How Zen Egg Farming Works in Grow a Garden

Zen Eggs are earned primarily by feeding tranquil fruits to the Zen NPC. Every time you max out their request bar by handing over fruits, you can receive anywhere from 1 to 4 Zen Eggs. You can also sometimes purchase Zen Eggs in the Zen Shop, which restocks daily at 8 PM EST, but farming is still the fastest and most consistent way.

The key to fast farming is maximizing the number of tranquil fruits you generate—and for that, you need to focus on three things:

1. Plant setup
2. Mutation boost pets
3. Radar usage

Step 1: Setup Your Garden for Mutations

The best fruits to use are prismatic or divine fruits—they have a higher mutation rate and yield better results. Fill your garden with as many prismatic plants as possible. Some top picks include:

• Elephant Ears
• Ember Lily
• Sugar Apples

Pack your garden tightly to maximize the effect radius of your pets and make radar sweeps more efficient.

Step 2: Use the Tanchozuru Bird (The MVP Pet)

The Tanchozuru bird is the most powerful pet for Zen Egg farming. Here’s what makes it special:

• Every 10 minutes, it meditates for 10 seconds.
• During meditation, every fruit within a 15-stud radius has a 5% chance per second to mutate into a tranquil fruit.

Place multiple Tanchozuru birds in your garden—ideally, fill every available pet slot. If you have a Mimic pet, use it to clone the bird for even more tranquil coverage.

Step 3: Radar Everything

To collect fruits efficiently, use Tranquil Radars. These highlight all tranquil fruits in the area and allow mass collection. Here’s how to use them best:

• Always buy Tranquil Radars from the Zen Shop.
• Stand in the middle of your dense fruit setup and activate your radar.
• Make multiple sweeps through your garden to catch newly mutated fruits.
• Don’t forget to check both sides or multiple garden areas if you have them.

Each radar run can yield 100+ tranquil fruits if your setup is optimized.

Step 4: Feed the Zen NPC

Once you’ve collected your tranquil fruits:

1. Visit the Zen character.
2. Select “Take All My Fruits.”
3. Watch the reward bar fill up and hand over multiple Zen Eggs.
4. Repeat if you have more fruits or return after the bird meditations complete another cycle.

You can earn dozens of Zen Eggs per day this way—some players are sitting on 25+ eggs within a few hours of optimized farming.

Bonus: Maximize with Specific Fruit Pets

Want to take this even further? If you’re harvesting specific fruit types, equip pets that have synergy with them:

• Moon Fruits → Use Moon Cats to duplicate them.
• Summer Seeds → Use Axolotls.
• Prehistoric Fruits → Use Stegosaurus.

How it works: After your tranquil mutation cycle finishes, unequip your mutation pets, equip the relevant synergy pets, and use your radar to collect. Their passive bonuses will increase your yield even more.

So, Always keep your eggs in the garden you’re actively farming. Some players reported bugs where eggs didn’t age if stored elsewhere. Farm Zen Birds (Tanchozuru) from Zen Eggs. They are rare (4.6% drop chance), but well worth it in Grow a Garden.

Go AFK overnight if your garden setup and birds are positioned correctly. If you’re not using the Tanchozuru method, you’re missing out on the fastest Zen Egg farming system in the game.

With just a few birds, smart planting, and consistent radar use, you can earn hundreds of tranquil fruits and farm Zen Eggs like never before. Add in the right pets during harvest, and you’ll be swimming in eggs every single day. Looking for more Grow a Garden! strategies and guides? Stick around—we’ve got more tips on the way.
