The Smithing Update in Grow a Garden has brought one of the biggest gameplay expansions the game has seen so far. This limited-time event transforms the peaceful gardening world into a crafting-focused adventure where players forge items, collect rare coal, dig for hidden treasures, and create powerful seeds, pets, and gears. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro farmer, the update adds fresh ways to progress, gather resources, and unlock exclusive rewards before the event ends. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know — from using the furnace and crafting benches to digging minigames, special recipes, and the smartest strategies to get rare items fast.

Grow a Garden Smithing Event (General Info)
- Event start: November 15, 2025. End date reported around November 22 or November 29 depending on source.
- Location: There is a special event hub/island in the game where the furnace & crafting stations are located.
- Key goal for players: Obtain coal, craft new items, dig treasure rewards, and participate in new event loops.
- Strategy tip: Because coal is central to crafting the best items, focus on gathering coal via submitting items at the furnace, digging, and crafting to get pets like the Smithing Dog which can passively dig coal.
- The event is time-limited — completing as many of the new recipes and digging opportunities during the window is important.
Key Mechanics
1. Submitting Items to the Furnace (Forge)
- Head to the event hub: there’s a furnace (or forge) and an NPC named Blacksmith Smith (or similar) in the central area.
- You must submit three items: one fruit/plant, one pet, and one gear. The combination triggers a reward.
- Steps:
- At the “Submit Fruit” window, hold a fruit and press key (e.g., ‘E’) to submit.
- At the “Egg Window” submit an egg / pet.
- At the “Gear Window” submit a gear.
- After submitting the third item, you’ll randomly get rewards: e.g., a piece of coal (various rarities), crafting time boosts, or other random crafting ingredients or weather events.
- Item quality matters: higher-rarity items increase your chance for rarer rewards (like Legendary or Divine Coal).
2. Crafting Workbenches
- There are four crafting benches in the event island: for Seeds, Pets, Gears, Cosmetics.
- Each bench uses recipes that combine materials including coal of various rarities, seeds, gears, etc. For example:
- Seed Workbench recipe example: Hollow Bamboo Seed requires Rare Coal + Legendary Coal + Bamboo Crop + Cactus Seed.
- Gear Workbench recipe example: Pet Shard Forger requires Gem Egg + Legendary Coal + Cleansing Pet Shard.
3. Treasure Digging Minigame
- A returning digging-minigame under the Smithing Event theme. You’ll have 10 digs daily to uncover crates, coal, eggs, etc.
- Process: open shop → “Dig Now” → a 5×5 grid appears, you pick cells to dig; uncover rewards.
- Reward list includes: Gem Egg, Common/Rare/Legendary/Divine Coal, Watering Can, Zucchini seed, etc with different probabilities.
4. Pet Age Break Machine
- A new QOL/crafting feature: the Pet Age Breaker (sometimes called Pet Age Break Machine) lets you increase a pet’s age beyond the cap if you meet requirements: you need a level 100+ pet and a duplicate pet.
Tips to Get the Most Out of the Event
- Prioritise coal acquisition — since coal is needed for many crafting recipes, focus first on getting Common/Rare coal and build up to Legendary/Divine. Methods:
- Submit items at the furnace (maximize rarity of items submitted).
- Use the Smithing Dog pet: once crafted it passively digs coal over time.
- Daily treasure digs: make sure you use all your digs every day before reset.
- Use higher-quality items when submitting for rewards; better chance at higher rarities.
- Visit every crafting bench and check what recipes you can fulfil given your materials.
- Time your digs and crafting: since the event is time-limited, maximise your playing each day so you don’t miss exclusive items.
- Leverage the Pet Age Breaker if you have a strong pet (level 100+), as this gives long-term value.
- Check for weather events triggered via rewards — they may boost yields or crafting speeds during the event.
Quick FAQ
- Where is the forge/furnace? In the middle of the event island/map, central hub for the Smithing Update.
- How long does the event last? From Nov 15 2025, running roughly a week (some sources say until Nov 22) or until Nov 29 according to wiki.
- Can I still play after the event end? The event components may disappear or become legacy; priority is to complete during the window.
- What’s the most valuable item? Divine Coal (rarity) and exclusive new pets/seeds; but the Smithing Dog gives passive coal over time if you invest.
- Is treasure digging worth it? Yes — it’s a free daily resource and gives chances for exclusive rewards. Use digs daily.
