Grow a Garden: Friendship Update — What It Included
The Friendship Update was a limited-time event in Grow a Garden built around playing with others: friend pots, garden likes, and an expansion of the game’s earlier bee-themed content, alongside new seeds, pets, and gear. It ran for about a week in June 2025 and closed long ago, but the features it introduced folded into the game’s ongoing rotation of seasonal content.
Grow a Garden remains one of Roblox’s biggest games, with over 35 billion visits logged and tens of thousands of players online at any given moment. More than 5 million players marked themselves interested in the Friendship Update before it wrapped, a sign of how closely its audience — over 11 million favorites and counting — follows each new update.

What was in it
The developer, The Garden Game, framed the update around cooperation rather than solo play, billing it as making the game “better with friends.” It added:
- Friend pots, a planting mechanic tied to playing alongside other players
- Garden likes, letting players show appreciation for each other’s gardens
- An expansion of the game’s earlier limited-time bee event, with extra content built on top of it
- New seeds, pets, and gear tied to the friendship theme
When it ran
The Friendship Update opened June 7, 2025 at 10:00 AM ET and closed June 14, 2025 at 6:00 AM ET, a run of about a week.
How it fit the game’s rhythm
Grow a Garden rarely goes long without something new. Alongside recurring Watering Wednesday sessions — short events that repeat on a weekly schedule — the game rotates through week-long themed updates back to back, recent examples being a multi-part Campfire event and a Summer update, each picking up close to where the last left off. The Friendship Update, with its bee-event tie-in, was an earlier entry in that same pattern of building on previous content rather than replacing it outright.
