Grow a Garden Guide: Tips & Tricks in Completing Fall Market Event

The Fall Market Event in Grow a Garden is one of the most anticipated updates of the season, and it gives players a refreshing new reason to return to their gardens daily. Unlike smaller seasonal additions, this event builds on the core farming loop and adds meaningful rewards that you cannot get anywhere else. The concept is simple on the surface: feed plants into the seasonal tree to progress and unlock event stands. However, the deeper you go into the event, the more important strategy and consistency become.

If you are aiming to complete the event, this guide will walk you through how it works, the best plants to use, and how to approach the grind in a way that gets you the most rewards without wasting effort.

What is Fall Market Event

The Fall Market revolves around a large seasonal tree that you feed with plants from your garden. Every plant you contribute pushes the tree closer to the next level. As the tree grows, you unlock progress toward four different event stands: pets, seeds, cosmetics, and gear. These stands are the source of the exclusive Fall Market rewards.

The process is not complicated. You plant, harvest, and feed, then wait for the cooldown before doing it again. Over time, the event becomes a test of patience, resource management, and prioritization. Since plant values differ, players who understand which fruits are more effective will reach the rewards faster.

How to Get Started in Fall Market

To participate in the Fall Market Event, head to the seasonal event hub where you will see the special tree and the four stands. Once there, you can begin feeding the tree with plants you have grown in your garden.

Here is what you need to remember when starting:

• Feeding is tied to a cooldown system. You cannot continuously feed the tree without waiting.
• Every contribution moves the progress bar for everyone in the lobby, so it helps to play with active players.
• The more you feed, the more the tree grows, unlocking better rewards as the event continues.

The entire event is designed around repetition, so planning your sessions around cooldowns will give you a big advantage.

Choosing the Right Plants

The single most important factor in this event is understanding which plants are valuable. The Fall Market rewards you for being selective. Some plants give much higher points when fed into the tree, while others are basically filler. Using the wrong ones can slow down your progress significantly.

From the testing and community feedback so far, the plant rankings look like this:

High Value Plants

• Sugar Apples: These are the best option. They give the highest points and should be your top priority.
• Dragon Fruits: Reliable and effective, they sit just under sugar apples in terms of value.

Medium Value Plants

• Coconuts: Decent, worth using if you have no sugar apples available.
• Hive Fruit: Not as strong as sugar apples or dragon fruit but better than apples.

Low Value Plants

• Regular Apples: These give poor returns and should be avoided unless you have no other option.
• Common woody plants: Most are low impact and are not worth the grind in this event.

A smart approach is to plant and stockpile sugar apples early so you always have the best plants ready to go when cooldowns reset.

Rewards and Event Shops

The event rewards are divided across four themed stands. Each one unlocks progressively as you continue feeding the tree.

• Pets Shops: Includes exclusive creatures like the Space Squirrel, which is one of the most sought-after rewards in the event.
• Seeds Shops: Contains seasonal seeds that allow you to grow Fall-themed plants you cannot obtain elsewhere.
• Cosmetics Shops: Offers skins, outfits, and decorative items tied to the fall theme. These are more about style and bragging rights than gameplay.
• Gear Shops: Includes useful tools and special gear. The standout here is the Golden Acorn, which appeals to players who enjoy collecting rare event gear.

Each stand has its own progression requirements. This means you need to steadily feed and grow the tree if you want to unlock everything.

Fall Market Event Strategy

Succeeding in the Fall Market comes down to pacing yourself and using your resources wisely. Here are some practical strategies that can help you finish the event with less stress:

1. Time Your Cooldowns: The cooldown system is the biggest limiter. Set alarms or reminders so you can log back in right when the cooldown ends. Missing a reset slows down your entire grind.
2. Join Active Lobbies: Since tree progression is shared, you benefit when other players contribute. Playing in lobbies where people are feeding regularly helps the tree level faster.
3. Stockpile the Best Plants: Focus your farming cycles around sugar apples and dragon fruit. These will carry your progress. If you wait until mid-event to start farming them, you may fall behind.
4. Avoid Wasting Low Value Plants: Feeding apples and other weak plants feels productive but gives poor results. Save those for smoothies or normal farming tasks.
5. Pace Yourself: The event becomes more difficult the further you go. Do not burn out in the first few days. Steady contributions will get you further than short bursts of heavy grinding.
