Curious about the next update for Grow A Garden? Since its launch in March 2025, this popular Roblox game receives weekly patches, consistently introducing new items, diverse plant and pet variants, and exciting features to keep players engaged. Some special events even include intricate Obbies and hidden areas waiting to be explored.
Each update for this game consistently delivers a host of new unlockables, including unique Grow A Garden pets with special themed effects, fresh seeds for your garden, and sometimes even unprecedented mutations. The most rewarding events often involve deeper engagement, such as exploring new zones beyond your primary garden plot. The effort is well worth the prizes, so this guide covers everything about upcoming updates, current in-game items you should acquire, and details on Admin Abuse events.
When is the Next Grow A Garden Update?
The next Grow A Garden update is scheduled for Saturday, October 11, at 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT. This weekend introduces the Ghoul Garden event, kicking off Grow A Garden`s Halloween celebrations. Players can anticipate spooky themes, Halloween-inspired weather, seeds, pets, and various quality-of-life enhancements. Confirmed new shops include Spooky Seeds, Creepy Critters, and Devilish Decor.
During a past Admin Abuse event, moderator Jhailatte mentioned that developers are planning to “release some more long-term content soon.” This could refer to persistent features like evolving seeds and season passes, or perhaps new permanent additions to the game in the near future.
Current Grow A Garden Event
The ongoing Grow A Garden event commenced on Saturday, October 4, at 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT and will run for one week. This Chubby Chipmunk update introduces a special central map event featuring a free Chubby Chipmunk pet. Placing this pet in your garden will cause it to feed periodically, spawning an Acorn on the map. Collecting these Acorns grants one of the following rewards:
- Watering Can x15 – 14.12%
- Event Lantern x20 – 12.24%
- Godly Sprinkler x2 – 11.29%
- Legendary Egg x1 – 11.29%
- Reclaimer x3 – 10.35%
- Nutty Crate x1 – 8.47%
- Silver Fertilizer x1 – 6.59%
- Nutty Chest x1 – 5.65%
- Master Sprinkler x1 – 5.18%
- Medium Treat x1 – 3.29%
- Medium Toy x1 – 3.29%
- Mythical Egg x1 – 2.82%
- Nutty Chest x2 – 2.35%
- Grandmaster Sprinkler x1 – 2.35%
- Rainbow Fertilizer x1 – 0.47%
- Pet Shard Nutty x1 – 0.24%
Furthermore, a vendor accepts up to 1,500 points worth of plants from players. Once this threshold is met, the “Nutty Fever” weather condition activates for 5 minutes, dramatically increasing the Chubby Chipmunk`s feeding rate to once every 30 seconds. This plant contribution is player-specific, meaning other players cannot contribute to your personal progress, but your progress is saved even if you switch servers.

Admin Abuse Events
Prior to each major update, typically an hour before it launches, Grow A Garden hosts an “Admin Abuse” event to celebrate the new content. These events are often characterized by administrators like Jandel causing playful chaos across the servers. During this chaotic hour, players can experience unique Admin-exclusive weather effects, find shops stocked with exceptionally rare items, and participate in minigames that offer cosmetics and other valuable rewards. Occasionally, participants might even receive a free ultra-rare pet, such as the Chicken Zombie or Junkbot.
It is strongly advised to join these events on a private server or one with very few players. This precaution helps avoid issues where other players` overgrown plants might obstruct valuable information or hinder your progress in prize giveaways. For instance, during a “Find the Pet” weather effect, if the target pet is hidden within someone`s sprawling Briar Rose, you risk missing out on a rare reward. It`s also a good idea to stay logged in briefly after the official event ends, as administrators sometimes surprise players with an encore, offering additional giveaways and new weather effects.
