The Fall Market update in Grow A Garden is packed with new content, including seasonal pets, seeds, gear, and a brand-new mutation mechanic tied to fall weather. This guide breaks down everything you need to know to get started and complete the update efficiently — from unlocking shops to choosing the best seeds and pets for your garden.
How to Start the Fall Event
To begin progressing through the Fall Market update, you’ll need to interact with the Fall Bloom Progress Tree. This tree tracks your contributions and determines when you unlock access to fall-exclusive shops and content.
Here’s how it works:
- The tree will request different plant types: vegetables, fruits, and tropical plants.
- You must grow and contribute a variety of seed types to fulfill these requirements.
- The more you contribute, the faster you’ll unlock access to the Fall Egg, seed shop, pet shop, and gear shop.
Tip: Just like the Beanto event, balance matters. Don’t focus only on one seed category — make sure your garden is diversified.
All New Fall Pets and Their Abilities
Swan
- This is the rarest pet from the Fall Egg.
- Every 25 minutes, it visits another player’s pet and activates that pet’s ability.
- Additionally, every 5 minutes, it applies a Graceful Mutation to a nearby fruit.
- This pet encourages cooperative play and can help create rare fruit combinations.
Badger
- Every 5 minutes, the Badger digs for 10 seconds, spreading mud.
- Fruits within 20 studs have a 10% chance of gaining the Muddy Mutation.
- This pet is easy to use and helps automate mutation farming in your garden.
Grizzly Bear
- A legendary-tier pet.
- Every 4 minutes, there’s a 10% chance it applies the Fall Mutation to a nearby fruit.
- It also slightly increases your player size, making certain tasks easier.
Robin
- Counterpart to the Grizzly Bear.
- It decreases your player size, which is useful for navigating tight garden spaces or collecting in smaller zones.
Barn Owl
- This pet offers two passive bonuses:
- Pets bought directly from shops have increased weight.
- All active fruit-type pets receive a passive XP boost.
- Excellent utility pet for those farming long-term and wanting fast leveling.
Space Scroller
- Every 500 to 1000 seconds, it has a 20% chance to apply the Void-Touched Mutation.
- This is one of the most powerful pets added in the update due to the rarity and impact of the Void-Touched status.
- Ideal for mid- to late-game players looking for powerful fruit builds.
Marmup
- Every 200 seconds, it burrows underground.
- Finding it grants a fall-related reward (could be currency, mutation, or cosmetic).
- A fun and interactive pet that adds some gameplay depth.
Chipmunk
- Has a 6% chance to stash the harvest tool when used, meaning it won’t consume a charge.
- This makes it highly valuable for resource conservation, especially during long harvest sessions.
Red Grill
- When a fall-type pet finishes its ability, it starts its cooldown with 30 seconds less.
- A support pet that speeds up rotation for your fall mutation farming builds.
Sugar Glider
- Every 700 seconds, it glides between three fruits and copies one mutation from each.
- It then deploys those mutations to the next fruit it touches.
- This pet allows you to scale rare mutations across your garden more easily.
New Seeds and the Best One to Grind
This update introduces several new seeds, including one transcendent-tier seed and other seasonal options. The standout among them is the Maple Resin.
Maple Resin
- It is the transcendent seed of the event.
- Offers the best overall stats and sale value.
- If you’re aiming for efficiency, this is the seed to prioritize and grind heavily.
Golden Peach
- Another high-tier seed worth grinding for.
- Good value and works well with mutation-focused setups.
All seeds come with new base weight and sale price values. You’ll find multiple seed shops scattered throughout the map to purchase them once unlocked via contribution.
New Gear: Maple Sprinkler
The Maple Sprinkler is the newest gear item added in the event. Functionally, it’s similar to standard sprinklers, but it likely provides a visual or slight efficiency bonus for fall-themed seeds.
If you’re already running high-level sprinklers, this might be more of a cosmetic upgrade than a must-have, but it pairs well with the fall aesthetic.
Event Cosmetic and RDC Reward
A new RDC reward cosmetic is also included in this update. It’s believed to be tied to the Admin Abuse or developer update events.
Additionally, the Fall Weather Effect triggers every hour. During this time, fruits have a higher chance to receive the Fall Mutation, which is synergistic with the Grizzly Bear and similar pets.
Final Thoughts
The Fall Market update brings a lot of progression potential for new and returning players alike. Here’s a quick recap:
- Contribute multiple seed types to unlock event shops.
- Farm the Maple Resin for top-tier value.
- Aim for the Space Scroller or Swan for rare mutation generation.
- Use pets like the Red Grill and Sugar Glider to accelerate fruit mutations.
- Keep an eye out for the Fall Weather Event every hour for mutation stacking.
Whether you’re looking to stockpile mutations, farm for cash, or collect pets, this event has something for everyone.
