Garden Horizons' first major update introduced the IGMA Seed Pack, a bundle of five exclusive seeds tied to a fictional in-game company called IGMA. These seeds cannot be purchased from Bill's Seed Shop or obtained through any other event or method in the game. The only ways to get them are by completing quests from the Botanist NPC or by spending Robux in the shop.
Quick answer: Walk to the Botanist NPC beside the Gear Shop, press E, select "What you need?", gather mutated crops matching her request, then choose "Donate all matching crops" to receive one IGMA Seed Pack per completed quest.
All Seeds in the IGMA Seed Pack
Each IGMA Seed Pack contains one seed pulled from a pool of five plants. The drop rates shift depending on whether you open a Normal or Premium version of the pack, with the Premium variant weighting rarer seeds more heavily. The Octobranch is guaranteed after 250 attempts if you haven't pulled one naturally.
| Seed | Rarity | Sell Value | Normal Pack Rate | Premium Pack Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biohazard Melon | Common | $28 | 54% | 44% |
| Lablush Berry | Uncommon | $55 | 30% | 33% |
| Starvine | Rare | $360 | 12% | 16% |
| Radiant Petal | Epic | $5,000 | 3.5% | 5.5% |
| Octobranch | Legendary | $6,000 | 0.5% | 1.5% |
Radiant Petal and Octobranch stand out as the high-value pulls. At $5,000 and $6,000 base sell value, respectively, landing either of these makes the grind worthwhile on its own. The common Biohazard Melon won't earn you much per harvest, but it fills out your Flora Guide and adds visual variety to your garden.
Botanist NPC Quest Walkthrough
The Botanist NPC — sometimes referred to as Maya by players — is located next to the Gear Shop in the main area of the map. She offers a total of 40 quests, and each completed quest rewards one Normal IGMA Seed Pack. After you finish all 40, she gives you a single Premium IGMA Seed Pack with improved drop rates.
Step 1: Approach the Botanist and press E to open her dialogue. Select the third option, "What you need?" to activate her current quest.
Step 2: She will request mutated crops carrying a specific mutation, such as Sandy, Foggy, or Starstruck. The type of plant does not matter — only the mutation on it counts. She also requires the donated crops to reach a combined weight of 1.5 kg total, so you can submit multiple lighter plants rather than one heavy one.
Step 3: Farm crops with the required mutation. Multi-harvest plants like tomatoes, strawberries, potatoes, and bananas are efficient here because they keep producing fruit, giving you more chances at the right mutation. Stacking sprinklers on your crops increases their weight and speeds up growth, meaning fewer individual plants are needed to hit the 1.5 kg threshold.
Step 4: Return to the Botanist and select the fifth dialogue option, "Donate all matching crops." The plants are removed from your inventory, and you instantly receive one IGMA Seed Pack. A new quest becomes available immediately.
Premium IGMA Seed Pack Pricing (Robux)
If you'd rather skip the mutation grind, Premium IGMA Seed Packs are available in the in-game shop for Robux. The bulk bundles offer a slight discount per pack.
| Quantity | Robux Cost | Cost per Pack |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Pack | 169 | 169 |
| 3 Packs | 449 | ~149.7 |
| 10 Packs | 1,299 | ~129.9 |
The Premium packs purchased with Robux are identical to the one earned after completing all 40 Botanist quests. They share the same improved drop rates shown in the table above.
Farming Tips for Faster Completions
Weather events in Garden Horizons directly influence which mutations appear on your crops. Tracking the weather schedule and logging in during relevant events is the most reliable way to get the specific mutation the Botanist requests without wasting time on random rolls.
Prioritize high-weight crops to minimize the number of plants you need per submission. A few heavy mutated fruits will clear the 1.5 kg requirement faster than dozens of lightweight ones. Using turbo and super sprinklers accelerates both growth speed and final weight.
Pack your garden tightly with multi-harvest plants and let mutations accumulate over time — even AFK sessions work here. Once your inventory fills up with mutated crops, visit the Botanist and donate everything that matches in one trip.
IGMA Seed Pack vs. Dawn and Gardener Seed Packs
Garden Horizons currently has three seed pack families. The Dawn Seed Pack and Gardener Seed Pack are available through the shop and contain their own exclusive plants like Emberwood, Dawn Blossom, Orange, and Olive. The IGMA Seed Pack differs in one important way: its Normal variant can be earned entirely for free through gameplay. The five IGMA seeds are also completely unique to this pack and do not overlap with any shop stock or other pack contents.
From a pure sell-value perspective, the Octobranch at $6,000 and Radiant Petal at $5,000 are competitive with the best drops from other packs. The IGMA pack's free acquisition path makes it the most accessible high-value pack currently in the game, provided you're willing to put in consistent quest work with the Botanist.
The IGMA Seed Pack is one of the better additions from Garden Horizons' first update. Forty free packs plus a Premium bonus at the end is a generous reward structure for what amounts to routine mutation farming. If you're already growing crops and tracking weather events, folding the Botanist quests into your daily routine takes minimal extra effort — and the Octobranch alone makes it worth the time.
