The Friendship Update has just landed in Grow a Garden, bringing with it exciting new content, quality-of-life improvements, and a whole lot of bee-themed fun. From the highly anticipated Bizzier Bees questline to a fresh batch of seeds, pets, and cosmetics, this update is packed with plenty of new ways to enjoy the game. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s new in the world of Grow a Garden.
Friendship Features
The Friendship Update introduces several new features designed to bring players closer together. Now you can share the garden experience with your friends like never before:
