The Ghoul Garden event in Grow a Garden brings three exclusive Halloween shops offering spooky seeds, creepy pets, and eerie decorations. During this limited-time event running from October 11-25, 2025, players can earn Candy Corn currency to purchase exclusive items including the Ghostly mutation-inducing Great Pumpkin Seed, rare pets like the Reaper, and haunting decorations for their gardens.
| Shop Type | NPC | Currency | Key Items | Shop Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spooky Seeds | Sam | Candy Corn | Great Pumpkin, Poison Apple | Every 45 mins for 15 mins |
| Creepy Critters | Raphael | Candy Corn | Spooky Egg, Reaper | Every 45 mins for 15 mins |
| Devilish Decor | Isaac | Candy Corn | Ghost Lantern, Skull Chain | Every 45 mins for 15 mins |
The Ghoul Garden event introduces several key mechanics that players need to understand to maximize their Halloween shopping experience. Unlike regular shops in Grow a Garden, these Halloween shops operate on a special schedule and use unique currency systems.
Contents
The Halloween shops don't remain open permanently. Instead, they appear during special "Halloween Night" events that occur every 45 minutes and remain available for only 15 minutes. This limited availability creates urgency and requires players to plan their shopping sessions carefully.
Pro Tip: Set a timer or check the in-game countdown clock to ensure you don't miss the shop windows. The event timer is prominently displayed near the event area in the lobby.
Candy Corn serves as the exclusive event currency for all Halloween purchases. Unlike regular in-game currency, Candy Corn can only be obtained through specific event activities:
The amount of Candy Corn you receive depends on your contribution level and leaderboard position, with top contributors receiving bonus rewards including exclusive Spooky Eggs and decorative items.
Located to the left of the central Jack-O'-Lantern tree, the Spooky Seeds shop offers the most coveted items of the event - exclusive Halloween-themed seeds that can only be obtained during this limited-time event.
| Seed Name | Candy Corn Cost | Robux Alternative | Special Properties |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bloodred Mushroom | 15 | 129 | Fast-growing, decorative |
| Jack O'Lantern | 20 | 179 | Glowing effect, seasonal |
| Ghoul Root | 25 | 279 | Underground growth pattern |
| Chicken Feed | 30 | 459 | Attracts special pets |
| Seer Vine | 40 | 629 | Climbing plant with vision effects |
| Poison Apple | 50 | 749 | Rare mutations possible |
| Great Pumpkin | TBA | TBA | Grants Ghostly mutation to crops |
| Banesberry | TBA | TBA | Dark magic properties |
| Hexberry | TBA | TBA | Curse/buff effects |
Expert Strategy: Prioritize purchasing the Great Pumpkin Seed first, as it's the only seed that can grant the exclusive Ghostly mutation to other crops in your garden. This mutation significantly increases the value and rarity of affected plants.
Situated behind the central event tree, the Creepy Critters shop specializes in Halloween-themed pets and pet eggs. These exclusive companions cannot be obtained through any other means in the game.
| Pet/Egg Name | Candy Corn Cost | Robux Alternative | Rarity | Special Abilities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spooky Egg | 30 | 149 | Legendary | Contains 5 random pets |
| Pumpkin Rat | 40 | 179 | Rare | Harvesting bonus |
| Ghost Bear | 70 | 267 | Epic | Ghostly appearance |
| Wolf | 80 | 349 | Epic | Night vision effect |
| Reaper | 140 | 519 | Legendary | Death harvest ability |
Spooky Egg Contents: The Spooky Egg is particularly valuable as it contains one of five exclusive pets:
Pro Tip: The Spooky Egg offers the best value for Candy Corn, as even the common pets from this egg have unique abilities not found in regular pet eggs.
Found to the right of the central tree, the Devilish Decor shop offers haunting decorations and cosmetic items to transform your garden into a spooky masterpiece.
| Decoration Name | Candy Corn Cost | Robux Alternative | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pumpkin Crate | 20 | 179 | Storage with Halloween theme |
| Ghost Lantern | 11 | 119 | Ambient lighting effect |
| Tombstones | 22 | 189 | Graveyard aesthetic |
| Casket | 33 | 239 | Large decorative piece |
| Skull Chain | 44 | 239 | Hanging decoration |
Design Strategy: Combine the Ghost Lantern with Tombstones to create an eerie graveyard atmosphere in your garden. The ambient lighting from the lanterns creates dramatic shadows around the tombstones, enhancing the spooky effect.
To make the most of your Halloween shopping experience, you'll need to optimize your Candy Corn collection strategy. Here are the most effective methods:
The Witch's Cauldron in the event hub serves as the primary method for earning Candy Corn. Here's how to maximize your returns:
Reward Tiers:
The Jack-O'-Lantern NPC appears every 2 hours for only 5 minutes, making timing crucial:
Note: The Jack-O'-Lantern has a chance to give no reward, making this method less reliable but still worth the effort when available.
The event features a special Halloween Forever Pack with both free and paid versions. Understanding the reward structure can help you decide if the paid version is worth your investment:
Free Pack Rewards:
Paid Pack Rewards:
Investment Analysis: The paid pack offers significantly better value for dedicated players, especially those aiming to collect all event items. The high Candy Corn rewards alone can justify the cost for serious collectors.
Since shops only appear for 15 minutes every 45 minutes, efficient shopping is crucial:
Recommended Shopping Order:
Halloween shops appear every 45 minutes during the Ghoul Garden event and remain open for exactly 15 minutes. You can track the next shop appearance using the countdown timer in the event area.
The most reliable method is contributing to the Witch's Cauldron, especially aiming for top contributor status. The Jack-O'-Lantern NPC offers additional Candy Corn but appears less frequently (every 2 hours for 5 minutes).
All Halloween shop items are limited-time exclusives available only during the Ghoul Garden event (October 11-25, 2025). Once the event ends, these items cannot be obtained through normal gameplay.
Yes, most items have Robux alternatives, but they're typically more expensive than the Candy Corn prices. Candy Corn purchases offer better value for event participants.
The Great Pumpkin Seed is unique because it can grant the Ghostly mutation to other crops in your garden. This exclusive mutation significantly increases crop value and rarity, making it the most sought-after event item.
The free version offers basic rewards, while the paid version provides substantial Candy Corn (up to 1,000,000) and rare items. For dedicated players planning to collect all event items, the paid pack offers excellent value.
Based on previous Grow a Garden events, limited-time items typically don't return in future events. The Ghoul Garden items are likely to remain exclusive to the 2025 Halloween event.
The Ghoul Garden event represents one of the most content-rich Halloween celebrations in Grow a Garden history. With three distinct shops offering exclusive seeds, pets, and decorations, players have numerous opportunities to enhance their gardens with spooky seasonal content.
