The Fairy Event update brought fairies to Grow a Garden, and with its expansion, players can now catch them and store them in jars. Yes, a new Fairy Genius NPC will ask you to catch the fairies and return them to the Fairy World. This will get you new rewards, including special seeds and gears. In this guide, learn how to catch a fairy in Grow a Garden, along with some valuable tips and tricks.
What You Need to Catch a Fairy in Grow a Garden
To catch a fairy in Grow a Garden, you will need the Fairy Net. The net is only obtainable from the Fairy crafting recipes table. Here are the ingredients you will need to craft the Fairy Net in Grow a Garden:
- 1x Sunbulb
- 1x Strawberry Seed
- 1x Harvest Tool
- 100x Fairy Points

Once you have all the ingredients, learn how you can craft the gear to catch a fairy in Grow a Garden:
- Go to the right-side Fairy Crafting table and press the E key to interact.
- Select the Fairy Net from the recipes and click the green Craft button.
- Hold items in your hand one by one and press the E key to submit them.
- Once done, submit the Fairy Points and wait for the duration.
- Finally, collect the 20 Fairy Nets once the crafting is done.
How to Use Fairy Net and Catch Fairies in Grow a Garden
Using the Fairy Net is simple. Just like how you whip the shovel by pressing the left mouse button, you have to do the same with the Fairy Net.
Go toward a roaming fairy or the ones that visit your garden from the Fairy Godmother and press the left mouse button when they are close. This will catch the fairies in a Fairy Jar. Do not interact with the fairy by clicking the E key if you want it in a jar. Pressing E on it will send the fairy to your garden to apply the Glimmering mutation to a random fruit.
Tips and Tricks to Catch a Fairy in Grow a Garden
As you can see, catching one fairy at a time can feel like a tedious task, especially when you need a lot of them to purchase items from the Fairy Shop, craft items, and get rewards from the Lumina NPC. But don’t worry, here are some simple tips and tricks to make the fairy farming efficient in Grow a Garden:
- Stand Beside Fairy Godmother: During the Fairy Event, I recommend standing beside the Fairy Godmother in the center. When a fairy goes to your garden to apply the mutation, it will return to the tree behind the Godmother. Simply catch it before it can enter the tree. This way, you will get the mutation, despite having caught it.
- Catch Fairy in Fairy World: When the Fairy Event is over, after 30 minutes, the Fairy Ring will appear. Take the ring to visit the Fairy World. In the Fairy World, you will find more fairies than usual. This is the ideal place to farm them as much as you want.
- Craft Fairy Net in Off-Time: As you will be catching the fairies during the event and in Fairy World, it is a must to utilize the time fully. That is why, when the event is not running, use that time to make as many Fairy Nets as possible.
That is how you can catch fairies in Grow a Garden. Are you ready to submit them to the NPC for all new fairy seeds and fairy pets? Let us know in the comments below.
