Grow a Garden Christmas Harvest Event Guide

The holiday season has officially arrived in Grow a Garden, filling up the entire lobby with snow. With Christmas around the corner, a bunch of limited-time events are bound to appear in the game, and this week we have a Christmas Harvest event, a mechanic very similar to the Safari Harvest one. Here, you will find elves collecting items on behalf of Santa, and in return, you can get rewarded with exclusive Christmas-themed gifts. In this guide, learn about the Grow a Garden Christmas Harvest event, including the ways to contribute and all the rewards you can get from it.

How to Contribute to Grow a Garden Christmas Harvest Event

The Christmas Harvest event in Grow a Garden is located at the center of the lobby, just like any other event. You can use Event Lantern to get there right away. You simply need to head over to the elf in front of a massive stash of presents, kept inside a sledge. Talk to the elf by pressing the ‘E‘ key, and a whole bunch of dialogue options will pop up.

Here, you can learn about the Elf and why he is here on behalf of Santa to take your plants. There’s no need to suspect these guys, because this exchange will be a mutual one.

All you need to do is bring Christmas mutated plants to the Present NPC and submit them. Every 10 minutes on average, a Christmas-themed weather event happens on the server and gives your plants the required mutations.

So with each fruit you submit, the progress meter advances, and once the threshold is achieved, you get a random individual reward. Here’s how contributing plants of every rarity can increase the points.

• Common: 1 Point
• Uncommon: 2 Points
• Rare: 3 Points
• Legendary: 4 Points
• Mythical: 5 Points
• Divine: 6 Points
• Prismatic: 7 Points
• Transcendent: 8 Points

Apart from this, you can also get the Player Gift as an individual reward. So, go ahead to other players in the lobby and gift them the presents to increase the community milestone points. This will later help in unlocking new GAG weather events and items at Santa’s Stash shop.

Tips to Contribute to the Grow a Garden Christmas Harvest Event

Now that you know what all you need to do to contribute to the Christmas Harvest event in Grow a Garden, crossing the milestones depends on your approach. Below, we have discussed a few tips that can help you make the most points in this event:

• Accumulating the points, or gifts given, is a collective event, and the more players contribute to this event on the server, the better items unlock in Santa’s Stash shop.
• Make sure that your plot doesn’t have the same type of plants all over the area.
• You can either use a new plot to place rarer plants or use a smaller area to plant a huge number of lower-tier plants.
• You can also try using pets with stealing passives, such as the Raccoon, to get unique fruits from other plots.

Grow a Garden Christmas Harvest Event Community Rewards

One way to get rewarded after contributing to the Christmas Harvest event is directly while submitting unique fruits. The elves work on a give-and-take policy. With each fruit you submit, you get a random Christmas-themed gift that can either contain cosmetics or gears.

Apart from that, when the whole Grow a Garden community collectively contributes to the event and raises the Gifts Given number on top of the sledge, everyone gets a share of the community rewards. Here’s a simple breakdown of what rewards you unlock after achieving every milestone:
