How to Acquire Zen Eggs in Grow a Garden
For those eager to get their hands on Zen eggs, there are two straightforward methods available that won’t cost you any Robux. By completing simple tasks like submitting mutated plants to a new NPC or using the new currency, players can easily obtain these eggs. Here’s how:
1. Collecting from Unk the Monk NPC
Start your journey by visiting the Monk Unk NPC located centrally in the play area. Submit plants that have the Tranquil mutation to earn free Zen eggs. This approach is the most economical, as it requires no in-game currency. Simply wait for the Zen Aura event to spawn, which happens every hour, for a chance to obtain the Tranquil mutation.

Once you submit your Tranquil mutated plants, the progress bar next to the Monk will fill, helping to grow a tree that rewards you with random Zen-themed items as it levels up. There’s a good chance you’ll receive Zen eggs along the way.
2. Purchasing from the Zen Shop
If you prefer not to wait long hours, the Zen shop offers another option for obtaining Zen eggs. Players can utilize Chi points to interact with the Brown Raccoon NPC beside the Monk and purchase Zen eggs directly.

After acquiring Zen eggs, simply place them in your garden to hatch new Zen pets. Remember, the Zen shop refreshes every hour, but you can restock items by spending a few Sheckles and clicking the restock button located at the top-right of the shop.
Top Zen Egg Pets Worth the Investment
Having explored how to obtain Zen pets, let’s delve into which pets provide the best value for your garden. After extensive testing in the latest update, we’ve identified the following pets that stand above the rest:
- Kitsune: Clearly a top contender, Kitsune not only delivers a random fruit but also enhances it with the Chakra mutation. Its potential for a second mutation makes it superior to the Racoon.
- Kappa: With its low cooldown, Kappa ensures that a majority of your garden fruits receive the Wet mutation and potentially the Bloodlit mutation, significantly increasing profits from fruit sales.
- Shiba Inu: Currently, its passive ability resembles that of the Dog and Golden Lab, yet it boasts a shorter cooldown, enabling you to gather more seeds efficiently.
