9 Things to Do Before the Beanstalk Update in Grow a Garden!
The Beanstalk update is one of the most anticipated events in Grow a Garden on Roblox, and it promises to bring new challenges, rewards, and gameplay features. With leaks hinting at climbable structures, pet inventory upgrades, and special crop requests, this update could be a game changer.
Preparing in advance will give you a big advantage, especially if you want to make progress quickly once the event begins. Here are 9 important steps you should take before the Beanstalk appears in the game.
1. Farm Pet Pouches Early
Pet pouches will be a key item in the update, permanently increasing your pet inventory by one slot per pouch, up to 50 slots. To craft each pouch, you’ll need one common egg, one small treat, one small toy, and one hot dog. If you want all 50 slots, you’ll need a significant stockpile of these ingredients. Crafting them now will save time and stress later.

2. Gather Woody Fruits
Leaked images suggest the Beanstalk NPC may request woody-type fruits such as apples or avocados. These crops fall under the “woody” category in the game’s wiki. Even if the event requires other crop types, having a stock of woody fruits prepared means you can respond quickly when the event starts.
3. Keep Speed and Jump Pets Ready

The Beanstalk appears climbable, which means certain sections might be easier with pets that boost run speed or jump height. Raptors, grey mice, and similar pets could help you reach higher areas or move faster through challenges.
4. Prepare for the Garden Guide
A new “Garden Guide” achievement system is expected to arrive with the update. This system will track plants, pets, cosmetics, and food you’ve collected. To be ready, try to have at least one of every item in your inventory so you can complete guide entries right away.
5. Stock Up on Pancake Stacks
Pancake stacks work especially well with pets like Blood Owls to keep them in place. These items may be difficult to get after the current event ends, so it’s a good idea to gather as many as you can now.
6. Get Gorilla Chef Pets
The Gorilla Chef has a chance to duplicate food while cooking, which could be very useful if future recipes require cooked items like hot dogs. You can obtain this pet from the connoisseur NPC or trade for it while it’s still cheap and easy to find.
7. Claim All Limited Event Rewards

If there are event-exclusive crops, pets, or materials you still need, now is the time to collect them. Items like bitter melons, prickle fruits, and pet shards may not return after the event ends.
8. Clean a Garden Plot for Event Crops
Having a garden plot ready to plant event-specific crops will save valuable time. Keep one of your gardens clear and prepared for whatever plants the Beanstalk NPC requires.
9. Use a Discord Notifier
Discord servers like the Dawn Discord are great for receiving event alerts, finding leaks, and getting crop predictions. Joining one can help you react faster to new information once the update is live.
The Beanstalk update has the potential to change how you play Grow a Garden. With these preparations, you’ll be ready to take advantage of the event from the start. Whether it’s farming pet pouches or gathering the right crops, the work you put in now will pay off when the Beanstalk grows.
