Glass Animals x Grow a Garden How to Claim Your Free Rewards!

The next Grow a Garden update is about to drop, and this time it’s a big one. A new collaboration with Glass Animals is bringing a special admin event, new rewards, and some hidden changes already live in the game. If you want to grab all the free items and plants before the update rolls out, here’s everything you need to know. Also check out our Grow a Garden Codes & Grow a Garden Animals Tier list.

Glass Animals Admin Event

The event everyone’s talking about is the Glass Animals Admin Abuse, happening today. Each time Grow a Garden runs an admin event like this, players get free in-game items and rewards just for joining. This time, the event ties into Glass Animals’ new song “Vampire Bat,” which will be performed live during the update.

According to leaks, players who join during the event will unlock exclusive themed items, including a new free plant and possibly a new pet. Past collaborations, like the Travis Kales event, gave both, so history might repeat itself here.

How to Join the Event

The Glass Animals event has a specific start time depending on your time zone. For most players, it begins around 7:20 p.m., but it may vary. To join, simply log into Grow a Garden when the event starts — you’ll automatically enter the update session and receive your free reward after participating.

Free Kiwi Plant & New Mutations

The biggest leak right now points toward a new Kiwi Plant being added to the game. This fruit was spotted in teasers related to Glass Animals’ “Vampire Bat” song — the same kiwi with a fork that appears in the music video’s thumbnail.

Players who join the event will likely get the kiwi plant for free, and several new plant mutations have been spotted in early screenshots. These could include new colors, textures, and hybrid forms tied to the spooky “Vampire Bat” theme.

Secret In-Game Updates

While most players are waiting for the event to begin, some smaller updates are already live:

• Tier 2 Pet Shop Removed: The second-tier section in the egg shop has been merged into the main gear shop. All Tier 2 items like pet lead and treats are still available, just in a new location.
• Recall Wrench Changes: Developer Adrian hinted at a new feature where players can access the gear shop directly through a top menu button. This means no more manually using recall wrenches every time — a small but welcome quality-of-life change.
• New Tree Concept: Adrian recently responded to a fan-made concept of a Halloween-themed tree, suggesting it might be added soon. Keep an eye out — it could appear as part of today’s update.

Why You Should Join

Events like these don’t just bring free rewards — they also include exclusive gameplay experiences. The Glass Animals collaboration will likely feature:

• A limited-time performance tied to the “Vampire Bat” song.
• A free kiwi plant and possibly a new pet for all players who attend.
• Special admin-only weather commands, including spooky effects like fog or night storms.

Even if you don’t plan to farm, it’s worth logging in to claim your free items before the update closes.

The Glass Animals update is shaping up to be one of the biggest crossover events in Grow a Garden yet. Between the celebrity performance, free kiwi plant, and new in-game tweaks, this is a must-join event for every player. Make sure to log in at your local event time, collect your rewards, and explore all the new changes before they disappear. Free crops, pets, and spooky surprises — this weekend’s update is not one to miss.
