The Fall Market update has arrived in Grow a Garden, bringing several new pets, seeds, and gears, some of which are extra rare but super useful. With four specialized shops offering exclusive autumn-themed content and a unique Fall Bloom progression system, this limited-time event running until September 20, 2025 provides gardeners with incredible opportunities to expand their collections. I've thoroughly explored all four Fall Festival shops and compiled everything you need to maximize your rewards during this exciting seasonal celebration.
Contents
| Shop Type | NPC Name | Location | Key Items | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seeds | Elijah | Left of Fall Tree | Golden Peach, Kniphofia | 10M Sheckles |
| Pets | Avery | Left of Fall Tree | Fall Egg, Space Squirrel | 90M Sheckles |
| Gear | Danielle | Right of Fall Tree | Harvest Basket, Bonfire | 500K Sheckles |
| Cosmetics | Liam | Right of Fall Tree | Fall Fountain, Flying Kite | 10M Sheckles |
To access them, you can simply talk to the respective NPCs of these Fall shops at the center of the lobby. Unlike previous events, the Fall Market introduces a revolutionary shop system that requires active participation through the Fall Bloom mechanic to unlock premium items.
Before you can access every item, you must contribute to the Fall Bloom progress by submitting plants to the Fall Tree NPC. Here's exactly how it works:
The crop types the tree mostly asks for are: Tropical, Berry, and Flower plants. I recommend maintaining a diverse garden with all plant types before the event to maximize your contribution potential.
On the left of the Fall tree, at the center of the lobby, players can find the Fall Festival Pets shop. Avery the NPC offers an impressive selection of exclusive autumn-themed companions:
| Pet/Egg | Price (Sheckles) | Fall Bloom Requirement | Special Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fall Egg | 90 Million | No Requirement | Contains 5 exclusive pets |
| Red Squirrel | Direct Purchase | 4 Fall Blooms | Cooldown reduction for squirrel pets |
| Chipmunk | Direct Purchase | 7 Fall Blooms | Decorative companion |
| Sugar Glider | Direct Purchase | 10 Fall Blooms | Mutation chain effect |
| Space Squirrel | Premium Only | Special Event | "Space Oddnuty" ability |
The Fall Egg can hatch into five different pets, each with its own rarity and special abilities:
Swan: This is the new divine 1 percent drop-rate pet. Every 12 minutes and 43 seconds, it triggers a 15-second aura that gives all nearby pets +20 XP and 1.5 percent hunger restored per second.
The Elijah NPC hosts the Fall Festival Seeds at his shop, beside the pet shop in the main event hub. These limited-time seeds offer unique growth patterns and exceptional value:
| Seed | Price (Sheckles) | Fall Bloom Requirement | Growth Time | Special Properties |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Turnip | 10 Million | None | Standard | Basic fall crop |
| Parsley | 20 Million | 2 Fall Blooms | Fast | Herb category bonus |
| Meyer Lemon | 50 Million | 4 Fall Blooms | Medium | Citrus mutations |
| Carnival Pumpkin | 100 Million | 5 Fall Blooms | Slow | High base value |
| Kniphofia | 450 Million | 6 Fall Blooms | Very Slow | Rare mutations |
| Golden Peach | 900 Million | 7 Fall Blooms | Extended | Premium tier seed |
The Golden Peach stands out as the ultimate achievement seed, requiring maximum Fall Bloom progression and offering the highest potential returns in the game.
On the opposite side of the pet shop, you will find Danielle's Fall Festival Gears shop in Grow a Garden. This shop features the most diverse selection of functional items:
| Gear Item | Price (Sheckles) | Fall Bloom Requirement | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| Firefly Jar | 500K | None | Ambient lighting effect |
| Sky Lantern | 1 Million | None | Decorative floating light |
| Maple Leaf Kite | 15 Million | None | Player movement enhancement |
| Leaf Blower | 35 Million | 5 Fall Blooms | Enables leaf-based flight |
| Maple Syrup | 50 Million | 5 Fall Blooms | Crop growth booster |
| Maple Leaf Charm | 100 Million | 7 Fall Blooms | Luck enhancement item |
| Maple Sprinkler | 250 Million | 9 Fall Blooms | Advanced watering system |
| Bonfire | 500 Million | 10 Fall Blooms | Cooking & pet buff station |
| Harvest Basket | 750 Million | 11 Fall Blooms | Mass pet feeding tool |
The sprinkler temporarily boosts plant growth, mutation chance, and fruit size specifically for fall plants. I've found the Harvest Basket particularly valuable for efficiently managing large pet collections.
The Fall Festival Cosmetics shop is located beside the gears shop. By interacting with Liam, you can access the shop. Perfect for garden customization enthusiasts:
| Cosmetic Item | Price (Sheckles) | Fall Bloom Requirement | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fall Crate | 50 Million | None | Storage decoration |
| Fall Leaf Chair | 10 Million | 3 Fall Blooms | Seating furniture |
| Maple Flag | 15 Million | 5 Fall Blooms | Garden banner |
| Flying Kite | 25 Million | 7 Fall Blooms | Animated decoration |
| Fall Fountain | 1 Billion | 10 Fall Blooms | Premium centerpiece |
The Fall Fountain represents the ultimate cosmetic achievement, requiring both substantial currency and maximum event progression.

Focus on the exact plant types requested, use aged pets for bonuses, and coordinate with server members for synchronized submissions.
The Fall Market update represents Grow a Garden at its finest - combining strategic depth, community engagement, and seasonal charm into a must-play event. With four distinct shops offering over 30 exclusive items, the Fall Festival provides content for every player type, from casual decorators to hardcore collectors.
I rate this event 9/10 - losing a point only for the steep pricing on top-tier items like the Fall Fountain. The Fall Bloom progression system adds meaningful gameplay beyond simple grinding, while the shop variety ensures everyone finds something worth pursuing.
Whether you're hunting for the elusive Swan pet, building your autumn-themed garden paradise, or stockpiling exclusive seeds for future profits, the Fall Market delivers an experience that captures the cozy essence of fall while maintaining Grow a Garden's addictive progression loop.
