Grow a Garden's Easter Event 2026 launched on April 4, 2026, and a second wave of content arrived roughly a week later, bringing back the fan-favorite Candy Blossom alongside a new Evil Bunny quest system, exclusive pets, and a dedicated Easter garden plot. The event is a limited-time event, so every mechanic covered here is only accessible while it remains active.
Quick answer: To get a Candy Blossom 2026 Seed, you need 50 Golden Egg points and one Candy Blossom Shard, then turn them in at the Candy Blossom Stand via the Caitlyn NPC. Golden Eggs cost 25,000 Choc Coins each (doubling per purchase), and shards drop every 25 plant submissions to Jim the Venus Flytrap.
Easter Garden Plot and Easter Crops
Every player gains an "Easter 2026" option in the plot selector during the event. All Easter-prefixed seeds — Easter Candy Carrot, Easter Chocolate Berry, Easter Gumball, and so on — can only be planted in this special plot. Pets cannot be placed there. These Easter crops appear pink in your inventory with an easter egg icon and cannot go into your main garden.
Seeds that lack the "Easter" prefix (regular Candy Carrot, Chocolate Berry, Gumball, etc.) work in the main garden but cannot be used on the Event Islands. Keep this distinction in mind when buying from the shop or opening seed packs.
Choc Coins and the Easter Event Shop
Choc Coins are the primary event currency. You earn them by selling Easter crops at the Easter Sell Stand on the right side of the center island. The Event Shop NPC sits on the left side of the same island and stocks seeds, pets, and gear purchasable with Choc Coins, Robux, or Trade Tokens.
| Item | Choc Coins | Robux | Chance | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Easter Candy Carrot Seed | 10 | 59 | 100% | Common |
| Easter Chocolate Berry Seed | 50 | 139 | 100% | Uncommon |
| Easter Gumball Seed | 350 | 189 | 25% | Rare |
| Easter Liquorice Seed | 500 | 139 | 20% | Rare |
| Chocolate Sprinkler | 120 | 199 | 14.29% | Rare |
| Beaver (pet) | 2,500 | 419 | 12.5% | Rare |
| Easter Sugar Melon Seed | 640 | 339 | 12.5% | Legendary |
| Easter Chocolate Coconut Seed | 1,200 | 439 | 7.14% | Legendary |
| Gummy Bear (pet) | 7,500 | 479 | 7.14% | Legendary |
| Easter Gummy Cactus Seed | 10,000 | 499 | 6.25% | — |
| Hootsie Roll (pet) | 8,000 | 559 | 4.17% | — |
| Egg Melon Seed | 14,000 | 549 | 5% | — |
| Easter Sour Lemon Seed | 18,500 | 799 | 3.13% | — |
| Easter Eggfruit Seed | 50,000 | 1,299 | 1.67% | Prismatic |
The "Chance" column reflects the probability of successfully receiving the item when you attempt to purchase it. Lower-tier seeds are guaranteed, while rarer items require some luck — or repeated attempts.
Jim the Venus Flytrap Quests — Earning Shards and Seed Packs
Jim sits in the center of the middle event island. He requests specific Easter crops at specific weights, sometimes with a Choc mutation. A full quest cycle runs 50 submissions. Each submission rewards one Easter Seed Pack, an Exotic Easter Seed Pack drops every 50 submissions, and — critically — a Candy Blossom Shard drops every 25 submissions.
The quest list escalates in difficulty. Early requests are lightweight Easter Candy Carrots at 0.28 kg, but later entries demand Choc-mutated Easter Eggfruit at 3.6 kg or Choc Easter Chocolate Coconut at 16.8 kg. Plan your planting accordingly: grow higher-tier Easter crops early so you have mature plants ready when Jim's demands ramp up.
Crafting the Candy Blossom 2026 Seed
The Candy Blossom crafting station is on a sub-island. To craft one Candy Blossom 2026 Seed, you need to accumulate 50 Golden Egg points and hand over one Candy Blossom Shard. Regular Golden Eggs are worth 1 point each, while Premium Golden Eggs are worth 2 points.
Step 1: Earn a Candy Blossom Shard by submitting 25 plants to Jim the Venus Flytrap. The required submission count increases for each subsequent shard, so your first shard is the cheapest to obtain.
Step 2: Purchase Golden Eggs from the Golden Egg Shop on the left sub-island. The base price is 25,000 Choc Coins per egg, but the cost doubles with every purchase. For your first Candy Blossom seed, you need 50 eggs — meaning the total Choc Coin investment escalates quickly. Build a productive Easter garden before you start buying eggs in bulk.
Step 3: With 50 points' worth of Golden Eggs and one shard in your inventory, walk to the Candy Blossom Stand and interact with the Caitlyn NPC. She'll hand over the seed.
Each additional Candy Blossom seed costs more Golden Eggs and more shard submissions, so the first seed is by far the most accessible.
Elder Candy Blossom Upgrade
Players who already owned a Candy Blossom from a previous event can upgrade it into an Elder Candy Blossom using the Elder Candy Blossom Upgrader item. This is a reward exclusive to returning Candy Blossom owners — you do not need to re-craft the original plant. The Elder variant is a distinct plant that cannot be obtained any other way.
Evil Bunny Quests — Pets, Seeds, and Golden Eggs
The Evil Bunny NPC is located to the right of the main island. Interacting with him starts a mini-quest: he names a crop from your garden that you must destroy with a Shovel. Rarer crops and variant plants yield better reward rolls. There is a 10-minute cooldown between each submission.
| Possible Reward | Chance |
|---|---|
| 100 Choc Coins | 34.75% |
| 1× Blue Candypop Seed | 27% |
| 1× Easter Crate | 20% |
| 1× Golden Egg | 10% |
| 1× Stork (pet) | 5% |
| 3× Golden Egg | 2.5% |
| 1× Orchid Mantis (pet) | 0.50% |
| 1× Easter Sprout Seed | 0.25% |
The Easter Sprout Seed at 0.25% and the Orchid Mantis at 0.50% are the rarest drops. If you're farming for these, sacrifice your highest-rarity crops to maximize reward quality. The Blue Candypop Seed is the most common non-currency reward at 27%, making it relatively easy to collect.
Egg Hunts — Individual and Global
Two types of egg hunts run on separate timers. The Individual Egg Hunt triggers every 15 minutes and scatters eggs around the map for you to collect solo. The Global Egg Hunt fires every 60 minutes and is competitive — you can carry up to 3 eggs at a time, but other players can knock eggs out of your hands by hitting you with a shovel.
Both hunts share the same reward pool:
| Possible Reward | Chance |
|---|---|
| 500 Choc Coins | 30% |
| 1,000 Choc Coins | 15% |
| 1× Easter Crate | 15% |
| 2× Chocolate Sprinkler | 15% |
| 2,500 Choc Coins | 8% |
| 5,000 Choc Coins | 5% |
| 1× Golden Egg | 7% |
| 2× Golden Egg | 4% |
| 3× Golden Egg | 1% |
The Global Egg Hunt awards 1–3 rewards per completion, making it more lucrative if you can hold onto your eggs. The Individual Hunt is safer and more consistent for steady Choc Coin income.

New Mutations and Weather Events
The Easter Event 2026 introduced six crop mutations — Ash, Haze, Smoldering, Gummy, Blossoming, and Floral — along with eleven weather events, including Jandel Beanstalk, Jandel Festival, Jandel Stampede, Neon Rain, and Dominoes. Some of Jim's later quests require Choc-mutated crops, so pay attention to active weather conditions that can trigger the mutations you need.
The Easter Event 2026 is the first Grow a Garden event to feature a dedicated planting plot and the first to revisit a previous event's core concept. It was originally slated for March 28 but was pushed to April 4 after the Community Garden Event took that slot. Since the event is limited-time, prioritize Candy Blossom crafting and Evil Bunny farming while the islands are still accessible — once the event ends, these items and mechanics will no longer be obtainable.
