Update 1 for Grow A Garden 2 is coming Saturday with a guild shop, guild crates, traveling trader, new pets including Capybara, the legendary Romanesco seed, and a brand-new trading system for guild members.
Update 1 Leaked Features
How to Get Ready for Update 1
Step 1: Accumulate Shekels Money
Target: Get at least 5 million shekels before the update
If you don’t have more than 5 million shekels yet, you’re struggling. The guild shop items cost significant currency, so having money reserves helps you prepare for weekly guild shop rotations.
Step 2: Farm Bamboo Seeds and Quality Seeds
Stack up bamboo seeds plus overall good seeds
Set up a macro on the stock for AFK farming, or use an auto-clicker on one seed (more effective). The macro method is best for mass seed accumulation. You’ll need quality seeds to submit to guilds for currency and to trade.
Step 3: Join a Top Guild
Find a guild close to top 100 rank
At the update’s release, tons of good pets and rewards go to people in strong guilds.
Join Discord servers to find guild teammates since guild participation is crucial for earning guild shop currency.
Step 4: Use Discord Stock Notifications
Set up alerts for specific seeds, gears, and props
Join Discord servers that notify you for every seed, gear, or prop you want (e.g., cherry seed, legendary sprinklers). Get pinged only for items you’re interested in instead than manually checking stock constantly. You can also check all stocks whenever they refresh.
Step 5: Buy Ghost Pepper Packs Before Price Drop
Grab the 50-option at 3,499 Robux (was 4,499)
Ghost pepper packs become way cheaper in Update 1—the 50-option drops by 1,000 Robux. The 1, 3, and 10 options likely get cheaper too since a new seed pack is coming to the shop.
Update Release Time
Update 1 releases on Saturday (not Friday like Update 0.5). It launches 3 hours and 30 minutes before the Grow A Garden 1 update. Update 0.5 was the guild rewards and leaderboards update, making this the official Update 1.
Critical Mistakes to Avoid
-
Don’t skip preparing 5 million shekels — Guild shop items like the legendary sprinkler (500 currency) and rainbow seed pack (4,000 currency) cost heavily.
-
Don’t ignore guilds — Top guilds get massive pet/reward bonuses at update release.
-
Don’t wait to buy ghost pepper packs — Buy now before the 1,000 Robux price drop happens.
-
Don’t manually check stock constantly — Use Discord notifications to save time.
-
Don’t assume weekly shop stays same — Week 1 expires and Week 2 opens with new items.
FAQ: Grow A Garden 2 Update 1
What is the new Romanesco seed?
The Romanesco seed is a brand-new plant with a scary, defensive design that looks like the trailer plant. It defends your base and was leaked on testing servers and the official Discord.
How do I get guild shop currency?
Earn it by being on the leaderboard or submitting plants into your guild. Plants convert into guild currency.
What is the traveling trader?
A trader NPC that travels to your server or is permanent with rotating stock. You offer stuff for his seeds (like new cranberry), pets, gears, or props.
Can I trade with anyone in Update 1?
No — the new trading system is guild-only. Trade crops, pets, and gears with guild members to team up and grind together.
How many guild crates are coming?
Seven new carrot-designed crates: silver, green, blue, purple, yellow, red, and another green variant.
Is Capybara a pet?
Yes — the Capybara (shown as “Capybara 2” shining full-screen) is a new pet. Our pets are normally random on the map, but this one shines across the entire screen.
Getting ready for Update 1 isn’t just about grinding—it’s about unlocking premium pets, legendary gear, and guild-exclusive rewards that will set you apart when millions of players log in Saturday. With the legendary sprinkler (500 guild currency), rainbow seed pack (4,000 currency), and the new Capybara pet waiting, your prep time now directly translates to competitive dominance. The guild trading system alone will let you swap crops and gears without leaving your team, making coordinated farming 10x faster.
