The final phase of the Easter event in Grow a Garden introduces a new system that changes how players grind completely. Instead of focusing only on solo farming, the Team Training event pushes you to work with other players to unlock better rewards faster. If you’ve been confused about how this system works or why your progress feels slow, this guide breaks everything down in a simple way so you can maximize your rewards before the event ends.

What is Team Training in Grow a Garden?
Team Training is a co-op event system where players form a group and contribute resources together to unlock rewards. Unlike earlier Easter activities, this mode is built around shared progress. You and your teammates will submit fruits to gain points, and those points unlock rewards through different tiers. This system is similar to previous “packaging” mechanics where players donate items to fill a progress bar.
How Team Training Works
The core gameplay loop is simple, but efficiency matters. You collect fruits from your garden, especially Easter or candy-type crops, and submit them to the event NPC. Each fruit gives a certain number of points depending on its value, size, and rarity. Once you submit enough items, you fill a progress bar. After that, a cooldown starts before you can submit again. Higher-value fruits give more points, which means faster progression.
Team vs Solo Progress
One important detail is that the system tracks two types of progress:
- Personal progress (your own contribution)
- Team progress (combined total of all members)
This means you can earn rewards even if your team is slow, but the best rewards usually come from team milestones. If your team is active, you’ll unlock rewards much faster compared to playing alone.
Rewards You Can Get
Team Training rewards are divided into tiers. As you and your team gain points, you unlock rewards automatically. These rewards can include:
- Seeds
- Event items
- Golden Eggs
- Exclusive cosmetics
- Event pets (like Lyrebird in Part 4)
Each tier requires more points than the last, so consistent contribution is key.
Cooldown System Explained
One thing that slows players down is the cooldown. After filling the contribution bar, you need to wait before submitting again. This prevents players from rushing everything instantly and makes timing important. Because of this, the best approach is to:
- Farm while waiting
- Come back after cooldown
- Submit again
Repeating this cycle is the fastest way to progress.
Best Strategy to Progress Faster
If you want to maximize rewards, you need to focus on efficiency rather than just grinding randomly. Start by growing high-value crops. Bigger and rarer fruits give more points, which means fewer submissions are needed.
Next, always keep your farm active. Don’t wait until the cooldown ends before farming again. Prepare your crops in advance so you can submit immediately when the timer resets. Joining an active team is also important. A slow or inactive team will delay your rewards significantly.
Is Team Training Better Than Solo?
Technically, yes—but only if your team is active. You can still progress solo, but it will take much longer since you’re handling all the contributions yourself. In a team, multiple players contribute at the same time, which speeds up everything. That said, if your teammates are inactive, solo grinding may actually feel more consistent.
The Team Training event in Grow a Garden is not complicated, but it rewards smart play more than raw grinding. Once you understand how points, cooldowns, and teamwork work together, the system becomes much easier to manage. If you stay consistent, join the right team, and focus on high-value farming, you’ll be able to unlock all the rewards before the event ends without too much trouble.
