Overview
Currencies are a key mechanical feature in Grow a Garden, introduced when the game first launched. The main in-game currency is Sheckles, used for purchasing items, upgrades, and event-related goods.
Each currency in Grow a Garden has its own unique way of being obtained. Some are permanent, while others appear only during limited-time Events or specific game versions.
How to Earn Sheckles: A Complete Guide
Sheckles are the lifeblood of your garden's economy. Mastering how to earn them efficiently will unlock faster progress and rarer items. Here are the primary methods for building your fortune:
Selling Crops
The most fundamental way to earn Sheckles. Harvest mature crops and sell them at Steven’s Stand. Higher rarity plants and those with valuable mutations yield significantly more coins.
Completing Achievements
Many achievements in the Garden Guide reward you with a one-time sum of Sheckles upon completion. Focus on these to get a quick financial boost.
Utilizing Pet Abilities
Certain pets, like the Golden Goose or Fennec Fox, have abilities that passively generate Sheckles or find valuable items you can sell.
Participating in Events
Limited-time events often introduce activities or special items that can be sold for a high price. Keep an eye on the event calendar for lucrative opportunities.
Player-to-Player Trading
The player economy is a powerful tool. Trade rare pets, crops, or cosmetics with other players for large sums of Sheckles. This is often the fastest way to become wealthy.
Smart Spending: What to Buy with Your Currencies
Knowing what to spend your hard-earned currencies on is just as important as earning them. Here’s a strategic guide to help you prioritize your purchases at different stages of the game.
Early-Game
Focus on essential upgrades that accelerate your growth. Prioritize buying better sprinklers, expanding garden plots, and acquiring basic pet eggs to start building your companion roster.
Mid-Game
Invest in rarer seeds and pet eggs from the shop. Start purchasing pet and player inventory expansions to hold more valuable assets and prepare for large-scale farming.
Late-Game
Aim for the most powerful items. Save up for ultra-rare cosmetics, Divine or Prismatic pets, and expensive gear from the Limited Time Shop that offer game-changing boosts.
Event Currencies
During events, always prioritize purchasing limited-time items, as they may not return. Focus on exclusive pets, gears, and cosmetics that can only be obtained with the event-specific currency.
Retired & Unobtainable Currencies
Over the game's history, some currencies were introduced for limited-time events and have since been retired. These currencies are no longer obtainable, but they remain a nostalgic part of Grow a Garden's legacy.
Lunar Points
Used during the Lunar Glow Event. Players collected these points to purchase exclusive themed items from the event shop. They were phased out after the event concluded.
