With the latest Beanstalk expansion update, gardeners can now unlock exciting new abilities for their pets, including the unique Giant Bean mutation. While many mutations focus on enhancing crop growth, the Giant Bean mutation is designed to expedite your pet’s growth. If speeding up your pet’s development is your goal, this guide will walk you through obtaining the Giant Bean pet mutation in Grow a Garden.
How to Acquire the Giant Bean Pet Mutation Shard in Grow a Garden
The Giant Bean pet mutation is accessible exclusively via the Pet Shard GiantBean. Here are two effective methods to acquire this valuable shard:
1. Friendship Shop
You can purchase the GiantBean Pet Shard using Sheckles at the Friendship Shop. Follow these steps:
- Prepare food items by following Grow a Garden‘s cooking recipes and feed them to the Giant NPC.
- Continue feeding until the Friendship tab in the Beanstalk Shop reaches Level 5.
- When the Giant Bean Pet Shard is available, you can buy it for 15, 000, 000 Sheckles or restock using Sheckles.


Alternatively, you can craft the Pet Shard using the Beanstalk Crafting Table. For crafting, you’ll need the following ingredients: 3x Beanstalk, 1x Cleansing Pet Shard, and 15, 000 Sheckles.
Once you have the materials, use the following steps to craft it in Grow a Garden:
- Approach the crafting table and press the
E
key to interact. - Select the recipe for the Pet Shard GiantBean and click the green Craft button.
- Hold the required items in your hand and submit them at the crafting station.
- Wait for the timer to finish, then press the
E
key again to collect your item.


To apply the Giant Bean mutation to your chosen pet, left-click on the pet while holding the shard. Note that the pet cannot possess any other mutations; otherwise, the existing mutation will be replaced by the new Giant Bean mutation. If you mistakenly select a pet, a Cleansing Pet Shard will be required to rectify the situation.

Tips for Increasing Your Chances of Obtaining the Giant Bean Pet Mutation
Acquiring this shard is simpler compared to previous ones. Yet, regardless of obtaining it through purchase or crafting, availability relies on shop stock.
- Gather Cleansing Pet Shards: The crafting option is relatively hassle-free and requires only a few Beanstalks. Keep an eye on the Grow a Garden Gear Shop for Cleansing Pet Shards.
- Restock the Friendship Shop Early: The Friendship Shop refreshes its stock every hour. Use Sheckles to procure the GiantBean Pet Shard more effectively and restock well before the auto-reset to prevent delays.
Should You Pursue the Giant Bean Pet Mutation Shard?
Definitely! The Giant Bean shard is an excellent choice if your priority is rapidly leveling up your pets. The perk of 50XP per second for each Beanstalk in your garden significantly accelerates pet progression.
Beanstalks are relatively straightforward to cultivate, allowing for a plentiful supply, which maximizes XP gains for your pets. Additionally, compared to older types of shards, this one is easier to obtain, whether through direct purchase or crafting.
However, be mindful that your pet’s hunger rate increases by 15%, necessitating more frequent feedings. While hunger management is simplified by the ability to feed them food items, acquiring those resources can become tedious if luck is not on your side. For those dedicated to developing stronger pets quickly, the Giant Bean shard is undoubtedly worth your investment — just be prepared to handle the increased feeding demands.
Once you secure this shard, remember to apply it to your most valuable pets in Grow a Garden. This concludes your guide on acquiring the Giant Bean pet mutation. Have you explored the new Admin War update seeds yet? Share your experience in the comments below.
