What Are Plants in Grow a Garden?
Plants are the heart of Grow a Garden. Starting as humble seeds, they grow into a vast and diverse collection of fruits, flowers, and fantastical flora. Each plant plays a crucial role in the game’s economy and progression.
Their primary purpose is to be harvested for Sheckles, but they are also essential for discovering mutations, completing quests, and feeding your pets. Different plant types, like Woody or Leafy, can also influence your garden's layout and overall farming strategy, making every choice important.
Understanding Plant Categories
Every plant in the game belongs to one or more categories, which helps classify them based on their appearance or in-game function. Knowing these categories is key to finding the right plants for specific mutations or quests.
Fruit Type
Yield edible crops that are often used in crafting recipes or can be sold for a good price.
Flower Type
Often have special interactions with pets (like bees) and are key components in many mutation formulas.
Zen Type
Exclusive to the Zen Event, these plants feature unique, tranquil aesthetics and special mutation paths.
Woody Type
Includes trees and shrubs that often yield fruits or other resources over time.
Prickly Type
Plants like cacti that may have unique growth patterns or mutation resistances.
Leafy Type
A broad category for plants defined by their prominent leaves, often used in basic recipes.
Single-Harvest vs. Multi-Harvest Plants
A crucial mechanic for any serious gardener is understanding how different plants behave after being harvested.
Single-Harvest Plants
These crops provide a one-time yield and are removed from your garden plot once you collect them.
Examples include Carrots, Turnips, and Mushrooms. They're excellent for quick profits but require you to constantly replant seeds.
Multi-Harvest Plants
These are renewable resources. They remain in your garden after being harvested and will produce more crops over time.
Examples include Apple Trees, Mango Trees, and Ember Lilies. They are perfect for establishing a steady, passive income stream.
