The Grow a Garden Harvest Event is a recurring, server-wide community event that challenges players to donate plants from the latest Summer Seed Shop and Seed Packs in exchange for valuable rewards. Taking place every hour for a limited 10-minute window, the event is fast-paced, cooperative, and packed with chances to earn rare seeds, tools, crates, and exclusive items like the Ember Lily and Celestiberry.
Here’s a complete guide on how to join, contribute, and unlock the highest reward tiers in the Summer Harvest event.
How the Summer Harvest Event Works
The Summer Harvest cart can be found in the center of the map, guarded by an NPC named Georgia. A countdown timer floats above the cart, showing when the next round will begin. When the event starts, players can contribute eligible crops by walking up to the cart and pressing E (or tapping on mobile).
Key Details:
-
Event Timing: Every hour, active for 10 minutes
-
Location: Central cart marked with “Summer Harvest has arrived”
-
Contribution Method: Press E (PC) or tap (mobile) near the cart
-
Eligible Plants: Only crops from the current Summer Seed Shop or Seed Packs
-
Minimum Requirement: Donate at least one plant to qualify for rewards
-
Participation Type: Server-wide collaboration; rewards depend on total server points
Players who don’t donate at least one summer plant will not receive any rewards, even if the server hits a high-tier goal.
Harvest Point System Based on Plant Rarity
Each plant donated contributes a set number of Harvest Points based on its rarity:
-
Common – 1 point
-
Uncommon – 2 points
-
Rare – 3 points
-
Legendary – 4 points
-
Mythical – 5 points
-
Divine – 6 points
Using higher-rarity plants increases your server’s total score, which unlocks better rewards for everyone.
Reward Tiers Based on Server Point Total
Once the 10-minute event ends, the server’s total Harvest Points determine which reward tier is unlocked:
-
Common: 10–2,000 points
-
Uncommon: 2,001–4,000 points
-
Rare: 4,001–6,000 points
-
Legendary: 6,001–8,000 points
-
Mythical: 8,001–10,000 points
-
Divine: 10,001–12,000 points
-
Prismatic: 12,000+ points
Each tier unlocks a pool of rewards, and all qualifying players will receive random items from that pool.
