Grow a Garden is a free .io farming game where you kick off with a tiny plot, a handful of carrot seeds, and big dreams of building an empire. It’s all about steady growth and smart management—keep the tab open to catch every moment of progress. Start with humble carrots and tomatoes, then level up to a stunning paradise packed with rare blooms, exotic fruits, and jaw-dropping crops that scream “master farmer!”

How to Play Grow a Garden

Grow a Garden is the kind of game you boot up for “just five minutes” and suddenly realize it’s been two months. Rotating community rooms, nonstop rewards, and a never-ending growth cycle make it impossible to walk away.

You begin with $10 carrot seeds—plant once, harvest once, gone. Next up: strawberries for $50, blueberries at $100, and “rare” tomatoes for $800. The pricier the seed, the bigger the payoff.

Planting and harvesting basics:

  1. Buy seeds, click them in your inventory to hold.
  2. Click brown soil patches to plant wherever you like.
  3. Wait for growth (chat with other farmers or browse the shop).
  4. When ripe, hit E to harvest and cash in.
  5. Sell your haul at the market.

Once you’ve nailed the basics, you’ll be hooked on saving for the ultimate prize: the moon blossom, worth tens of millions.

Grow a Garden - The Road to the Moon Blossom

Before the moon blossom, you’ll unlock a wild lineup of crops: eggplant, bamboo, peppers, beanstalks, pumpkins, cacao, cauliflower, cacti, watermelons, dragonfruit, mangoes, coconuts, nectarines, pears, avocados, bananas, pink lilies, pineapples, kiwis, candy blossoms, cherry blossoms, sugar apples… and more.

Slow and steady wins, but snag a candy blossom or cherry blossom and your income will skyrocket into six or seven figures.

Deck Out Your Garden & Pets

What’s all that cash for? Eggs from the egg shop! Every garden can have up to five pets. They auto-harvest for you—even when you’re offline—so you’ll return to a backpack full of surprises.

Pro tip: Your backpack holds just 100 items. Sell often—single items, custom prices, or dump the whole inventory. Pricing rare, shiny fruits is half the fun.

Mutated Plants

Mutations trigger during weather events and boost sell prices. Types include: Silver, Golden, Rainbow, and GIANT (massive plants—super rare).

Five weather events are live, with more on the way: Daytime, Nighttime, Desert, Rain, and Frost. Updates keep rolling out new seeds, weather, mutations, and crops.

Community Gifts

Grow a Garden thrives on its players. Depending on the room, generous farmers might drop expensive flowers or fruits right into your lap.

Downside? Rare thefts. But kindness wins out. If someone swipes your stuff, you’ll get a notification—call them out in chat and they usually back off.
