The holiday season has arrived in Grow a Garden, transforming the lobby into a winter wonderland. With Christmas on the horizon, exciting limited-time events are in full swing. This week’s highlight is the Christmas Harvest event, reminiscent of the Safari Harvest event. Join the elves as they gather items for Santa, and in return, you can earn exclusive Christmas-themed rewards. Stick with us to explore everything you need to know about the Grow a Garden Christmas Harvest event, from how to contribute to the fabulous rewards awaiting you.
How to Contribute to Grow a Garden Christmas Harvest Event
To kick off your participation in the Christmas Harvest event, head to the center of the lobby. Use the Event Lantern for quick access. You’ll find an elf near a large stack of presents stored in a sledge. Interact with the elf by pressing the ‘E‘ key, which opens up a dialogue menu.
This is where you’ll learn more about the elf’s mission for Santa and how you can help. The exchange is completely trustworthy, and by submitting your plants, you can reap some great rewards.
Bring Christmas mutated plants to the Present NPC for submission. Every 10 minutes, a Christmas-themed weather event occurs on the server, enabling your plants to gain the necessary mutations.
As you submit each fruit, a progress meter will fill up, and once you reach the required threshold, you’ll receive a random reward. Here’s how plant rarity affects your points:
- Common: 1 Point
- Uncommon: 2 Points
- Rare: 3 Points
- Legendary: 4 Points
- Mythical: 5 Points
- Divine: 6 Points
- Prismatic: 7 Points
- Transcendent: 8 Points
Additionally, you can give Player Gifts to fellow players to contribute to community milestone points, unlocking new items and weather events in Santa’s Stash shop.
Tips for Contributing to the Christmas Harvest Event
Your strategy in this event can truly maximize your rewards. Here are some pro tips:

- Utilize pets, like the Raccoon, which have stealing passives to acquire unique fruits from other plots.
