Garden Horizons' Mythical update replaced the previous Manny event with a new recurring IGMA event centered on an NPC named Rosalind. She's the head of the IGMA field research team, stationed on the platform above the main shopping area, and she wants one thing: Strange mutated plants. You hand them over, she converts them into points, and those points unlock a long ladder of rewards — culminating in an exclusive Mythical seed.
Quick answer: Harvest crops during the Strange weather event, then bring the Strange-mutated plants to Rosalind on the platform to the left of Bill's Seed Shop. Each plant earns points based on its rarity (Common = 1, Mythical = 6), and rewards unlock automatically as your total climbs toward 500.
Where to Find Rosalind
Rosalind is located on the elevated platform behind the Seed Shop and Sell Stand. Head to the main square where Bill's Seed Shop sits, then look to the left of the shop for a flight of stairs. Climb to the top, and you'll find Rosalind alongside a crew of agent-style NPCs, a helicopter, and an open-air lab setup. She introduces herself as the head of the IGMA field research team, collecting samples of Strange plants for examination.
When you interact with Rosalind, you get several dialogue options: "Who are you?", "Turn in Strange Plants", "Submit all Strange Plants", "How much is this worth?", "See Rewards", and "Goodbye." The two you'll use most are "Turn in Strange Plants" (for individual submissions) and "Submit all Strange Plants" (which checks your entire inventory at once).
How the Strange Weather Event Works
The Strange mutation triggers on a recurring timer tied to the IGMA event. When the countdown on the platform reaches zero, the sky darkens and neon-green lightning strikes across the map. Any plants currently growing in your garden have a chance to receive the Strange mutation during this window. Mutated crops display a distinctive green flame effect around them.
The Strange weather event arrives roughly every 30 minutes and lasts around 5 minutes, though some players report slightly different intervals. Staying online and keeping your garden cycling through harvests is the most reliable way to stockpile Strange crops over time.
Turning in Strange Plants to Rosalind
Step 1: After the Strange weather passes, harvest all the mutated crops from your garden. Strange plants are visually marked by green flames, so they're easy to spot.
Step 2: Open your inventory and use the search bar on the right side. Type "Strange" to filter only the mutated crops you need. This saves time if your inventory is cluttered.
Step 3: Return to Rosalind on the platform. You can either hold each Strange crop individually and select "Turn in Strange Plants," or use the "Submit all Strange Plants" option to let her scan your entire inventory and collect every Strange-mutated item at once.
Step 4: Rosalind will tell you how many points each submission is worth and display your running total. Points are cumulative and are not deducted when you claim rewards — every threshold you pass unlocks its reward permanently.
Points Per Crop Rarity
The number of points you earn per Strange plant depends entirely on the base rarity of the crop, not its weight or any other mutation stacking. Higher-rarity plants are worth significantly more.
| Crop Rarity | Points Per Plant |
|---|---|
| Common | 1 |
| Uncommon | 2 |
| Rare | 3 |
| Epic | 4 |
| Legendary | 5 |
| Mythical | 6 |
This means farming higher-rarity crops is far more efficient. Apple trees are a strong choice because they produce multiple fruits per harvest and sit at Rare rarity (3 points each). Bananas and tomatoes also work well for volume. Watermelon and Pineapple yield the most points per plant at 6 each, but since most players only have one or two of these Mythical seeds, they're not practical for sustained farming.
All IGMA Event Rewards From Rosalind
Rewards unlock automatically as your cumulative point total hits each threshold. You don't spend points to claim them — once you reach a milestone, the reward is yours, and your points keep counting toward the next one.
| Points | Reward | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Strawberry Seed | x3 |
| 10 | Beetroot Seed | x3 |
| 20 | Tomato Seed | x3 |
| 30 | Basic Sprinkler | x2 |
| 50 | IGMA Seed Pack | x1 |
| 75 | Apple Seed | x2 |
| 100 | Rose Seed | x2 |
| 125 | Turbo Sprinkler | x2 |
| 150 | IGMA Seed Pack | x3 |
| 175 | Wheat Seed | x3 |
| 200 | Banana Seed | x2 |
| 230 | Royal Seed Pack | x1 |
| 260 | Favorite Tool | x4 |
| 300 | Plum Seed | x2 |
| 330 | Royal Seed Pack | x3 |
| 360 | Super Sprinkler | x1 |
| 400 | Potato Seed | x2 |
| 430 | Trowel | x1 |
| 470 | IGMA Seed Pack | x5 |
| 500 | Lilystalk Seed (Mythical) | x1 |
The final reward at 500 points is a Lilystalk Seed, a Mythical-rarity plant that serves as the crown jewel of the entire questline. The mid-tier rewards are valuable too — multiple IGMA Seed Packs, Royal Seed Packs, a Trowel, and Favorite Tools all help expand your garden's capabilities.
New Seeds and Items Added With This Update
Alongside the IGMA event, the Mythical update introduced two new purchasable seeds at Bill's Seed Shop and a new tool at Molly's Gear Shop.
| Item | Rarity | Cost | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Watermelon Seed | Mythical | $2M | Single-harvest plant with a base sell price around $250K — the highest in the game for a single-harvest crop |
| Pineapple Seed | Mythical | $15M | Multi-harvest plant with a base sell price around $50K per fruit, rivaling Cabbage for money-making potential |
| Reverter | Mythical | $1M | Removes a fully grown plant from your garden and returns the seed to your inventory |
The Reverter is especially useful if you want to rearrange your garden layout without permanently losing expensive seeds. Use it on any fully grown plant, and the seed goes straight back into your inventory ready to be replanted elsewhere.
A third new seed, the Lumen Bark, was distributed for free to players who participated in the most recent Admin Abuse event. It's classified as Legendary (not Mythical) with a base sell price of $12,000 — decent but not in the same league as Watermelon or Pineapple.
Fastest Way to Farm Points
Efficiency comes down to two factors: crop rarity and harvest volume. You want plants that produce the most Strange-mutated fruits per cycle at the highest rarity you can sustain. Apple trees are the sweet spot for most players — they're Rare (3 points each), produce multiple apples per tree, and seeds are relatively accessible. Tomatoes follow similar logic at Rare rarity with high yield.
If you have Epic or Legendary crops like Bananas or Plums, plant as many as you can before each Strange weather cycle. The jump from 3 points (Rare) to 4 or 5 points (Epic/Legendary) per plant adds up fast over multiple cycles. Keep your garden cleared and replanted between events so every growing slot has a chance to mutate when the green lightning strikes.
The IGMA event with Rosalind is a temporary addition, so prioritize farming Strange plants while it's active. Reaching 500 points for the Lilystalk Seed takes sustained effort across multiple Strange weather cycles, but the reward track hands out useful seeds, sprinklers, and packs along the way — making every turn-in worthwhile even if you don't hit the top tier immediately.
