The upcoming Ghoul Garden event in Roblox Grow a Garden is shaping up to be one of the biggest seasonal updates the game has ever seen. With new spooky seeds, pets, weathers, and possibly even a new shop, now is the perfect time to prepare. Here’s a detailed breakdown of everything you should be doing to get ahead and make the most of this update.

Focus on Planting Now

Planting has always been the backbone of major Grow a Garden events, and the Ghoul Garden is no exception. Previous seasonal updates required players to submit hundreds of plants to progress through NPC quest lines, and it’s likely the Halloween event will follow the same pattern.

High-yield, easy-to-grow crops such as coconuts and tomatoes are your best bet. They provide solid points without demanding too much time, letting you focus on mass production. A full garden of these crops will give you a significant head start, allowing you to jump straight into harvesting and submitting once the event goes live.

Here’s a quick refresher on the point system: common plants give 1 point, uncommon 2, rare 3, legendary 4, mythical 5, divine 6, prismatic 7, and transcended 8. Transcended plants are extremely rare, so don’t stress about them—stacking commons like coconuts and tomatoes is the real strategy.

Stockpile Acorns and Pets

Acorn farming is another critical task leading up to the event. The current drop rates from acorns make it much easier to acquire high-value items like Grandmaster sprinklers, master sprinklers, and rainbow fertilizer compared to the shop. Additionally, event chests can drop the chinchilla pet, one of the most valuable pets in Grow a Garden. Securing these now can give you an advantage, especially as some pets and rewards will become unobtainable after the event.

If you’re aiming to collect rare pets, consider looking for cheap grow a garden pets for sale in the community. Acquiring them early ensures you won’t miss out once the Halloween update rotates out, as some pets will no longer be available.

Prepare Your Currency

Shekels are going to be vital during this event. Almost every major update in Grow a Garden has relied heavily on this in-game currency, and the Ghoul Garden will likely be no different. You’ll need shekels for event gear, shop resets, and possibly pre-update restocks. Aim to save several trillion shekels ahead of time to avoid being caught off guard.

Trading with other players or purchasing from U4GM can be a helpful way to accumulate currency efficiently if you want to save time. A strong shekel reserve ensures you can take advantage of rare items as soon as the event begins.

Take Advantage of Admin Events

Before major updates, Grow a Garden often has an “admin abuse” session where rare items, pets, and gear are restocked temporarily. These events are chaotic but provide an excellent opportunity to grab rare items before the main event. Make sure you’re ready with both currency and inventory space to make the most of these sessions.

Additionally, stock notifiers—such as those available in the official Grow a Garden Discord—can alert you instantly when new items appear. This is particularly useful for limited items like crimson thorn, new seeds, or rare pets. Being quick on the uptake can make a huge difference during these high-demand periods.

Join a Community for Collaboration

Many events, like the previous Nutty Fever update, require teamwork to complete global objectives. Random public servers can be frustrating, with AFK players or leechers slowing progress. Joining an active Discord server or grind group will not only make farming easier but also more enjoyable.
