The Garden Games Event in Grow a Garden brings a fresh approach to seasonal events. Unlike previous events that required heavy resource grinding or complex crafting chains, this event focuses on simple, fun objectives. Players can complete carnival-themed quests, earn Carrot Coins, and spin the Carnival Wheel for unique rewards.
The event is designed for both casual and dedicated players. You do not need to manage multiple currencies or complicated crafting processes. Instead, you can focus on planting crops, harvesting, and interacting with friends to earn coins and prizes.
Earning Carrot Coins
Carrot Coins are the main currency for the event. Every coin gives you one spin on the Carnival Wheel, so maximizing coin earnings is key to getting the best rewards. There are three main ways to earn Carrot Coins: completing quests, exchanging Trade Tokens, and purchasing coins with Robux.
Greg, the carnival host, offers a range of quests in three difficulty tiers: Easy, Medium, and Hard. Each tier rewards different amounts of Carrot Coins based on time investment.
Here's your optimal quest progression path:
- Clear all Easy quests first for quick initial coins
- Prioritize Medium harvest quests over planting quests (harvesting is faster)
- Save Hard quests for when you're actively playing with friends
- Stack similar objectives by working on multiple quests simultaneously
Medium-tier quests such as harvesting 300 Blueberries or 100 Carrots are particularly effective because they fit naturally with regular crop rotations. Planting quests can also be worthwhile, but harvesting objectives are faster and more efficient.

Trade Token Exchange
If you've accumulated Trade Tokens from previous events or trading activities, converting them to Carrot Coins provides an instant boost. This method works best when you're close to a major milestone or want to guarantee specific rewards before the event ends.
Important
Calculate your Trade Token reserves carefully. Once converted to Carrot Coins, you can't reverse the transaction, so ensure you won't need those tokens for future trading opportunities.
Carnival Wheel Rewards
The Carnival Wheel contains all the event rewards. Every spin uses one Carrot Coin, and rewards are divided into three main categories: cosmetics, carnival pets, and rare seeds.
Carnival Crates and Cosmetics
Carnival Crates include cosmetic items that enhance your garden visually. Crates have different drop amounts and probabilities:
Examples of cosmetics include the Carnival Ribbon, Magic Bunny, Unicycle, Fire Ring, Carnival Arch, and Carnival Flag. These items do not affect gameplay but make your garden look festive.
Carnival Eggs and Pets
Carnival Eggs contain exclusive pets that provide passive bonuses for farming efficiency. Drop rates are similar to crates:
Possible pets include the Unicycle Monkey, Performer Seal, Bear on Bike, Show Pony, and Carnival Elephant. The 50-egg jackpot is rare but can unlock all five pets in a single spin.

Warning
The Kernel Curl Seed appears at only 1% drop rate. Don't expect to obtain it quickly unless you're planning extensive spinning sessions.
Kernel Curl Seed
The Kernel Curl Seed stands alone as the event's rarest and most mechanically valuable reward. When planted, it periodically boosts the growth speed of nearby plants, creating efficiency zones in your garden layout. Strategic placement near high-value crops maximizes its impact on your overall production.
Similar to mechanics in the Mega Safari Harvest Event, optimal seed placement requires understanding growth radius mechanics and crop arrangement patterns.
Bonanza Bloom Seed
The Bonanza Bloom Seed represents a limited-time purchase opportunity during the Carnival Games Event. Unlike wheel rewards, you'll buy this seed directly from the Seed Shop using either Sheckles or Robux. The seed doesn't appear on the Carnival Wheel drop table.
Carnival Wheel Strategy
If you want to complete all collections, save Carrot Coins and spin in bulk. This reduces frustration from low-value drops and allows you to track progress more efficiently.
For casual players, spinning a few times each day after completing Medium quests is effective. This method ensures steady progress without heavy grinding.
Players chasing the 50-egg jackpot or Kernel Curl Seed should focus on quest completion and token conversion. Buying Carrot Coins with Robux is an option if you want to maximize your chances.
