What to know
- The Garden Horizons update drops on Sunday, March 1 at 6:30 AM (server time).
- A new scientist NPC and mystery event are expected.
- New travel gear and possible new/returning seeds may arrive.
- Saving large amounts of shillings is the smartest move before launch.
The March 1 update in Roblox’s Garden Horizons is shaping up to be one of the game’s more mysterious patches. With hidden Morse code messages, map changes like the staircase at Bill’s shop, and hints of a fourth scientist, you’ll want to prepare properly before servers refresh.
Below is a practical breakdown so you can enter the update ready instead of scrambling.
Quick overview of the March 1 update
| Feature | What’s Expected | Why It Matters | How You Should Prepare |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Scientist NPC | Fourth scientist tied to mystery clues | Likely new quests or mechanics | Keep space in inventory and farm area |
| Mysterious Event | Morse code + environmental changes | Story progression or limited event | Log in early after update |
| New Travel Gear | Added to Molly’s shop | Movement advantage or new area access | Save shillings |
| New/Returning Seeds | Pomegranate return or grapes added | High-profit crops likely | Stockpile currency |
| Economy Shift | Expensive seeds predicted | Early buyers gain advantage | Build large shilling reserves |
Clues pointing to a new scientist NPC
Players have noticed environmental hints, including:
- A new staircase inside Garden Horizons near Bill’s Seed Shop
- Mysterious barrels and broken benches scattered around
- Morse code audio messages on radios suggesting surveillance
All signs point toward a fourth scientist NPC entering the game. If that happens, expect new dialogue trees, quests, or possibly access to previously locked mechanics.
You should avoid overfilling your farm layout right now. Leave some open plots in case new mechanics require specific placements.
Preparing for possible new seeds
There’s speculation that the pomegranate seed may return, or that entirely new crops like grapes could be introduced. Historically, high-tier seeds in Garden Horizons are expensive at launch and spike early in value.
That means your preparation should focus heavily on liquidity.
If you’re low on funds when the update hits, you could miss out on early profit opportunities.
How to farm shillings efficiently before March 1
The smartest move right now is aggressive profit farming.
High-value crops worth focusing on
| Crop | Profit Potential | Growth Efficiency | Why It’s Good Now |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roses | Very High | Moderate | Strong resale value |
| Tomatoes | High | Fast | Reliable turnover |
| Mushrooms | High | Moderate | Good bulk profit |
| Potatoes | Medium | Fast | Stable farming cycle |
| Cherries | High | Slower | Large harvest payouts |
Roses remain one of the most reliable profit crops, especially if you use optimized watering setups and sprinklers.
How to maximize your earnings quickly
- Clear unnecessary decorations and maximize planting tiles for high-profit crops.
- Plant roses, tomatoes, mushrooms, or cherries in bulk instead of low-value crops.
- Use watering tools and sprinklers efficiently to speed up growth cycles.
- Harvest in batches rather than individually to save time.
- Sell in large quantities to quickly build your shilling reserves.
Some players have demonstrated earning tens of millions in a single large sell-off by stacking inventory before selling. While that level requires serious grinding, you should aim for a healthy reserve before Sunday.
Be aware of the cabbage mutation bug
Currently, there are reports of a broken cabbage mutation bug affecting profits. If you’re relying on mutated cabbage farming, be cautious — returns may not behave as expected.
Until fixed, you’re safer investing your time in stable high-value crops instead of bug-dependent strategies.
Travel gear from Molly’s shop
Another expected addition is new travel gear at Molly’s shop. If the gear affects movement speed or unlocks new areas, it could become essential for event participation.
Keep a reserve specifically for gear purchases instead of spending everything on seeds.
When to log in after the update
Since the update launches at 6:30 AM, logging in early gives you:
- First access to new seeds before price spikes
- Immediate interaction with the new NPC
- Early discovery advantages
If there’s a limited-time mechanic, being online early can make a real difference.
Reward expectations from the update
While official rewards haven’t been confirmed, mystery events in Garden Horizons typically include:
| Possible Reward Type | Likely Benefit |
|---|---|
| Limited Seeds | High resale value |
| Unique Gear | Movement or farming boosts |
| Event Currency | Tradeable items |
| Cosmetic Items | Farm customization |
Keep inventory slots available so you don’t need to discard valuable items during the event.
Getting ready for Garden Horizons’ March 1 event
The March 1 update looks like it will shift both the story and the economy. By focusing on profit farming now and keeping flexibility in your setup, you give yourself the best chance to capitalize on new content immediately.
Right now, your priorities should be simple: build capital, optimize your farm layout, and avoid risky bug-dependent farming. The update appears economy-driven, meaning early buyers and prepared players will likely benefit most.
If you enter March 1 with strong shilling reserves and open farm space, you’ll be in an excellent position to take advantage of whatever the mystery scientist brings.
Preparation is less about guessing the exact feature and more about staying financially ready and adaptable. If you do that, you’ll be ahead of most players when the update goes live.
