily Quests and Free Seed Pets

As a new player, the smartest thing to do is take on daily quests regularly to earn free seed packs. You’ll find them by talking to Eloise at the Gear Shop. She’ll hand out three quests at a time, including things like planting carrots, harvesting blueberries, or earning Sheckles. You’ll begin with just 20 Sheckles, enough to plant two carrots, and from there, you can start growing crops and stacking up cash as you complete tasks.

These normal seed packs can reward you with slightly more profitable seeds like Pumpkin, Pineapple, Dragon Fruit, Cactus, and Mango. Once you’ve saved up enough money by selling crops, go for a Common Egg (50,000 Sheckles each) and try hatching Golden Labs or Dogs; they can dig up free seeds for you, too. If you get a bunny, that’ll also help boost your carrot value early on. Later, you can aim for Red Fox, Snail, and even fruit-stealing pets.

Play with Friends for Sheckles Boost

Grow a Garden rewards you for playing with friends. For every friend on your server, you get a 10% Friends Boost, which adds up to your Sheckles earnings. So, if three friends are with you, that’s a 30% bonus when selling crops to Steven at the Sell Stuff stall.

It’s one of the easiest ways to increase your income at the start, so make sure your friends hop in. If public servers are packed, and you can’t invite anyone, you can create a free VIP private server and have up to four friends join for a 40% Sheckles bonus.

Participate in Weekly Event

Almost every seven days (usually on Saturdays), a new update drops with fresh weekly events or a continuation of the last one. These events let you finish various tasks to earn special event currency, which you can spend at the event shop.

For beginners, it’s a great chance to grab profitable seeds, pets, and gear to increase your Sheckles income or unlock themed cosmetics. Event packs like Summer Seed Packs, Ancient Seed Packs, or Zen Seed Packs often hand out more valuable crops without costing Sheckles. Some even sell for as much as top-tier Legendaries, Mythicals, or Prismatics, so try not to miss these events.

Join GaG Stock Discord

Sam’s Seed Shop refreshes every five minutes with a changing stock of crop seeds. Since not everything appears at once, some seeds can be tricky to catch if you’re offline.

If you’re trying to grab high-profit Prismatics like Beanstalk, Ember Lily, Burning Bud, Sugar Apple, or Giant Pinecone, it’s worth joining Grow a Garden’s official stock Discord channel. It pings you whenever new seeds hit the shop, so you can hop in at the right time and snag the best crops before they disappear.

Use Gear and Pets for Stacking Mutations

If you stack more than one on the same plant, crop mutations can raise a fruit’s value from just a few thousand to millions or more. Since mutations only show up during weather events, and you need to be online to catch them, there are a few ways to speed things up.

You can craft or buy tools like the Lightning Rod, Star Caller, or Night Staff and set them to target specific crops in your garden. Pets like Dragonfly, T-Rex, and Kitsune also increase your chances of getting mutations, though these ones are harder to get. For starters, basic critters like Bees and Honey Bees from the Bee Egg, or creatures like the Sea Turtle, Toucan, Praying Mantis, and Scarlet Macaw can also be a good choice.

Hop in an Hour Before the Update

About an hour before the weekly event drops, admin abuse usually kicks off, where Jandel, the dev of Roblox GaG, starts triggering special mutation events. You’ll often see old favorites like Black Hole (Voidtouched 135x), Meteor Shower (Meteoric 125x), and Disco Event (Disco 125x), along with newer ones like Radioactive Carrot (Radioactive 80x) and Brains (Infected 75x).

During this time, both the Event and Sam Seed shops tend to restock, offering rare seeds, tools, and eggs. Even after the update goes live, these surprise events and boosts sometimes continue, making it the best time to jump in and enjoy this gardening sim.

Unlock More Pet Slots

Pets are super useful in this Roblox experience. Some, like the Mole, Pancake Mole, and Crab, can bring you free tools, sprinklers, and Sheckles, while others, like the Giant Ant, Red Giant Ant, Deer, and Spotted Deer, help by giving duplicate fruits when you harvest.

Initially, you can only place three pets on your farm to benefit from their passive effects. But if you want to progress quickly, you’ll need more animals roaming around. To unlock extra pet slots, you can either trade aged pets to the Egg Salesman or buy slots with Robux from the game shop.

Buy from Traveling Merchants

Finally, one of the most useful features in Grow a Garden is the Traveling Merchants’ rotation. They show up roughly every four hours near the crop stand, offering exclusive items from past events. Here’s a quick rundown of each merchant and what they sell:
