How to Play Grow a Garden: Plant, Harvest and Sell for Beginners

Grow a Garden, the Roblox gardening game, starts you with two empty dirt plots, a shovel, and 20¢ in Sheckles. That is enough to run the whole core loop once. You buy seeds, plant them, pick what grows, and sell it back for more money than you spent. Nothing in it costs Robux.

Quick answer: Click “SEEDS”, buy two Carrot Seeds from Sam for 10¢ each, click “GARDEN”, plant both, press E on each grown carrot, then click “SELL” and tell Steven “I want to sell my Inventory”.

The top bar holds three teleport buttons, “SEEDS”, “GARDEN” and “SELL”.
Your money sits in the bottom-left corner, shown with the ¢ sign.
Hotbar slot 1 holds the “Shovel [Destroy Plants]”.
A tutorial banner at the top tells you what to do next.

The shovel does exactly what its label says. Keep it away from your crops.

How to buy seeds from Sam

Click “SEEDS” on the top bar. This only teleports you to the seed stall. No shop window opens yet.

Walk up to Sam until a “Talk” prompt appears, then press E. The tutorial banner reads “Talk to Sam!” at this point, so you know you’re in the right place.

Select the Carrot Seed card. Sam begins with “Here are the seeds that are in stock”; each card lists the available quantity, seed name, rarity, and cost. Choose a card to bring up its row of buy buttons.

Click the “10¢” button twice. Each click buys one seed right away, with no confirmation box. Two clicks spend the full 20¢, and your money drops to 0¢.

The purchase lands in your backpack as “Carrot Seed [X2]”, and the hotbar shows Carrot Seed in slot 2 with x2. The card’s stock count drops as well, from X22 to “X20 Stock”.

Seeds in Sam’s shop

Carrot is the only seed you can afford at the start. The rest of the lineup shows what the money is eventually for.

Seed	Rarity	Cost
Carrot	Common	10¢
Strawberry	Common	50¢
Blueberry	Uncommon	400¢
Tomato	Rare	800¢
Corn	Rare	—
Daffodil	Rare	—
Apple	Legendary	—
Pumpkin	Legendary	—
Coconut	Mythical	—
Dragon Fruit	Mythical	—

Stock is limited, and the pricier seeds often read “NO STOCK”. The shop header counts down to the next refill with a timer such as “New seeds in 1m 52s”, and the shelves restock when it hits zero. The same header has an “Odds” button, and the shop has two tabs, Shop and Daily Deals.

How to plant and harvest carrots

Close the shop with its X. If you skip this, your next click lands on the shop window instead of the top bar.

Click “GARDEN” to teleport back to your two plots.

Press 2 to equip the Carrot Seed, then click each dirt plot. A floating “Carrot” label appears over the plot with a green countdown, such as “7.6s\*”, and the carrot grows in a matter of seconds.

Your first crop also triggers a pop-up for the “Your first carrot!” badge. Once the timers run out, a grown carrot stands on each plot.

Walk right up to a grown carrot until the “Collect” prompt shows on it, then press E. Repeat for the second plot.

You need to be within about 10 studs of a plant for E to work. The key has no effect from the other side of the garden, so move beside the plant first.

Harvested carrots enter your inventory as separate items, with each weight shown in its name. The first appears in hotbar slot 2 as “Carrot [0.35kg]”; the second is in slot 3 as “Carrot [0.34kg]”.

How to sell crops to Steven

Use the top-bar “SELL” button to teleport to the market.

Walk to the red-and-white “SELL STUFF” stall. When the prompt over the shopkeeper reads “Steven” and “Talk” with an E key icon, press E.

Click the only dialogue option, “I want to sell my Inventory”. Steven buys the carrots you’re carrying in one go.

I want to sell my Inventory dialogue option — Steven's only option: "I want to sell my Inventory"

You’ll know it worked three ways. Steven replies “Here Is 62¢”, your balance in the bottom-left jumps from 0¢ to 62¢, and the carrots vanish from your hotbar. That is 20¢ of seeds turned into 62¢, which is enough to head back to Sam and repeat the loop with more seeds or a pricier crop.

Grow a Garden Robux buttons you can ignore

Every step above runs on the free starting Sheckles. Several buttons along the way charge Robux instead. They are optional, and a beginner doesn’t need any of them.

The yellow “Pass” button on the left side of the screen.
The “RESTOCK” button in the seed shop header, which refills stock instantly.
The purple Robux price button on an expanded seed card. It first reads “???” and then shows a price, 3 Robux for one Carrot Seed.
The blue “Gift” button on the same card.
The “Harvest All” sign beside the sell area, which carries a Robux price.

When buying seeds, click the button with the ¢ price. That one spends Sheckles, and the rest of the row spends Robux.
