It’s time for this week’s Grow A Garden update announcement, and it’s a brand new event to replace all of the Halloween content we’ve had for the past three weeks.
This week’s update is the Grow A Garden Safari Harvest Event, and I can’t wait to have something new to play, after three weeks of Halloween-themed events. Keep on reading to find out more…
We’ve only ever had one three week update before, and that was the Lunar Glow Event, which ran for two weeks, and was extended to a third week, with the addition of the Blood Moon Event.
I loved that event, but the Halloween event in Grow A Garden was just too much waiting, waiting and waiting for many player’s liking. Waiting for the Halloween market. Waiting for the Grave Digger. Waiting for the Ancient Jack-O-Lantern. Waiting for the Witch. Waiting for the Dead Tree. Waiting for the Reaper. All different times – some on the hour, some half past the hour – just a nightmare in all honesty.
I think we’re going to be going back to the usual on-the-hour kind of event with the new Safari Harvest Event, which is so much easier, as you have just one event time to remember, and if you played the Summer Harvest update back in the middle of June, I think this new event is going to be very similar.
Here is the official announcement for this newest event:
“THIS WEEKEND
Safari Harvest + New Season 🏆🐘🫳
A new safari harvest event that requires teamwork and introduces new seeds, pets, weather, & more. Plus a new season pass with brand new rewards, QOL, and more!“
What do we know about the new Grow A Garden Safari Harvest Event? Well, if we look at the above image, we can see that the set-up is almost identical to that of the Summer Harvest Event.
If you didn’t play that event, or you need a refresher (it has been four months after all), every hour, you had to work with the other players in your server to mass hand-in fruit to the NPC in front of a tractor cart.
Every fruit you handed in, had a point value, with Prismatic fruits having more points than say a Strawberry (which is only a Common).
With every inventory you handed in, the points were added to a tally board in front of the tractor cart, showing the whole server’s tally together.
The more points the server handed in over, the more rewards you received at the end of the event (which was only 10 minutes long).
Points had tiers connected to rewards, allowing you to get the following tiers of rewards:
- Uncommon Rewards
- Rare Rewards
- Legendary Rewards
- Mythical Rewards
- Prismatic Rewards
The higher the tier of rewards, the better rewards you received, and here are just a few of the rewards you could get in the Summer Harvest: Watering Cans, Reclaimers, Honey Points, Crates, Seeds, Sprinklers, Seed Packs, Eggs, Pets and other Gear items.
What made the Summer Harvest so fun, was that you could get discontinued rewards and prizes from past events, like the Night Eggs, Night Seed Packs, Easter Egg Seed, Blood Kiwi, Moon Cat etc.
This reward format was enjoyed a lot by players, and it’s very possible we’re going to have something similar for the new Grow A Garden Safari Harvest Event too.
If we zoom in on the fruits in the cart in the spoiler image, we can see some obvious ones. There are carrots, bananas, bell peppers, sugar apples, blueberries and kiwis.
In the Summer Harvest, we had to hand in summer plants only, so we all had to set up our gardens for summer-only plants, for easy harvesting.
I remember using Pack Bees last time, to make my inventory bigger, and Grey Mouse pets to speed up the walk to the event display, but we now have Event Lanterns which will make it a lot easier than just walking back and forth, over and over.
We can see summer plants in the image, like the bell peppers and bananas, so I wonder which type of plants we’ll need for a “Safari” themed harvest event?
The Safari Harvest Event launches this Saturday, the 1st of November 2025. Check the time right here.
New Season Pass
We got the current Grow A Garden Game Pass a month ago, and there’s been a countdown ever since, and the devs have confirmed we’re going to get a brand new Season Pass as part of this update, so lots of new rewards to work for, and hopefully a new Store, as the current one has been trash in all honesty.
If you’re yet to finish all 50 steps within the current season’s pass, make sure you work on completing it over the next day or so, as you don’t want to miss out on the rewards, when it is replaced.
I’ll update this post whenever new spoilers are revealed…
