Grow a Garden is preparing for the return of its Fairy Event in 2026, bringing back familiar activities alongside several new items for players to collect. The leaked content includes new pets, additional seeds, a Fairy Bell gear item, and some smaller changes to existing events and settings. However, these details come from leaks, so some features and item abilities may change before the official release.
The Fairy Event is expected to run for only one week before the Halloween update arrives. Players who want to collect limited rewards should prepare their gardens and save their resources. Here is everything revealed in the current Grow a Garden leaks, including how the Fairy Event works, the new Fairy Chest rewards, and the latest gameplay changes.

Grow a Garden Fairy Event 2026: How It Works
The Fairy Event is expected to return with mechanics similar to the previous version, although the developers appear to have added some new content. The event introduces Fairy Points, a special currency that players can earn through several activities and spend on upgrades, seeds, pets, and other rewards.
You can collect Fairy Points by submitting Glimmering crops to the Wishing Well, receiving them from wish rewards, and interacting with roaming fairies. These points are important because they allow you to improve your event bonuses and purchase items from the Fairy World shops.
How to Get Fairy Points
There are several ways to earn Fairy Points during the event. Since the event is expected to last only one week, taking advantage of multiple methods should help you collect rewards more efficiently.
- Submit Glimmering fruits to the Wishing Well.
- Collect Fairy Points from available wish rewards.
- Find roaming fairies around the lobby and interact with them.
- Catch fairies in the Fairy World and use Fairy Jars to obtain Fairy Points.
Once you have enough points, visit the Fairy Godmother to purchase upgrades or spend them on event-exclusive rewards. Make sure to check the available upgrades before spending your currency, as some improvements can help you earn points and Glimmering mutations faster.
All Fairy Godmother Upgrades
The Fairy Godmother offers four upgrades that improve different parts of the event. These upgrades focus on increasing Fairy Point rewards, spawning more roaming fairies, extending the event duration, and improving the number of fairies that can apply Glimmering mutations.
- Glimmer Multiplier: Increases the Fairy Points earned when submitting Glimmering fruits.
- Roaming Fairy Spawn Amount: Increases the number of roaming fairies that appear during the event.
- Fairy Event Duration: Extends how long the Fairy Event remains active.
- Fairy Spawn Amount: Increases the number of fairies that can apply the Glimmering mutation to your crops during the event.
Roaming fairies can appear randomly in the lobby. When you interact with one, it travels to your garden and applies the Glimmering mutation to a random crop. This makes the roaming fairy upgrade useful if you want more opportunities to obtain mutated plants.
The Fairy Event is reported to trigger every hour and last around 10 minutes. During this period, butterflies fly into gardens and apply mutations to plants. Using a Fairy Targeter can attract additional fairies, potentially increasing the number of crops that receive the Glimmering mutation.
Fairy Fountain and Fairy Favor Quests
The Fairy Fountain is another important feature returning with the event. It allows players to complete Fairy Favor quests by submitting specific Glimmering plants. The requested crops can include plants obtained from the Seed Shop and, in some cases, plants grown from the Enchanted Seed Pack.
The required plants are randomized, so you may need to grow different crops before completing each request. The original questline requires five completions. After finishing it, players can reportedly repeat the questline by paying 7,500 Fairy Points.
Completing Fairy Favor quests can also provide a choice of three rewards from an available reward pool. This makes the fountain worth checking regularly, especially if you want to collect more event items without relying entirely on the shops.
Fairy World: How to Enter and What You Can Do
The Fairy World is a separate area that becomes accessible through a special portal after the Fairy Event activates. According to the previous event mechanics described in the leaks, the portal remains available for approximately 30 minutes after the event triggers, so you should look for it soon after the event begins.
Inside the Fairy World, players can participate in activities, collect currency, and visit shops offering exclusive items. It provides another way to progress through the event beyond growing crops in your garden.
Here are some activities you can expect to find:
- Catch Fairies: Capture fairies to obtain Fairy Jars, which can be exchanged for Fairy Points.
- Fairy Parkour: Complete the parkour challenge while exploring the Fairy World.
- Visit the Shops: Spend Fairy Points on various seeds, pets, and cosmetics.
- Explore the Area: Look around for event activities and opportunities to collect additional rewards.
Because the Fairy World has a limited access window, avoid waiting too long before entering. Prepare your garden and check your available resources beforehand so you can spend more time collecting rewards once the portal appears.
New Fairy Chest Pets in Grow a Garden
One of the biggest additions in the leaks is the Fairy Chest, which reportedly contains three new pets. The revealed pets are Walpertinger, Redcap, and Manticore. Their final abilities and gameplay effects have not been confirmed in the provided leak, so their usefulness cannot yet be determined.
The new pets may become valuable collectibles for players who want to expand their pet collection. However, it is best to wait for the official descriptions before deciding which one is worth prioritizing. Their abilities, rarity, and acquisition requirements could affect their value once the update goes live.
The three leaked pets are:
- Walpertinger: A new pet expected to arrive with the Fairy Event content.
- Redcap: Another Fairy Chest pet whose ability has not been revealed in the available information.
- Manticore: A new creature featured in the leaks, with its gameplay function still unconfirmed.
Since the Fairy Event is expected to be limited to one week, players interested in these pets should pay attention to the official update details. The exact drop rates and whether all three pets will be available through the same chest have not been confirmed.
New Fairy Event Seeds: Whisperer, Flutter Freia, Gazeberry, and Glimmervine
The leaks also reveal four new seeds associated with the Fairy Event: Whisperer, Flutter Freia, Gazeberry, and Glimmervine. These additions could give players more plants to grow and expand their collections during the limited-time event.
However, the leak mentions a Fairy Chest containing three new seeds while listing four seed names. This leaves some uncertainty about how the seeds will be distributed. One possibility is that a seed will appear in a separate limited-time shop, but that has not been confirmed.
The currently revealed seed names are:
- Whisperer
- Flutter Freia
- Gazeberry
- Glimmervine
For now, treat these names and their availability as leaked information rather than finalized release details. The official update should clarify which seeds belong to the Fairy Chest and whether any of them must be purchased from a limited Seed Shop.
New Fairy Bell Gear: Pet XP Bonus
Another leaked addition is the Fairy Bell, a new gear item designed to help pets gain experience. According to the available description, ringing the bell on a pet grants experience equal to 3% of its current level’s XP requirement, with a 5% chance of granting 15% instead.
This makes the Fairy Bell an item worth watching for players who regularly level up their pets. Its percentage-based experience reward could provide a convenient way to make progress without relying entirely on regular pet activities.
However, the exact activation method, item availability, and final mechanics still need to be confirmed. If the leaked values remain unchanged, the 15% bonus chance could make the Fairy Bell more rewarding than its normal effect on certain uses.
Grow a Garden Bee Event Gets a Royal Lily
The leaks also mention a small addition to the existing Bee Event: the Royal Lily. This plant reportedly spawns randomly around the map, giving players another feature to look out for while participating in the event.
When bees pollinate the Royal Lily, players receive Honey Coins. This provides another way to collect event currency while the bees are active, so checking the map for the flower could be worthwhile.
Since the Royal Lily appears randomly, you may not find it in the same location every time. Keep an eye on your surroundings during the Bee Event and check whether bees are gathering around a newly spawned flower.
New Grow a Garden Settings: Pet Scaling and Notifications
Alongside the new event content, the leaks reveal several settings changes intended to give players more control over their gardens and on-screen notifications. These options may be particularly useful for players who have many pets and plants with abilities that activate frequently.
Garden Pet Scaling
The Garden Pet Scaling option appears to be a renamed version of the existing pet scaling setting. It lets players adjust how pets appear in the garden, giving them more control over the size of their companions.
This can be useful if you prefer a cleaner-looking garden or want your pets to appear at a size that suits your setup. The exact available scaling values have not been confirmed in the leak.
Held Pet Scaling
Held Pet Scaling is a separate option for pets that your character is carrying. Instead of changing how pets appear in the garden, this setting allows you to adjust their size while they are being held.
Players can reportedly choose between the pet’s actual size and the default display size. This is a cosmetic adjustment rather than a confirmed gameplay improvement, but it gives players more flexibility when showing off their pets.
Pet Ability Notifications
The Pet Notification setting allows players to turn off notifications that appear at the top of the screen when pet abilities activate. This can help reduce visual clutter, particularly for players who have several pets triggering abilities frequently.
If you find that these notifications cover important parts of the screen or become distracting during gameplay, disabling them should make the experience less cluttered.
Plant Passive Notifications
Plant Passive Notification is a similar option for plant abilities. Some plants can trigger passive effects when applying mutations, and their notifications may appear repeatedly during active gameplay.
With this setting, players can reportedly turn off those messages. It should be useful for players who want to keep track of their garden without having frequent plant ability notifications interrupting the screen.
Is the Grow a Garden Prehistoric Update Returning?
The available information does not confirm an immediate return for the Prehistoric Update. According to the leak commentary, the developers have reportedly planned to revisit the content and are working on it, but there is no confirmed release date.
The update could arrive after the Halloween event, although this remains speculation. Players should wait for an official announcement before expecting the prehistoric content to return on a particular date.
For now, the Fairy Event and its leaked additions are the more immediate content to watch. With the Halloween update expected to follow the Fairy Event, there may be more details about upcoming content as the developers share additional announcements.
The leaked Grow a Garden Fairy Event 2026 content includes new pets, seeds, Fairy Bell gear, Fairy World activities, and several quality-of-life settings. Walpertinger, Redcap, and Manticore are the three revealed Fairy Chest pets, while Whisperer, Flutter Freia, Gazeberry, and Glimmervine are the four seed names mentioned in the leaks. Their final availability and abilities remain unconfirmed.
The Fairy Event is expected to last one week before the Halloween update, making it important for players to collect Fairy Points and work toward limited rewards while the event is active. Since these details are based on leaks rather than a complete official announcement, some features may change before release. Keep an eye on future update information for confirmed details about the new pets, seeds, and event rewards.
