Experience a whole new level of tranquil farming with the latest Zen Event Update in Grow a Garden. Whether you're a veteran player or just starting your gardening adventure, this update introduces unique mechanics, serene visuals, and rewarding progression—making your garden flourish in harmony!
What Is the Zen Event in Grow a Garden?
The Zen Event is a limited-time celebration centered around peace and growth. Every hour, a mysterious Zen Aura envelops your garden for 10 minutes, granting random fruits the special Tranquil mutation. These fruits don't just look stunning—they sell for 20x their regular price and can be traded for exclusive Zen rewards.
Tranquil Mutation – How to Get Tranquil Plants
- Participate in Zen Aura Events: Every hour, the Zen Aura activates in your garden for 10 minutes. During this window, select crops may spontaneously develop the Tranquil mutation—these are visually distinct, glowing with unique effects and marked by rare Japanese Kanji symbols.
- Maximize Your Mutations: For higher chances, plant and harvest as many crops as possible during the Zen Aura. The more crops available in your garden, the more likely you'll see Tranquil mutations.
- Special Pet Abilities: Pets such as Tanchozuru and Kitsune have skills that may induce the Tranquil mutation even outside the Zen Aura period. Owning or activating these pets increases your flexibility to gather Tranquil Plants throughout the event.
Earning Chi Points – Event Currency Breakdown
- Trading for Chi: Once you've collected Tranquil Plants, visit the Tanuki NPC at the Zen Shop within the event area. Trading in your Tranquil Plants directly converts them into Chi Points, the exclusive currency for Zen Event purchases.
- More Value for Rarer Plants: Different Tranquil Plants yield varying amounts of Chi Points depending on their rarity or type—the rarer or more unique the plant, the greater the reward.
- Use of Chi Points: Spend Chi Points in the Zen Shop on premium, time-limited items: new Zen-themed plants, exclusive pets (including Zen Eggs), cosmetic upgrades, and special gameplay boosts.
Growing the Zen Tree – How to Earn Zen Points
- Nurture the Zen Tree: Deliver Tranquil Plants to Unk the Monk in the event hub to contribute toward the Zen Tree's growth. Each Tranquil Plant you offer advances the tree's progress bar.
- Leveling Up Rewards: Each time the Zen Tree levels up, you unlock additional tiers of rewards in the Zen Shop. Tree progression also directly grants extra Zen Seed Packs, Zen Eggs, and unique cosmetics as milestone bonuses.
- Strategic Tips: Focus on submitting higher-value Tranquil Plants if available, as they may boost your contributions more efficiently. Track your Zen Tree's progression on the event hub display to time your turn-ins for maximum efficiency.
