After several weeks of the Halloween event, Grow a Garden players are finally getting something fresh. The developers just dropped major news about the upcoming Safari Harvest Update, and this time, it’s taking the game in a completely new direction.
Here’s a full breakdown of everything we know so far, including the new season, pets, leaks, and what you should do before the event drops. Also check out our Grow a Garden Codes for more rewards!
A New Direction After Halloween
The Halloween event lasted nearly a month, but the developers have officially decided to move on with a Safari-themed update. The announcement came just recently through the game’s official Discord server, surprising players with this unexpected change in tone — from spooky to safari. This update will include:
- A Safari Harvest Event
- A Brand-new Season Pass
- New pets, seeds, and weather effects
If you haven’t completed your current season pass, do it now — it expires in the next two days, and all unclaimed rewards (like the Multitrap or Mizushi) will be gone for good.
Safari Harvest Event Details
From what’s been shown, the Safari Harvest event looks similar to the Summer Harvest Event, featuring a reward system and an event area that’s been slightly redesigned. However, part of the preview image has been blacked out, meaning the devs are hiding something big — possibly a new feature or secret boss.
The developers also teased three emojis — a trophy, a giraffe, and an elephant. The animals likely hint at new safari-themed pets, such as giraffes, elephants, lions, or zebras. The trophy emoji might symbolize the new season pass and its competitive or collectible rewards.
What to Expect in the New Season
The new season will bring another full set of challenges and rewards. While there are no leaks yet about the upcoming pass, players are hoping for better balancing and more meaningful rewards than the last one. The previous pass received mixed reactions, but it still offered decent items overall.
Developers are also expected to improve the in-game store, which has long been criticized for poor stock rotation and unavailable items. For example, the Orange Tulip seed was recently removed without clear explanation — something players are still unhappy about.
Tips to Prepare for the Update
Before the Safari Harvest event begins:
- Finish your current season pass. It’s your last chance to grab exclusive items.
- Save resources. You’ll need plenty of checklists and currency for new seeds and pets.
- Join the admin abuse sessions. These usually happen an hour before major updates and often include free rewards.
- Stay active on Discord. Developers often drop small hints or codes before release.
What Players Want to See
The community hopes the developers don’t just reuse the Summer Harvest format but instead bring new mechanics. Many players have suggested:
- Secret pets or rituals (like the Lich Crystal event) that reward effort, not luck.
- Balanced event difficulty — unlike the frustrating Reaper event, which required endless AFK grinding.
- Better shop management — fewer, more accessible items instead of cluttered, rotating stock.
The Safari Harvest Update could mark a new chapter for Grow a Garden. It’s a bold, refreshing theme following weeks of dark Halloween content, and players are eager to see if this event can revive the game’s excitement. With new pets, a new season, and potential secrets waiting to be uncovered, the next few days will be exciting for every Grow a Garden player. Stay tuned for more updates as soon as the event goes live — and don’t forget to finish your current pass before it disappears forever.
