Grow A Garden Friendship Update Leaks, What is Coming?

The next big update in Grow A Garden! is coming—and it’s called the Friendship Update. Based on early leaks and testing footage, this update introduces a new gameplay mechanic, items, and even a mysterious flower pot you can climb. If you’re planning to jump in as soon as the update drops, here’s everything you need to know, what you should prepare ahead of time, and why this update might be the most grind-heavy yet.

What’s Coming in the Friendship Update?

The Friendship Update, originally known as the “Busier Bees” update, is centered around building relationships and pollination mechanics. Here’s what we know is included based on leaks from the test server:

• New Quests Involving Pollinated Fruits: You’ll need to grow and pollinate specific fruits and feed them to NPCs to progress.
• Friend Pot Item: A special pot you place in your garden that grows into a climbable flower tree. It’s both functional and fun for exploration.
• Pollen Radar Tool: A handy new feature that lets you easily identify which fruits in your garden are pollinated.
• New Seed Types: A few new seeds are being added, although specific names haven’t been confirmed due to NDA restrictions.
• Like Feature for Gardens: Players will soon be able to “like” each other’s gardens.
• New Pets: While they’ve been blurred in previews, new pets are part of this update as well.

What You Should Do Before the Update Drops

If you want to stay ahead and complete the update quickly, here are the most important things to do right now:

1. Buy Every Seed Available

You’ll need a huge variety of seeds for the upcoming quests. Make sure you have at least one of each of the following:

• Carrot
• Strawberry
• Blueberry
• Orange
• Tulip
• Tomato
• Corn
• Watermelon
• Pumpkin
• Apple
• Bamboo
• Coconut
• Cactus
• Dragon Fruit
• Mango
• Grape
• Pepper
• Cacao

Even if you think a seed isn’t important, grab it—you’ll regret skipping out when you get stuck on quest steps.

2. Pollinate Your Plants

Pollination is a big part of the update. Get as many bees in your garden as you can. Their role is to help pollinate fruits, which you’ll need for quest progression.

3. Grind Early

While nothing in this update is pay-to-win, it’s very time-consuming. You’ll need a lot of time to grow, pollinate, and harvest the right fruits. Start grinding now so your garden is well-stocked by the time the update releases.

How the Pollen Radar Works

This tool automatically identifies which of your fruits are pollinated, making it easier to collect exactly what you need for quests. Once it’s released, make this tool a priority to speed up your farming process.

Extra Features to Watch Out For

• Climbable Flower Tree: Using the new Friend Pot, you’ll be able to climb through a flower structure in your garden.
• Social Feature – Likes: Players can now like each other’s gardens, although this doesn’t affect gameplay much.
• New Pets & Seeds: Leaked but not fully revealed yet, the new pets and seeds will likely be part of future quests or collection goals.

The Friendship Update is shaping up to be one of the most content-packed updates in Grow A Garden! so far. From pollinated fruit mechanics to the new climbable tree structure, it’s full of creative and grind-heavy content. To avoid being stuck or left behind, start preparing now by collecting all seeds, increasing bee count, and maximizing your garden’s fruit diversity. This update isn’t going to be easy or fast—but for dedicated players, it looks like a lot of fun. Be ready to climb, pollinate, and grind your way through one of the biggest garden updates yet.
