The Google Garden event in Grow a Garden has just launched, and if you’ve jumped in early, you’ve probably realized that farming candy corn and other rewards can be both fun and surprisingly strategic. After testing the event extensively, here’s a comprehensive guide on how to maximize your progress and make the most of your time in the game.

1. Starting with the Witch’s Cauldron

At the center of the map, you’ll find the witch and her cauldron, the core mechanic for this event. To earn candy corn, eggs, and pumpkin crates, you simply need to fill her cauldron with plants from your garden. Rarity matters: higher-tier plants or variants give you more points per submission. While sugar apples can give around 30% per turn, the simplest and most efficient strategy is to focus on tomatoes. They may yield only 15% per inventory, but they grow quickly, allowing you to fill the cauldron repeatedly without downtime.

A typical session involves harvesting a few inventories of tomatoes—about three full loads plus a little extra—and submitting them to the witch. This will net you a steady flow of candy corn, which you can then use in the event’s shops to buy grow a garden items or prepare for future farming strategies.

2. Leveraging Inventory and Pets for Efficiency

Players often overlook the advantages of pets and garden expansions. Normally, you can carry up to 200 plants in your inventory, but achievements and certain pets, like pack bees, can expand this limit. Using these tools effectively allows for larger submissions and faster farming.

There’s also the “harvest all” feature, which costs only nine Robux. This tool can clear large amounts of plants from your garden in one click, significantly speeding up the process. While using lower-point fruits like blueberries can technically work, it’s far more efficient to stick with medium-tier plants such as tomatoes or, if available, coconuts and mangoes for slightly better returns.

3. Advanced Farming: The Jacko’Lantern and Halloween Mutations

For players looking to take their event farming to the next level, the Jacko’Lantern introduces a more complex system. It requires plants with Halloween mutations, which can be obtained through rare pets or special seeds. Pets like the ghost bear or T-Rex spread spooky mutations, enabling more points when feeding the Jacko’Lantern.

Timing is crucial here: Jacko’Lanterns spawn on timers—one with a four-minute countdown and another roughly every hour—and only stay active for a few minutes. Securing pets and mutation-ready plants in advance ensures you can capitalize on these brief windows and maximize candy corn yields.

4. Efficient Use of Candy Corn

Once you’ve collected candy corn, it’s not just for show. Players can spend it on various grow a garden items to enhance future farming sessions. Focusing on items that increase plant yield, inventory slots, or mutation chances will accelerate your progress in both this event and ongoing garden growth. U4GM is another resource some players reference for tips or acquiring game items efficiently, though in-game strategies remain the backbone of success.

5. Strategy Recap

In short, the most practical approach for the Google Garden event is:

• Prioritize fast-growing, medium-tier plants like tomatoes for steady cauldron submissions.

• Expand your inventory using pets or achievements to submit more at once.

• Use the harvest all feature judiciously to speed up clearing large gardens.

• Plan ahead for Jacko’Lantern farming by acquiring pets that grant Halloween mutations.

• Spend candy corn strategically on grow a garden items that enhance long-term efficiency.

By following these strategies, you can farm candy corn effectively, build your garden, and position yourself for success in the upcoming stages of the event.

Summary

The Google Garden event rewards preparation, timing, and efficient use of resources. While the basic cauldron method is straightforward, integrating pets, mutations, and strategic inventory management transforms the experience from casual to optimized. Focus on steady farming, plan for the Jacko’Lantern, and use your candy corn wisely to get the most out of this seasonal event.
