The Beanstalk Update in Grow a Garden introduces exciting new areas, including a Second Island packed with rewards and event content. Many players get confused about how to actually unlock the portal, so here’s a clear breakdown of everything you need to do.
Step 1: Find the Beanstalk Portals
When the Beanstalk Event begins, you’ll notice two portals tied to the giant Beanstalk:
- The First Portal (near the base) → Unlocks a smaller floating island with lore items and decorations.
- The Second Portal (higher up) → Unlocks the Second Island, which contains new NPCs, seeds, pets, and other exclusive rewards.
Our focus is on unlocking the second portal, since that’s the one leading to the bigger rewards.
Step 2: Contribute to Growing the Beanstalk
To activate the second portal, you’ll need to help grow the Beanstalk six times.
Here’s how it works:
- Every cycle, the Beanstalk asks for a specific category of plants (like prickly, fruity, or woody).
- Contribute the required plants to complete a growth stage.
- Repeat this process six separate times — not six plants at once, but six full contributions.
Once you’ve done this, the Beanstalk will be tall enough to activate both portals.
Step 3: Enter the Second Island
After the sixth growth contribution, the top portal lights up and becomes usable. Stepping into it will teleport you to the Second Island, which offers:
- New event-exclusive seeds and pets
- Shops with special items (like Golden Goose eggs or rare plants)
- Limited-time collectibles such as fence skins
Why This Matters
Unlocking the Second Island is essential if you want to:
- Farm the new Beanstalk-exclusive plants
- Collect rare pets like the Golden Goose
- Access Goliath’s shop for limited items
- Max out your event rewards before the update ends
Quick Tips for Unlocking Fast
- Save plants in advance – Have extras of each category ready.
- Check plant requests hourly – The Beanstalk cycles requests regularly.
- Team up with other players – More contributions = faster growth for everyone.
The Second Island is the heart of the Beanstalk Update in Grow a Garden. By simply contributing six times to the Beanstalk’s growth, you’ll unlock both portals and gain access to all the best event rewards. Don’t miss out—this is your chance to farm rare pets, seeds, and cosmetics before the event ends.
