Event Overview

The event draws heavy inspiration from both the Easter Event 2025 and the Angry Plant Event 2025, combining the best mechanics from each while layering on brand-new systems.

Easter Garden Plot — First-Ever Exclusive Plot

This is the headline feature: for the first time in Grow a Garden history, an event introduces a completely separate garden plot dedicated exclusively to event content.

• All Easter seeds can ONLY be planted in the Easter 2026 Garden Plot. You cannot plant them in your regular garden plots.
• The Easter Garden Plot is separate from your existing plots — it does not take up any of your normal gardening space.
• Easter plants grown in this plot can be harvested and submitted to NPCs or sold for Choc Coins.
• The plot is available for the duration of the event and will likely disappear when the event ends — harvest everything before it closes.

This means you can keep your main garden running at full capacity while growing event crops on the side. Zero downside to participating immediately on April 4. For general garden optimization, visit our Grow a Garden hub.

Easter Seeds — Candy Carrot, Gummy Cactus & More

All Easter seeds follow the same core growth mechanics as regular seeds: plant, water, and wait. Mutations still apply to Easter plants, and mutated Easter plants are the primary way to earn Choc Coins. If you need a refresher on mutations, read our Mutation Stacking Guide.

We will update this table with exact stats, grow times, and additional seeds as soon as the event goes live on April 4.

Choc Coins — How to Earn Event Currency

Choc Coins are the exclusive event currency. Here is how the economy works:

Earning Choc Coins: The Bunny NPC

On the right side of the Easter event area, a bunny NPC buys your Easter-mutated plants in exchange for Choc Coins. Standard Easter plants go to the center NPC for seed packs, but to earn Choc Coins, you need mutated plants.

1. Plant Easter seeds in your Easter Garden Plot.
2. Water and tend them — apply mutation-boosting strategies from the Mutation Stacking Guide.
3. Harvest mutated Easter plants.
4. Sell them to the bunny NPC for Choc Coins.

Tip: Don't sell every mutated plant to the bunny. Some may be more valuable as submissions to the center NPC depending on their size. Balance your earnings between Choc Coins and seed pack progress.

Event Shop & Rewards

The left-side NPC opens the Event Shop where you spend Choc Coins on exclusive rewards.

Priority Purchase Order

1. Hootsie Roll pet — Crown jewel. Its XP buff benefits your entire garden, not just Easter plants. Get it ASAP so you benefit for the rest of the event.
2. Second shop pet — Details TBA, but a second pet is always valuable.
3. Easter Seed Packs — Only if you're running low on seeds.
4. Cosmetics and consumables — Grab last with leftover currency.

Hootsie Roll Pet — Stats & Abilities

The Hootsie Roll's ability is exceptionally powerful because it is not limited to Easter content. It grants bonus XP per second to all pets in your garden, which means it continues to be valuable long after the event ends. This is a garden-wide passive buff that compounds over time. If you can only afford one thing, make it the Hootsie Roll.

Easter Seed Packs — The 50-Plant Submission System

The center NPC runs the plant submission system — your primary way to earn Easter Seed Packs.

How It Works

1. The center NPC asks for plants of a specific size.
2. Grow Easter plants that meet the size requirement.
3. Submit qualifying plants — a progress bar tracks your submissions.
4. The bar requires 50 plant submissions to fill completely.
5. Each submission grants an Easter Seed Pack.
6. At 50 submissions, you receive a Premium Easter Seed Pack — significantly better reward.

Every single submission earns a reward — you don't have to wait until 50. The Premium pack is a milestone bonus on top of the 50 regular packs you already collected. Submit qualifying plants as soon as you grow them.

Best Strategy for Day 1

1. Log in and locate the Easter event area. Find all three NPCs (center, left, right).
2. Access your Easter Garden Plot. Note how many planting slots you have.
3. Plant starter Easter seeds. Fill every slot immediately with Candy Carrot seeds.
4. Check Event Shop prices. Note the Choc Coin cost for the Hootsie Roll — this is your target.
5. Check the center NPC's size requirement. Know what size plants qualify for submission.
6. Harvest and split: Qualifying-size plants → center NPC (seed packs). Mutated plants → bunny NPC (Choc Coins).
7. Replant immediately with seed pack rewards. Keep the Easter plot at 100% utilization.
8. Save Choc Coins for Hootsie Roll first. Don't buy anything else until you have the owl.
9. After Hootsie Roll, grind 50 submissions while continuing to sell mutated plants for remaining shop items.

The single most important Day 1 goal is getting the Hootsie Roll. Its garden-wide XP buff compounds over the entire event. Every hour without it is lost bonus XP.

Tips from Easter Event 2025

What Carried Over

• Event currency system: Choc Coins work similarly to previous event currencies
• NPC submission mechanics: "Grow to a specific size" mirrors past events
• Seed pack rewards: Popular mechanic from 2025, refined for 2026
• Mutation relevance: Mutations remain key to maximizing Choc Coin earnings

What's New in 2026

• Exclusive Easter Garden Plot: In 2025, event seeds went into regular plots. The dedicated Easter plot is brand new.
• Three-NPC system: Past events had one or two NPCs. Three NPCs creates a clearer, less confusing flow.
• Hootsie Roll's garden-wide buff: Previous event pets only buffed event content. Hootsie Roll boosts ALL pets — most impactful event pet ever.
• Per-submission rewards: In 2025, you needed thresholds. 2026 rewards every single submission plus a milestone bonus at 50.

No. All Easter seeds can only be planted in the Easter 2026 Garden Plot, a separate dedicated space.

What are Choc Coins and how do I earn them?

Choc Coins are the exclusive event currency. Earn them by selling Easter-mutated plants to the bunny NPC on the right side of the event area. Spend them in the Event Shop (left-side NPC).

What is the Hootsie Roll and why is it important?

A Mythical owl pet that grants bonus XP/s to all Easter-type pets and all pets in your garden. It is the most impactful reward because its buff is garden-wide, not limited to Easter content.

How does the 50-plant submission system work?

The center NPC asks for plants of a specific size. Each qualifying submission earns an Easter Seed Pack and advances your progress bar. After 50 submissions, you earn a Premium Easter Seed Pack as a bonus. You earn rewards at every step.

How long will the event last?

Based on past events, expect 2 to 3 weeks. We'll update this guide with the confirmed end date once announced.

Should I focus on Choc Coins or seed pack submissions first?

Choc Coins first to buy the Hootsie Roll ASAP. The XP buff makes everything else more efficient. After you have the owl, shift to the 50-submission milestone.

Will event items disappear after the event ends?

Pets and items purchased from the Event Shop (like Hootsie Roll) are permanent. The Easter Garden Plot and unharvested Easter plants will likely be removed. Harvest everything before the event closes.
