The Ancestral Horn is one of the most sought-after Safari-themed gear items introduced in the Safari Harvest event for the popular Roblox game, Grow a Garden. This unique item is not just a cosmetic; it has a powerful function that can significantly aid your gardening efforts. However, obtaining it requires community-wide effort and a bit of patience.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about getting the Ancestral Horn and how to use it effectively.
What is the Safari Harvest Event?
The Safari Harvest is a limited-time community event in Grow a Garden. During this event, all players work together to complete tasks and contribute points towards global community milestones. Reaching these milestones unlocks various rewards for everyone, including access to rare items in the special event store.
How to Get the Ancestral Horn in Grow a Garden
Getting the Ancestral Horn is a two-step process that involves the entire player base and your own diligence.
Step 1: Unlock It Through Community Milestones
The Ancestral Horn is locked behind a specific community goal. The entire player community must collectively gather a total of 240 billion contribution points.
How it works: By actively participating in the Safari Harvest event—such as completing event tasks and harvesting plants—you and other players earn points that add to the global counter.
The Reward: Once the 240 billion point milestone is reached, the Ancestral Horn becomes available for purchase in the Safari Shop for all players.
This means you cannot get the horn until the entire community has worked together to hit this target.
Step 2: Purchase from the Safari Shop
After the milestone is unlocked, you can buy the Ancestral Horn directly from the Safari Shop.
Important Tip: Due to its status as a rare item, the Ancestral Horn does not have a 100% permanent stock in the shop. Its availability can fluctuate.
To increase your chances of finding it in stock, it is recommended to check the Safari Shop regularly, approximately every 10 to 15 minutes. Persistence is key.
Pro Tip: Boost Your Luck
Participating more frequently in the Safari Harvest event does more than just help the community. Your active participation can also increase your personal boosted luck. This boosted luck stat improves the probability of rare items, like the Ancestral Horn, appearing in the Safari Shop for you.
How to Use the Ancestral Horn for Safari Mutations
Once you have successfully purchased the Ancestral Horn, its function is what makes it so valuable.
Equip the Horn: Hold the Ancestral Horn in your hand from your inventory.
Activate Its Power: Press and hold the left mouse button to blow the horn.
Watch the Magic: When used, the horn summons a fairy that will fly around your garden. This fairy actively searches for any plant that does not already have a Safari mutation.
Apply a Random Mutation: When the fairy finds a viable plant, it will apply a random Safari-themed mutation to it. A common example is the Lush mutation, which can appear on plants like sugar apples.
What If All Plants Are Mutated? If every plant in your garden already has a Safari mutation, the ability will not work. A text message will appear on your screen stating that there are no plants available to modify.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: I contributed to the 240 billion points, but the Ancestral Horn isn’t in my Safari Shop. Why?
A: The horn is a rare item and isn’t always in stock. You need to check the Safari Shop frequently, as its stock refreshes periodically.
Q: What does the Ancestral Horn do?
A: It summons a fairy that automatically finds a plant without a Safari mutation and gives it a random one, such as the Lush mutation.
Q: Can I use the Ancestral Horn if my plants already have mutations?

Q: How can I make the Ancestral Horn appear in the shop?
A: Be an active participant in the Safari Harvest event. The more you play, the higher your “boosted luck,” which increases the chance for rare items to spawn in the shop for you.
Q: Is the Ancestral Horn a permanent item?
A: Yes, once purchased, it is a permanent piece of gear in your inventory that you can use anytime, even beyond the event (though its mutation effect is specific to Safari-themed mutations).
Conclusion
The Ancestral Horn is a powerful and unique tool in Grow a Garden’s Safari Harvest event. Obtaining it requires a combined effort from the community to reach the 240 billion point milestone, followed by vigilant checking of the Safari Shop due to its rare stock status. Its ability to automatically apply random Safari mutations makes it an incredibly useful item for any dedicated gardener looking to complete their collection. Stay active during the event, check the shop often, and soon you’ll be blowing your own Ancestral Horn to bring magical mutations to your garden.
