Grow a Garden Easter Part 3 Update (June 2026) Complete Guide
Grow a Garden just dropped its third and final Easter update, and our team has been digging through every detail. Update 1.47.0 landed on April 18, 2026, bringing the biggest Easter event yet with two brand-new gameplay modes, five new plants, four new pets, and more reward tiers than you can shake a chocolate bunny at.
If you have been playing Grow a Garden this season, you know the Easter events have been building toward something special. We have been tracking the Grow a Garden gear tier list as new items dropped, and Easter Part 3 is hands-down the most content-rich update in this series.

Here is the thing though: the event closes on April 26, 2026. That gives you roughly a week to grab everything. Our guide covers every new feature so you can prioritize what matters most to you.
Candy Packaging Event Guide
The Candy Packaging event is your main grind for this update. You submit plants to receive Chocolate Coins, which stack up toward reward tiers. It sounds simple, but our team spent hours figuring out the most efficient approach.
There are 28 solo reward tiers and 12 team reward tiers. Solo tiers let you progress independently, while team tiers require coordination with other players. Players in the community have been sharing their frustrations about team rewards being confusing, so let us break it down clearly.
For solo play, focus on submitting high-value plants first. The more valuable the plant, the more Chocolate Coins you get per submission. If you are grinding with a squad, split your submissions strategically so you both hit tier thresholds together.
One thing our team noticed: the Candy Blossom mutation plays a role here. Candy Blossom appears when you grow specific plant combinations, and submitting these mutated plants gives bonus coins. We have seen players report significant boosts from focusing on mutation chains rather than submitting everything indiscriminately.
Pro tip from the community: check the latest Grow a Garden codes before you start grinding. Some codes have active bonuses that multiply your Candy Packaging rewards.
Egg War Event Guide 2026
Egg War is the competitive hourly event that has the community buzzing. Every hour, players compete to collect eggs, with different egg qualities requiring different strategies. Our team spent a solid evening testing this mode, and it is more nuanced than it first appears.
There are five egg varieties in Egg War. Higher quality eggs take longer to collect but score more points. Lower quality eggs are grab-and-go but worth significantly less. The tradeoff is real: our team found that going for Golden Eggs specifically resulted in fewer total eggs collected compared to mixing in quicker grabs.
Here is where it gets interesting. Players who grab eggs faster but in lower quantities often outscore those chasing rare eggs slowly. We saw this pattern repeat across multiple rounds.
Mobile users have been reporting struggles with Egg War controls. If you are playing on a phone, the egg collection radius feels tighter than on desktop. Our recommendation: position yourself centrally in the play area and move in short bursts rather than chasing eggs across the map.
Golden Eggs deserve special mention. These are the rarest drops and appear randomly. Multiple players have reported farming for hours without seeing one. If you get lucky enough to spot a Golden Egg, grab it immediately because they do not stay on the map long.
New Plants in Easter Part 3
Five new plants joined the roster in this update, and one of them sits at the top of the rarity chain. Our team has been monitoring seed drops, and the community consensus is forming quickly.
Waddling Willow is the headline act. This Divine-tier seed is the rarest plant added in Easter Part 3. Players report finding Waddling Willow seeds extremely infrequently, and when you do plant one, the growth time is longer than standard crops. The payoff appears to be worth it based on early gameplay footage, but we need more data to confirm exact yields.
Marshmallow Root falls into the uncommon category. This plant has a shorter growth cycle compared to Waddling Willow, making it more accessible for regular farming. Community members have been using Marshmallow Root for steady Candy Packaging submissions rather than chasing rare drops.
Bonnet Bloom brings visual variety with its distinctive shape. Early testers note it has moderate rarity and a medium growth cycle. It is not a showstopper in terms of rarity, but it fills a comfortable middle ground for consistent play sessions.
Egg Shroom is exactly what it sounds like: a mushroom shaped like an Easter egg. Players are loving the aesthetic. From a gameplay standpoint, it has decent value for Candy Packaging and a growth time that lets you cycle through several harvests per play session.
Bunny Berry rounds out the new plants. This one has generated buzz because of its name and the berry category, which typically offers good mutation potential. Our team expects Bunny Berry to become a mutation chain favorite once players experiment more with cross-breeding.

New Pets from Springtide Egg
The Springtide Egg is your gateway to four new pets, plus their Gilded variants. Our team has been tracking hatch rates, and the consensus from the community is clear: Springtide Eggs are not easy to obtain. Players report getting roughly one Springtide Egg after extensive play sessions, which matches what we heard in forum discussions.
When you finally get a Springtide Egg, here is what you might hatch:
Peryton is a deer-like creature with winged features. The community has been sharing screenshots of Peryton hatches, and the design has been well-received. Early impressions suggest Peryton has solid stats, but we need more comprehensive tier lists to confirm where it sits overall.
Spring Bee brings bee aesthetics with spring-themed coloring. Players have noted its animation when following you around the garden, and the consensus is positive. If you want to compare it against other pets, our Reaper pet guide covers pet stat comparisons that might help put Spring Bee in context.
Jerboa is a small desert rodent with spring event styling. The community has been calling Jerboa an underrated hatch in early discussions. Its small size makes it cute for garden ambiance, though we recommend checking detailed pet comparisons for practical utility.
Nyala rounds out the Springtide Egg lineup. This antelope-styled pet has been generating excitement for its elegant design. Community members who have hatched Nyala seem satisfied with the drop rates and visual appeal.
Each pet also has a Gilded variant that appears with different coloring. Gilded versions are purely cosmetic and do not change stats, but they are rare status symbols in the community.
Candy Blossom and Additional Features
Beyond the headline events, Update 1.47.0 includes the Candy Blossom mutation. This special mutation triggers when you grow certain plant combinations, and it has been a favorite among players who enjoy discovering hidden mechanics.
The Candy Blossom mutation produces a visually distinct plant that carries bonus rewards when submitted to Candy Packaging. Community members have been experimenting with different plant combinations to trigger it consistently, though no definitive pattern has emerged yet.
Patch notes for this update mention several quality-of-life improvements. Admin weather controls got adjustments, and the sprinkler system received minor tweaks. Players who have been dealing with sprinkler targeting issues reported improvements, though some edge cases remain.
Compared to Easter Parts 1 and 2, this final installment feels like the culmination. Part 1 introduced the basic Easter theme, Part 2 added more plants and the first event mechanics, and Part 3 delivers full event platforms with meaningful progression systems. If you played the earlier events, Part 3 should feel like a substantial step forward.
For those looking to avoid the competition during peak hours, using private server links can give you a quieter farming environment. Some players have been using private servers specifically for Candy Packaging grinding to avoid interference during team events.
