Roblox’s Grow a Garden just dropped its Friendship Update—and it’s packed with exciting new features, quality-of-life changes, and a big expansion to the limited-time Bee event.
Whether you’re here for the new garden mechanics or just trying to snag some rare gear, this update is worth diving into. Here’s your full look at what’s new!
Grow a Garden Friendship Update – Codes, Bee Expansion
“Better With Friends” – New Social Features
The core theme of this update is simple: gardening is better with friends. One of the standout features is the ability to like other players’ gardens. When someone visits your plot, they can tap a thumbs-up icon, and your total likes will be publicly displayed. It’s a fun social mechanic that rewards creativity and gives players something new to flex besides just plant rarity.
This feature encourages community interaction and adds a new layer of progression beyond just harvesting crops.
Bee Event Expansion – More to Buzz About
If you loved the Bee Event from the last update, you’ll be happy to know it’s getting a major expansion. The update promises:
- New Bee-related Seeds
- Additional Bee Gear
- Possibly More Bee-themed Cosmetics
While the developers haven’t confirmed if these seeds will be added to the Flower Seed Pack or the Seed Shop, what we do know is that new seeds are coming—and they could include rare varieties.
New Gear: The Pollen Radar
One of the most intriguing additions is a brand-new piece of gear: the Pollen Radar.
This tool helps you identify which plants on your plot are currently pollinated, which can be a huge time-saver. Previously, it was difficult to tell at a glance which fruit were pollinated and which weren’t. With the Pollen Radar, that’s no longer a problem.
The exact cost hasn’t been revealed yet, but based on its utility, it’s safe to assume it’ll be worth the investment—especially for players focused on plant breeding and mutation hunting.
New Seeds, Pets & Cosmetics
Alongside the bee content, the update introduces brand new seeds, pets, and gear. While specifics are still rolling out, here’s what’s confirmed so far:
- New Seed Types (likely flower or fruit types)
- New Pets to accompany you in the garden
- New Gear, like the Pollen Radar
- Cosmetics for more visual customization
Expect to see these added to the in-game shop or through event participation.
New Mutations Incoming?
If you’ve played Grow a Garden for a while, you already know the devs love throwing in new plant mutations with each update. This one is no exception.
Though not officially confirmed, there’s a very high chance we’ll be getting new rare mutations to experiment with. If you’re aiming to unlock the Disco Fruit or other ultra-rare plants, log in at least 30 minutes before updates—devs often host surprise events that boost mutation chances before rollout.
5 Billion Visits – Possible New Code?
Here’s something big: Grow a Garden just hit a whopping 5 billion visits—and it’s only been live for around 1.5 to 2 months. That’s insane growth, and fans are speculating that we might get a new code to celebrate this massive milestone.
So far, the game has only released one code, which gave out the Bug Egg—an incredibly strong free item. If a 5B code drops, it could be just as valuable. Keep an eye out, and we’ll update you the moment it goes live.
The Friends Update brings a refreshing new layer to Grow a Garden. Between the social mechanics, Bee event expansion, new gear, and possible celebration code, there’s a lot to be excited about.
