The Seed Stages Update is almost here in Grow a Garden, and players are already preparing to take full advantage of it. This update will focus heavily on seeds and growth mechanics, which means some items and strategies are about to become more valuable than ever. To make sure you’re ready, here are 10 things you should do before the update drops.
1. Stock Up on Watering Cans
Seeds can’t grow without water, and watering cans may finally get a bigger role in the new update. They’re easy to collect—just auto click overnight and you’ll gather thousands. Having a big supply will give you a strong start when seed stages go live.
2. Collect as Many Sprinklers as Possible
Sprinklers are another key tool for growing seeds. Since the update is seed-focused, expect sprinklers to become essential for advancing through multiple seed tiers. Try to gather different types, including rare ones like the Master and Grandmaster Sprinkler.
3. Build a Huge Seed Collection
Don’t forget the seeds themselves. You might need hundreds of certain types to upgrade them into stronger versions, like Pumpkin V2 or Bamboo Seed V2. Grab as many as you can now so you won’t fall behind.
4. Save Up Shackles
Shekels are becoming more important with each update. You’ll need them for rerolls, skips, and possibly even seed upgrades. Farm as many as possible before the update arrives.
5. Be Ready for Admin Abuse Events
Admin abuses usually happen an hour before major updates and are a great chance to collect rare items. From now on, there will be two admin abuses each week—Saturday and Sunday—so don’t miss out.
6. Finish the Fall Event
Complete the fall event before it ends to secure the Maple Resin seed and other rewards. Even though a new transcendent seed may surpass it, Maple Resin will still be valuable for trading and farming.
7. Get the Marmmo Pet
The Marmmo is a must-have pet because it can dig up rare fall rewards, such as the Golden Acorn or Maple Sprinkler, even after the event ends. Collect several now, as they’ll likely rise in trading value.
8. Grab the Fall Fountain Cosmetic
Unlike most cosmetics, the Fall Fountain has a special ability—it applies the Fall mutation to one random plant every five minutes. Since mutations are rare and this cosmetic is limited, it’s worth adding to your collection.
9. Complete Fall Achievements
Check your Garden Guide’s achievement tab. Completing fall achievements rewards you with items like the Fall Fence, seed packs, eggs, and a cart cosmetic. These rewards are limited-time, so finish them before they disappear forever.
10. Clean Up Your Inventory
Inventory space can be a struggle in Grow a Garden. If you’re running out of room, use an alt account to store extra pets, seeds, or rare items you don’t use often. It’s a simple way to free up slots without losing anything important.
The Seed Stages Update is going to shake up Grow a Garden in a big way, and preparing early will give you a massive advantage. Stock up on seeds, sprinklers, and watering cans, save your shekels, and don’t miss the fall event before it’s gone. With these 10 steps, you’ll be ready to make millions—or even billions—once the new update arrives.
