The Fairy Event Part 2 update is one of the largest additions ever added to Grow a Garden. With it comes a brand-new explorable world, new crafting items, a rare currency system built around catching fairies, and several exclusive pets, seeds, and cosmetics. If you’re not sure where to start or what to focus on, this guide covers everything step-by-step.
Grow a Garden Fairy Update Part 2 – New Codes, Fairy World
How the Fairy World Works
Every 30 minutes, a portal will open somewhere on the map. When it appears, you can walk into it to enter the Fairy World — a limited-time area that stays open for 10 minutes.
Inside the Fairy World, you’ll find:
- Floating platforms with collectible orbs that give you rewards.
- Easier access to roaming fairies.
- Four different NPC shops that trade rare items for either Fairy Points or Fairy Jars.
If you’re already inside when the portal timer ends, you can stay in the Fairy World. This lets you take more time to explore and collect items — unless this behavior gets patched later.
How to Catch Fairies
To catch roaming fairies, you must craft and use Fairy Nets.
Fairy Net Recipe
- 1 Picked Sunbulb
- 1 Strawberry Seed
- 1 Harvest Tool
- 100 Fairy Points
You can craft Fairy Nets at the second crafting bench located in the Fairy Event area. Each net takes 30 seconds to craft. Every time you catch a fairy, you receive a Fairy Jar. These jars are required for most event rewards and crafting.
You’ll need to craft dozens, even hundreds, of nets if you want to unlock everything in the update.
Fairy Crafting Items
At the same bench where you make Fairy Nets, you can also craft:
- Fairy Caller – Summons a roaming fairy.
- Fairy Targeter – Highlights fairies on the map.
- Fairy Summoner – Triggers a full fairy wave.
- Fairy Power Extender – Increases the duration of the next Fairy Wave.
- Luminous Wand – Turns the next Fairy Wave into a Luminous version.
- Glimmering Radar – Tracks glimmering fairies.
These tools all help with catching fairies or improving the quality of your harvests.
The AFK Method (Passive Catching)
One trick that works well is standing near the Fairy Godmother NPC and using an auto-clicker. Many fairies fly through this path as they enter and leave your garden, and you can catch them automatically this way. This method is ideal for building up Fairy Jar count passively, especially overnight.
All Fairy World Shops
Inside the Fairy World, there are four unique NPC shops:
1. Lumina (Main Event Shop)
Sells:
- Enchanted Chest (25,000 Fairy Points)
- Luminous Wand
- Luminous Mutation Spray
- Luminous Sprite pet (requires catching up to 3,000 fairies)
You can also submit 100 Fairy Jars to this NPC in exchange for a bonus item like an Enchanted Chest.
2. Elder Wisp Caretaker (Pet Shop)
Sells:
- Wisp Pet
- Drake Pet
- Pet Shards
All purchases require Fairy Points.
3. Elder Wisp Architect (Cosmetic Shop)
Sells:
- Enchanted Crate
- Glimmering Crate
- Wisp Well (required for the Wisp pet passive to work)
4. Elder Wisp Gardener (Seed Shop)
Sells:
- Enchanted Seed Pack
- Pixie Fern
- Untold Bell
These plants are exclusive to the event and have high sell values, but very long grow times.
New Seeds in the Update
| Seed Name | Where to Get | Sell Value (Approx) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emerald Bud | Enchanted Chest | Up to 4 million (with buffs) | Common but scales well |
| Pyroanther | Enchanted Chest | ~110,000 shekels | Visually impressive |
| Pixie Fern | Seed Shop | 169k – 259k shekels | Easy to get, short grow time |
| Untold Bell | Seed Shop | Up to 259k shekels | Takes ~9 hours to grow |
| Aether Fruit | 1% Chest Drop | ~90,000 shekels | Rare, slow to grow |
All seeds grow faster with boosts like Windstruck or pet abilities.
