With the Trading Update just around the corner, Grow A Garden players need to act fast. This isn’t just a regular patch—it’s one of the most content-packed updates yet, featuring a full-on trading system, a cooking event, new pets, and even leaks for secret methods. If you want to be ready when it drops, now’s the time to prepare. Here’s a full breakdown of what’s coming, how trading will work, and what you need to do before it launches.
How Trading Will Work in Grow A Garden
The new trading system brings big changes. But it’s not as simple as opening a trade menu—you’ll need a Trading Ticket. What You Need:
- Trading Tickets: These are required to initiate trades. You can buy them from the Gear Shop in-game.
- What’s Tradable: Only plants and pets can be traded. Items like seeds, eggs, or gears are not allowed in trades.
- Trade Interface: You’ll be able to see the value of your trade at the top. You can add multiple pets and plants per trade, but no other item types are accepted.
This makes plants and pets more valuable than ever, especially rare ones, since players will soon be trading heavily for what they want.
Cooking Event & Gourmet Egg Explained
Alongside the trading update is a cooking event where you can create dishes using fruits and vegetables. You’ll cook meals in a large pot found in the middle of the map and feed them to a judge pig, who will reward you based on how good your dish is.
How to Participate:
- Collect fruits and vegetables ahead of time.
- Head to the central cooking pot during the event.
- Combine ingredients to cook recipes and earn rewards.
- Optionally, use the “Skip Cooking Time” feature to speed things up.
The Gourmet Egg Pets:
Inside the Gourmet Egg, you’ll find themed pets with different rarity chances:
- Bagel Bunny – 50%
- Pancake Mole – 33%
- Sushi Bear – 11.5%
- Spaghetti Sloth – 5%
- French Fry Ferret – 0.5% (rarest)
These pets are cooking-themed versions of existing pets, like the “Chef Capybara,” giving old pets a new twist.
New Sprinkler Leak: The Secret Method?
One of the most anticipated additions is the Golden Master Sprinkler, which:
- Increases growth speed, mutation chance, and fruit size ×5
- Lasts for 25 minutes
There are rumors this is part of a new secret farming method, and with over 3.5k upvotes on leaks, it’s clearly something players are excited about. If you’re farming for pets, this sprinkler could give you a huge edge.
What You Need to Do Now (Before the Update)
Here’s your pre-update checklist to get ahead of other players:
- Stockpile fruits and vegetables for cooking.
- Save coins to buy Trading Tickets from the Gear Shop.
- Prepare your rare plants and pets to trade or evolve into themed versions.
- Upgrade your sprinklers if possible—especially if the new method ties into farming efficiency.
- Keep an eye on secret leaks and test realms—new exploits or methods may be discovered during the update rollout.
