Comprehensive Guide to Hosting a Garden Zen Event

The primal chapter of Grow a Garden culminates in a dramatic Armageddon, setting the stage for a tranquil new beginning. With the age of deserts and dinosaurs behind us, players are now welcomed into the era of Zen, featuring an exciting new event filled with opportunities for growth and discovery. This event introduces a plethora of new seeds, currency, and adorable pets, but navigating through these additions may prove challenging for some.

Understanding the Zen Event in Grow a Garden

The Zen Aura is a newly introduced weather phenomenon in Grow a Garden that activates every hour. During this time, players will see their gardens transformed with floating maple leaves and delicate white clouds. The Zen Aura lasts for a brief 10-minute interval, during which a blue aura envelops the garden, instilling the Tranquil mutation randomly on selected fruits.

Managing your time during the Zen Aura event doesn’t require constant game presence, alleviating the pressure of real-time tracking.

Introducing the Tranquil Mutation

Once the Tranquil mutation is applied to one of your crops, players can trade it for valuable Chi Points or Zen currency. To achieve the Tranquil mutation, keep active throughout the Zen Aura event or use the special Tanchozuru pet, or acquire a Tranquil mutation pet within your garden.

Exploring the Zen Shop

Your first destination to utilize the Tranquil mutation fruits is the Zen Shop, which operates on Chi Points.

Understanding Chi Currency

Chi Points are the exclusive currency of the Zen Shop during this limited-time event. Players can either trade individual plants or opt for the “Take all my Tranquil plants” feature to streamline transactions.

After making a trade, the amount of Chi will be displayed on the left side of your screen, above your Sheckles total. Growing the Zen Tree also contributes to acquiring Chi Points, offering an additional avenue for obtaining this valuable currency.

What to Find in the Zen Shop

The Zen Shop features a wide selection of items that can be purchased using your Chi Points. Within this collection, players will discover new seeds, seed packs, eggs, and much more. Although you can restock items using Sheckles, strictly Chi Points are needed for purchases.

Here’s a comprehensive list of items available in the Zen Shop during the event:

Item	Use
Zen Seed Pack	Unlock New Zen plants
Zen Egg	Unlock New Zen pets
Hot Spring	Nihonzaru bath for small XP boost to other pets
Zen Sand	Cosmetic item
Zenflare	Rare new plant
Zen Crate	Cosmetic item
Soft Sunshine	Legendary new plant
Demand	Fortune fish: boosts egg hatch luck
Zen Gnome Crate	Zen-themed gnomes
Spiked Mango	Mythical new plant
Pet Shard Tranquil	Grants Tranquil mutation to a selected pet

Note that the shop restocks every hour, and certain items are initially locked. Unlocking these items requires upgrading the Zen Event tree, which brings us to the significant role of Unk the Monk!

Engaging with Unk the Monk and the Zen Tree

Players can approach the monk to submit their collected Tranquil fruits. By donating these fruits to Unk the Monk, you accrue Zen and help fill his progress bar. It’s important to note that the Zen value is related to the plant’s rarity, mirroring the Chi value mechanics. As you complete the progress bar, the magnificent tree behind him flourishes.

Each completed level unlocks more items in the Zen Shop. In addition, players receive bonuses such as Zen Seed packs, Chi, crates, and Zen Pet Eggs. Thus, nurturing the tree becomes crucial, especially for players eyeing exclusive rewards like the Spiked Mango or enhancing their pets with the Tranquil mutation.
