Grow a Garden Reclaimer Guide, How to Get & Use!

Grow a Garden starting your garden is easy, but what happens when you want to switch out crops without losing your seeds? That’s where the Reclaimer comes in. This handy tool converts any planted crop back into its seed form—so you can experiment with new layouts, clear space for limited-time plants, or recover rare seeds you’d otherwise lose. Below, you’ll find everything you need to know to get your own Reclaimer and put it to work.

What Is the Reclaimer?

The Reclaimer is a crafting item in Grow A Garden that “reclaims” planted crops, instantly turning them back into seeds in your inventory. Instead of digging up and losing a plant forever, you simply use the Reclaimer to retrieve the original seed—no shekels wasted, no crops lost.

Materials Needed

To craft one Reclaimer, you’ll need:

• 500,000 shekels
• 1 Harvest Tool (any common harvest tool will do)
• 1 Common Egg (from the event shop or seasonal rewards)

Where to Craft

You won’t find Reclaimers in the Gear Shop. Instead:

1. Open the Cosmetic Shop.
2. Switch to the Crafting tab (it shares space with cosmetic crates).
3. Locate the Reclaimer recipe—scroll down past seed packs and cosmetic items.

Crafting Steps

1. Collect materials: Sell crops or complete events to amass 500,000 shekels, grab a common egg from the Summer Harvest shop, and keep a Harvest Tool in your inventory.
2. Initiate crafting: Click on the Reclaimer recipe and confirm you have the required items.
3. Wait 45 minutes: The crafting timer starts immediately. You can continue farming or participate in other activities while your Reclaimer is in progress.

How to Use Your Reclaimer

1. Plant the crop you want to switch or remove.
2. Open your inventory and select the Reclaimer.
3. Click on the planted crop.
4. Watch it instantly convert back into the original seed—no need to harvest or uproot manually.

Benefits and Pro Tips

• Experiment without risk: Try limited-time or event seeds, then reclaim them if you don’t like the layout.
• Garden resets: Quickly clear entire sections for new seasonal updates.
• Seed preservation: Never lose rare or prismatic seeds again.

To get the most out of your Reclaimer, plan your garden layout ahead and use it right before major events drop new seeds. That way, you’ll have maximum flexibility and never lose a valuable seed investment. Equipped with a Reclaimer, your garden becomes infinitely more flexible: switch crops on a whim, safeguard rare seeds, and always keep room for the next exciting update.
