The Ghoul Garden Part 3 Update has just been revealed for Grow a Garden, and it’s packed with new content — from a Reaper summoning ritual and limited seed rewards to three new pets, new mutation sprays, and a Glass Animals x Grow a Garden collaboration. This guide covers everything you need to know to prepare, grind, and get all limited-time items before they’re gone.
1. Event Overview — The Reaper Summoning Ritual
At the heart of this update is the Harvest Reaper Ritual, a new interactive event that rewards players with powerful limited items, including the Severed Spine Seed.
How It Works:
The Reaper periodically spawns on the map.
Around it, you’ll find bowls of fire — each representing a required plant submission.
You must submit specific plants (and sometimes their mutations) to light the bowls blue.
Once all bowls are completed, the ritual ends and you earn a reward chest.
Ritual Rewards Include:
Severed Spine Seed (Limited – only ~25,000 players can claim it)
5 Spooky Chests
3 Spooky Eggs
3 Halloween Gear Boxes
50 Candy Corn
There are multiple reward stages, but the Severed Spine Seed is the top prize — and it’s strictly limited, so finish early before it’s out of stock.
2. The Severed Spine Seed (Limited-Time Reward)
This is the centerpiece of the event — a Prismatic seed that’s both unique and exclusive.
Details:
Type: Prismatic
Ability: Summons a Reaper that punishes nearby thieves (exact mechanic still being tested).
Availability: Capped at roughly 25,000 global players.
Robux Purchase: Not directly available, but players can pay to skip ritual stages, offering a paid shortcut.
Performance:
Its base stats aren’t strong for weight or price, but the Reaper’s defensive effect makes it valuable for multiplayer and cooperative play.
3. Glass Animals x Grow a Garden Collab — Admin Abuse Event
A special crossover event called Glass Rain ties into the real-world band Glass Animals.
By attending the admin event, you can claim exclusive limited rewards:
Event Rewards:
Kiwi Fork Plant – Themed after the “Vampire Bat” single artwork.
Glass Cat Pet – Every 80–85 seconds, naps for 10–20 seconds.
During naps, nearby fruits (within 10–20 studs) grow 1.2x–4x larger.
Can apply the Glossy Mutation (30x multiplier).
Glass Dog Pet – Occasionally digs up random seeds.
Also applies the Glossy Mutation effect.
These are time-limited exclusives, available only to players who join during the event session.
4. New Spooky Chest — 3 New Seeds & 3 New Pets
The update adds a Spooky Chest that follows the game’s standard pattern (3 pets + 3 plants).
New Seeds:
| Seed | Rarity | Base Price | Huge Chance | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ghost Bush | Rare | Moderate | 1/200 | Spooky aesthetic plant |
| Devil Root | Epic | High | 1/250 | Strong Halloween theme |
| Wereplant | Divine | 170,000 | 1/400 | High price but heavy, not optimal for farming |
New Pets:
| Pet | Type | Ability | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scarab | Spooky | Nearby spooky plants grow 0.2–0.6 larger (32–60 studs) | Niche use |
| Tomb Marmmont | Halloween | Hides in tombstones; grants graveyard cosmetics | Cosmetic utility only |
| Mummy | Divine | Pets in chest gain +0.1–0.5 base weight (max +3.5kg) | Best pet in this batch — extremely useful for future events |
Ghostly Variants:
An Exotic version of this chest exists, which includes ghostly versions of all three pets.
5. Additional Pets Leaked
Two more pets were leaked and are likely to appear in the Halloween Market:
Woody (Legendary)
Applies the Leeched Mutation occasionally.
Moderate-tier utility pet.
Lich (Divine)
Spooky Lich Effect:
Boosts nearby spooky plants’ variant chance by 0.6–1.5x, growth speed by 1.4–3x, and size by 0.4–1x (within 32–60 studs).
XP Boost: +1.4–4 XP/sec for all active Halloween pets.
Great for event farming, though limited in long-term use after Halloween.
6. New Gears & Mutation Sprays
Mutation Sprays:
Four new sprays join the Halloween gear lineup:
- Bloodlit Spray
- Moonlight Spray
- Vamp Spray
- Spooky Spray
These are used to apply themed mutations to plants. You can likely obtain them through gear boxes or event rewards.
New Gear Items:
- Lich Crystal – “The power of the Lich lays dormant.” (Purpose not yet confirmed.)
- Reaper Token – Used in the Harvest Reaper Ritual; crucial for summoning mechanics.
7. Quality of Life Changes
One major convenience update is expected:
New Gear Teleport Button — replaces the old Recall Wrench item.
This change simplifies travel between your farm areas, seed plots, and gear station.
8. Bonus Additions & Leaks
Several new seeds were leaked — though not all may release this patch:
- Mine Root
- Dry Blood Rose
- Skull Flower
- Spider Vine
- Sugar Cane (non-Halloween)
- Ghost Pepper
- Vamp Bloom
- Wive Vine
Additionally, new mini achievements have been added under the Halloween Part 1 collection, rewarding players with:
- 5 Spooky Eggs
- 5 Gear Boxes
- 3 Halloween Crates
- 3 Pumpkin Crates
- 3 Spooky Chests
- Mausoleum cosmetic
- Web Fence decorative item
9. Cosmetics
A fresh batch of graveyard-themed cosmetics can be earned through:
- Tomb Marmmont pet digging
- Cosmetic Crates (event-exclusive)
These are visual-only and don’t provide gameplay advantages.
10. Strategy Tips
Join the Glass Animals event immediately for the limited cat and dog pets.
Complete the Reaper Ritual early — the Severed Spine will sell out fast.
Save your best plants for submission; the Reaper may request mutated variants.
Stack Mummy pets for future farming bonuses.
Use your Premium Gear Boxes strategically to farm mutation sprays.
Focus on XP gains — the Lich pet can rapidly boost your pet leveling speed.
The Ghoul Garden Part 3 update is one of Grow a Garden’s biggest Halloween expansions — combining exclusive collab rewards, limited rituals, and powerful event pets. The limited Severed Spine Seed will likely sell out within 24 hours, so act fast and prepare your plant lineup before the Reaper spawns. Between mutation sprays, XP-boosting pets, and the new spooky chest, this event offers plenty for both collectors and efficiency grinders.
