The long-awaited summer update for Grow a Garden is finally here—and it’s packed with content that’s shaking up the entire gameplay experience. With over 21 millions of players logging in daily, this seasonal overhaul is one of the most significant changes the game has seen so far. This is also record taking from Fortnite. From brand-new seeds to exclusive event rewards, here’s a full look at what’s blooming this summer in Grow a Garden game.
A New Season, A New Event in Grow a Garden
At the heart of the update is the Summer Harvest Event, replacing familiar faces like Queen Bee and Bizzy Bear with Georgia, a cheerful NPC parked beside a quirky two-wheeled harvest cart in the central plaza.
How It Works?
Unlike past events that focused on solo play, this new seasonal activity is built around teamwork. Everyone on the server contributes to a shared harvest goal, and the rewards scale based on community effort.
- Starts Every: ~50 to 60 minutes
- Runs For: 10 minutes
- Visible Timer: Above the cart to track next round
To take part:
- Buy and plant summer seeds from Tom’s Seed Shop or open summer seed packs.
- Grow and harvest crops before the event begins.
- When it’s time, turn them in by pressing ‘E’ (or tapping if you’re on mobile).
- Collaborate with others to unlock higher reward tiers.
Crop Value System
Each submitted crop earns points based on its rarity:
- Common: 1 point
- Uncommon: 2 points
- Rare: 3 points
- Legendary: 4 points
- Mythical: 5 points
- Divine: 6 points
The higher the rarity, the more you’ll boost your server’s total.
Point Thresholds & Rewards
Here’s how the server’s collective score translates into reward tiers:
- Common Tier: 10 – 500 points
- Uncommon Tier: 501 – 2,000 points
- Rare Tier: 2,001 – 5,000 points
- Legendary Tier: 5,001 – 8,500 points
- Mythical Tier: 8,501 – 11,000 points
- Divine Tier: 11,001 – 14,000 points
- Prismatic Tier: 14,001+ points
Reaching higher tiers opens up rarer drops and exclusive items.
