Grow a Garden rolls out the Beanstalk and Garden Guide update, introducing a collaborative yet competitive event where players work together to grow a giant beanstalk in the garden. Beyond the event itself, the update brings a host of new rewards, a permanent cooking feature, and new achievements designed to deepen the game’s garden life.
