The Safari Harvest event in Grow a Garden introduces a unique and interactive item: the Safari Totem Charm. This special charm allows players to influence their server’s environment by summoning exclusive Safari-themed weather, which can lead to unique plant mutations and effects. This guide will walk you through exactly how to get the Safari Totem Charm and how to use it.
What is the Safari Totem Charm?
The Safari Totem Charm is a limited-time event item that functions as a weather-controlling tool. Once acquired, players can use it to randomly activate a Safari-themed weather condition on their server. These weather types, like Safari Rain or Safari Stampede, provide unique modifiers that affect how plants grow, making it a powerful item for dedicated gardeners.
Step 1: The Community Goal Requirement
Before you can even think about buying the charm, the entire Grow a Garden community must work together to unlock it.
The Goal: The global community must collectively contribute 9 Billion points to the Safari Harvest event.
How to Contribute: In the main lobby, you will find an NPC named Safari Joyce near a delivery container. She will request specific types of plants.
Earning Points: Harvest and deliver the plants she asks for. Each delivery adds to your personal contribution and, more importantly, to the global community score displayed above the delivery container.
Checking Progress: You can always check the total progress toward the 9 billion point goal on the event display.
The Safari Totem Charm will only appear in the shop once this global goal has been met.
Step 2: Purchasing the Charm from the Safari Shop
Once the 9 billion point community goal is achieved, you can purchase the charm.
Locate the Shop: Go to the Safari Shop, which is located near the event area in the lobby. The shop is run by an NPC named Wilderness Will.
Find the Item: Browse the shop’s list of items. The Safari Totem Charm is typically the ninth item on the list.
Currency: The charm is purchased using Sheckles, the game’s primary currency earned through gameplay and events.
Stock Refresh: If you don’t see the charm in the list, the shop’s stock refreshes approximately every 45 minutes. Wait for the refresh and check again.
How to Use the Safari Totem Charm
Using the charm is straightforward, but its effects depend on what the community has unlocked.
Equip the Charm: Hold the Safari Totem Charm in your hand.
Activate the Effect: Press and hold the Left Mouse Button to activate it. This will summon a random Safari weather effect on your server.
Available Safari Weather Effects
The charm can only summon weather that the community has unlocked through higher-tier global goals. These include:
Safari Rain: Unlocked at 500 Million points.
Safari Night: Unlocked at 7 Billion points.
Safari Oasis: Unlocked at 11 Billion points.
Safari Draught: Unlocked at 15 Billion points.
Safari Stampede: Unlocked at 21 Billion points.
Important Note: The Totem can only call weather that has already been unlocked. The more community goals are met, the more potent and varied the weather effects you can summon.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A: Each weather effect provides unique bonuses or challenges, such as increasing growth speed, changing mutation rates, or altering the value of certain plants. Experiment to see their full effects!
Q: I have enough Sheckles, but the charm isn’t in the shop. What’s wrong?
A: First, ensure the 9 billion point community goal has been completed. If it has, remember that the Safari Shop stock refreshes every 45 minutes, so you may need to wait.
