How to complete Safari Harvest Event in grow a garden?

The Safari Harvest Event in Grow a Garden is one of the most exciting limited-time updates, giving players a chance to explore a new tropical-themed area, plant exclusive event crops, and unlock rare safari-themed rewards. During this event, players can collect and submit plants to Safari Joyce, earning Harvest Points that contribute both to personal progress and global community milestones.

Whether you’re a casual gardener or a dedicated event grinder, understanding how to efficiently grow, harvest, and contribute is key to making the most out of this limited event.

How to complete Safari Harvest Event – Step-by-step guide

1. Join the game & find the event hub
   • After the update, a new event island/hub appears in the lobby. Look for the large tree / booth sign labeled Safari Harvest and the NPC Safari Joyce.
2. Get event seeds / plants
   • Buy the new Safari event seeds from the event shop or obtain them from event crates/activities. Plant those in your garden plots.
3. Grow and harvest the plants
   • Water/fertilize as needed. Save harvested plants if a submission window has a bonus or if you want to contribute rarer variants. Planting early and letting crops stack so you can submit quickly when the event window opens.
4. Submit plants to Safari Joyce
   • Talk to Safari Joyce and submit the specific plant type she requests (the requested types can vary by server). Each plant gives a certain number of harvest points based on rarity. Accumulate 500 personal points to earn an individual reward. Silver/Gold/Rainbow variants add extra points (+1/+2/+3 or similar modifiers).
5. Claim rewards
   • Every time you reach 500 contributed points you get a random individual reward from the event reward pool (see reward list below). There are also community milestones (server- or game-wide) that, when reached, unlock items in the Safari Shop or add large rewards (zebra whistle, safari egg at milestone tiers, etc.).
6. Repeat / farm efficiently
   • To maximize rewards: focus on high-point plants, use fertilizers/sprinklers to speed growth, and join servers with active players to accelerate milestones. If the event gives limited eggs/pets as community rewards, coordinate with friends/discord groups to hit milestones faster.

Mechanics & useful details

• Which plants give more points: Rarer plants and higher-tier variants (silver/gold/rainbow) provide more points. Some variants add +1/+2/+3 bonus points to the base. Save those for submissions.
• Submission changes per server: The NPC may ask for different plant families per server/session — always check the current request before spending rare plants.
• Limited items: Items like the Safari Egg are often limited-time / tied to milestones and may be rare — prioritize community milestone progress if you want those.

Best strategies (maximize progress & rewards)

1. Pre-plant before submission windows — plant event seeds ASAP so you have large harvests ready.
2. Save silver/gold/rainbow variants for when Safari Joyce requests that plant type (they multiply your contribution).
3. Use sprinklers / fertilize to speed growth and get more harvests per hour.
4. Coordinate for milestones — join active servers or play with a group to hit server-wide goals; community rewards are often the most valuable.
5. Watch event guides / YouTube walkthroughs for specifics on each new plant/pet ability (creators often show exact seed sources and efficient farm routes).
