The new Smithing update in Grow a Garden is a game-changer for dedicated gardeners. It introduces four specialized crafting stations, allowing you to create your own seeds, pets, gear, and cosmetics. This means you’re no longer solely reliant on purchasing packs from the shop. You can now craft powerful seeds yourself using basic ingredients gathered from your garden.
This guide will focus exclusively on the seed crafting station, detailing all the known recipes and the exact process to create them.
How to Start Seed Crafting
The best part about the seed crafting system is its accessibility. There are no level restrictions or prerequisite quests you need to complete. The only requirement is gathering the necessary materials and currency.
To begin crafting your seeds, follow these simple steps:
Go to the main lobby and locate the Blacksmith NPC.
Look to the left of the Blacksmith; you will find a banner labeled “Craft Seeds.” Approach the crafting station.
Press the E key to interact with it. This will open a menu listing all the craftable seeds.
Select the seed you wish to craft from the list.
Click the green “Craft” button.
A confirmation window will appear, showing the required materials and Sheckles cost. Confirm to proceed.
Your character will hand over the materials and Sheckles, and the crafting timer will begin.
Once the timer is complete, return to the same crafting station to collect your newly crafted seed.
