The long-awaited Beanstalk Event has arrived in Grow a Garden Update 1.19.0, making history as the first event focused entirely on a single crop. Running from August 16 to August 23, 2025, this event introduces a unique server-wide collaboration system where players must work together to grow a massive beanstalk that reaches the Grow a Garden Giants in the clouds.
This guide covers everything you need to know: mechanics, shop items, new seeds, pets, and strategies to maximize your rewards.
Core Mechanics of the Beanstalk Event
The Beanstalk Event runs on an hourly cycle and emphasizes teamwork:
- Convert Fruits to Fertilizer – Every hour, all players in a server contribute by turning fruit into fertilizer.
- Submit Plants to Jack (NPC) – Players donate crops from specific categories to help grow the Beanstalk.
- Beanstalk Growth – The tree grows taller each hour, eventually reaching the Giants above.
- Unlock Goliath’s Goods – Once the Beanstalk is fully grown, players gain access to the exclusive shop at the summit.
The event encourages continuous participation, as the more contributions your server makes, the faster everyone reaches the rewards.
