Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming celebrity event, how to finally get your hands on the Great Pumpkin Seed, and the ongoing community discussions.
Get ready, Grow a Garden fans! After a period of smaller updates, a massive new event is on the horizon. The developers have officially announced a “Special Music Guest” event this Saturday, bringing back the highly popular celebrity-hosted admin abuses that players love. This, combined with crucial changes to the elusive Great Pumpkin Seed, marks a significant week for the game.
A Star-Studded Return: The “Special Music Guest” Event!
It’s been a long time since Grow a Garden hosted a celebrity event, but that’s about to change! The developers recently posted a thrilling announcement:
“The special music guest update, Halloween Spooktacular! Join us for a special musical guest appearance this Saturday to help Jandel run some spooktacular exclusive weather events to celebrate Halloween. More to share soon.”
This means we’re getting a celebrity-hosted admin abuse this Saturday, featuring a mystery musician! These events are historically some of the biggest in Grow a Garden, bringing unique weather, exclusive rewards, and a massive influx of players. If it’s anything like previous celebrity events, prepare for a game-breaking level of excitement.
Who could it be? While the identity of the musical guest remains a secret, speculation is rampant. Could it be an artist known for a popular Halloween track? Share your guesses in the comments below!
Great Pumpkin Seed: Easier to Get (Finally!)
In a direct response to community feedback, the developers have addressed the frustrating rarity of the Great Pumpkin Seed.
Update 1.28.3 notes: “increased the stock chance of the great pumpkin seed. It should now stock more often.”
The chance for the Great Pumpkin Seed to appear in the Seed Shop has been significantly increased from a dismal 1 in 888 (0.12%) to a much more favorable 1 in 510 (0.2%). This is a huge win for players who have been tirelessly waiting to obtain this rare seed.
- Still Need a Notifier: Even with increased chances, getting the Great Pumpkin Seed requires vigilance. Make sure you have a reliable stock notifier enabled to get an instant alert the moment it appears in the Seed Shop.
- Discord Notifiers: Many Grow a Garden community Discord servers (including popular content creators’) offer free stock notifier bots. Join one, select the Great Pumpkin Seed role, and ensure you’re notified!
Jandel Responds to “AI” Controversy
Following last week’s admin abuse, some players playfully (or perhaps not-so-playfully) accused Jandel of being an “AI” or simply not engaged due to the event’s repetitive nature and lack of seed restocks. Jandel himself responded to this on TikTok:
“To the era where people used to say, ‘How can you hate this guy?’ Cuz now people think I’m an AI. People think I’m not even real anymore… Maybe I wasn’t in game. I honestly kind of feel bad, bro.”
It’s clear Jandel is aware of the community’s feelings. Managing two popular games (including Plants vs. Brain Rods) and hosting multiple late-night events can be exhausting. This week’s “Special Music Guest” event could be his redemption arc, bringing fresh excitement and proving that big things are still happening in Grow a Garden.
Community Concepts & Future Hopes
The community is already buzzing with concepts for the upcoming event, hoping for unique mechanics and visuals. One intriguing idea involves a “spider tree” where players collect hanging spiders as plants.
Beyond the immediate event, players continue to push for broader quality-of-life changes and a reconsideration of certain monetization strategies:
- No More Pay-to-Win: Many are concerned about the increasing number of items locked behind Robux paywalls, citing games like Fish that declined due to aggressive monetization.
- Seasonal Events & Rideable Pets: Persistent requests include adding dynamic seasonal weather, weather-specific plants, and the ability to ride pets for added fun.
Don’t Miss Out This Saturday!
This Saturday’s “Special Music Guest” event promises to be a game-changer for Grow a Garden. Make sure to mark your calendars, set your notifications, and prepare for potentially huge rewards, new mutations, and an unforgettable experience.
