The Grow a Garden Mega Harvest Update launched on June 28, 2025, expanding the summer experience with a flood of new content, features, and seasonal rewards. This update builds on the Summer Harvest event, introducing the high-stakes Mega Harvest Event, new seeds and pets, shop improvements, and essential quality-of-life features. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest patch notes and how to maximize your gameplay during this event.
What is the Mega Harvest Event?
The Mega Harvest Event is a special version of the regular Summer Harvest event, triggering every hour with a chance to become a Mega Harvest. During Mega Harvest, all players receive double Summer Coins for participating, making it the best time to grind for event currency and climb through the Summer Harvest tiers faster.
Previous Admin Events
Leading up to Mega Harvest, several admin events were run, each adding unique mechanics and mutations to the game:
-
Under the Sea: Easier access to the Wet mutation and the ability for fruits to swim.
-
Fried Chicken: Introduction of the Cooked Owl and a chance to obtain the Fried mutation.
-
Solar Flare & Black Hole: New Verdant and Sundried mutations for additional gameplay variety.
Summer Shop and Georgia NPC
A major part of the update is the new Summer Shop, now operated by the Georgia NPC next to the central wagon. The Summer Shop uses Summer Coins as its currency—these are only obtainable by turning in summer fruits during the Summer Harvest or Mega Harvest.
-
You can now instantly trade all summer fruits in your inventory for Summer Coins with one click via Georgia, making shopping and participation more efficient.
-
The Summer Shop stocks exclusive, limited-time items including rare seeds, crates, the coveted Oasis Egg, and the new Hamster pet.
Summer Coins – How to Earn and Spend
Summer Coins are the central currency for this seasonal content. Earn them by delivering summer fruits to the wagon during event times. The Mega Harvest Event is the best time to collect coins due to the double payout.
Spend Summer Coins in the Summer Shop to purchase:
-
Event seeds like Lily of the Valley, Aloe Vera, and Burning Bud
-
The Oasis Egg (containing five new pets)
-
The Hamster pet
-
The Magnifying Glass
-
Returning favorites like Bee Egg, Night Staff, and Star Caller
Traveling Merchant – Limited-Time Offers
A new vendor, the Traveling Merchant, now spawns randomly near the Seed Shop with a rotation of exclusive goods. Check back regularly, as the stock is unique and changes frequently—perfect for those seeking rare or event-specific items.
New Seeds in Grow a Garden
Three new summer seeds have been added:
-
Aloe Vera
-
Lily of the Valley
-
Burning Bud
Each expands your options for summer farming, introducing new fruit types and mutation possibilities for this event and beyond.
Oasis Egg and New Pets
The Oasis Egg is a special hatchable item available in the Summer Shop. It contains five brand-new pets:
-
Hyacinth Macaw
-
Meerkat
-
Axolotl
-
Fennec Fox
-
Sand Snake
Each pet provides unique passive abilities, from increasing cooldown efficiency to duplicating shop purchases or even copying rare mutations from other players’ fruit. The Hamster pet (sold separately) offers a passive crafting speed boost while active.
Magnifying Glass – New Utility Feature
A key quality-of-life addition is the Magnifying Glass item, which allows you to instantly view the value of any fruit in your garden—no more guessing or uprooting to check prices. This simple tool streamlines your decision-making for which crops to harvest or mutate.
