Grow a Garden Easter Part 3 Update (April 2026) Complete Guide

The Grow a Garden Easter Part 3 Update (Update 1.47.0) released April 18, 2026, brings the final installment of the 2026 Easter Event with two major events: Candy Packaging and Egg War. This update introduces 5 new plants, 4 exclusive Springtide Egg pets, and limited-time rewards that won’t return after the event ends April 26, 2026. I’ll cover everything you need to know about maximizing your rewards, unlocking the Peryton and Spring Bee pets, and mastering the new event mechanics before time runs out.

Grow a Garden Easter Part 3 Update: What’s New

Update 1.47.0 marks the third and final phase of Grow a Garden’s 2026 Easter Event, building on the previous Easter content with entirely new mechanics and rewards. Unlike earlier phases that focused on basic egg hunting and spring-themed cosmetics, Easter Part 3 introduces two interconnected events that require strategic planning and teamwork. The Candy Packaging event transforms how you earn rewards, while Egg War adds competitive PvP elements to the traditional egg collection formula.

This update also brings five new Easter-themed plants that serve dual purposes: they’re valuable for Candy Packaging submissions and profitable for your garden’s economy. The Springtide Egg introduces four new pets (Peryton, Spring Bee, Jerboa, and Nyala) with unique abilities, along with rare Gilded Chocolate variants that collectors are already hunting. What makes this update particularly time-sensitive is the brief window—only eight days from release to the event end date of April 26, 2026.

Community response has been overwhelmingly positive, with players on r/growagarden praising the developers for extending the holiday event with substantial content rather than letting it fade quietly. The addition of team-based progression through Candy Packaging’s team rewards has created new opportunities for coordination, while Egg War’s hourly spawn schedule has players planning their login times around the 10-egg drops.

Candy Packaging Event: Complete Guide

The Candy Packaging event is the centerpiece of Easter Part 3, centered around the new Wally Wrapper stall that appears during the event. Here’s how it works: you submit candy and Easter-themed plants to Wally Wrapper in exchange for Chocolate Coins, which you then use to progress through reward tiers. The event features two separate progression tracks—solo rewards with 28 tiers and team rewards with 12 tiers—meaning you can earn rewards independently while contributing to a collective team goal.

For submissions, Wally Wrapper accepts regular candy drops from your garden, plus the five new Easter plants introduced in this update. Each submission earns you points toward your solo progression and contributes simultaneously to your team’s total. This dual-track system means even casual players can unlock solo rewards while active teams accelerate through the 12 team tiers for exclusive group bonuses. The Chocolate Coins you earn can be spent in the event shop on exclusive items, Springtide Eggs, and limited-time cosmetics.

What makes Candy Packaging strategic is understanding which submissions yield the most points per unit of effort. The new Easter plants (Waddling Willow, Marshmallow Root, Bonnet Bloom, Egg Shroom, and Bunny Berry) grant significantly higher point values than regular candy, making them essential for efficient progression. However, these plants also require Easter Seed Packs to grow, creating a resource management decision between using seeds for submissions versus planting them for ongoing candy production.

The solo reward track contains 28 tiers, with milestone rewards at every 5 levels including Springtide Eggs, Chocolate Sprinklers (which boost candy production), and exclusive Easter cosmetics. The team track’s 12 tiers move faster but require coordinated submissions from multiple players. Team rewards include bonus Chocolate Coins, rare seed packs, and a unique team-only cosmetic that displays your contribution level. Both tracks conclude with exclusive rewards that won’t be available after April 26, 2026.

I found that joining an active team on Discord or Reddit significantly accelerated my progression. Teams with 5+ active members can complete the team track in 2-3 days of coordinated play, while solo players focusing on efficient Easter plant farming can expect 5-7 days to complete all 28 solo tiers. The key is balancing your submissions between the solo and team tracks rather than maximizing one at the expense of the other.

How to Maximize Candy Packaging Rewards?

For the most efficient Candy Packaging progression, focus your garden on Easter plants with the Blossoming mutation, which increases candy yield by 15-20%. Plant Waddling Willow and Bunny Berry in alternating patterns to maximize space efficiency, as these two plants offer the best candy-to-point conversion ratio. Submit your highest-point Easter plants first during team-focused hours (when your teammates are active) to maximize team contribution, then submit lower-value candy during solo farming periods.

Timing your submissions around the Egg War schedule is also crucial. Since Egg War occurs hourly and distracts players from Candy Packaging, submit your highest-value plants immediately after an Egg War concludes when competition for Wally Wrapper is minimal. This strategy helped me maintain a steady progression rhythm without burning through my Easter plant reserves too quickly.

For team players, coordinate submission schedules using Discord or in-game chat. Stagger your submissions so that at least one team member is always progressing the team bar, rather than everyone submitting simultaneously and wasting potential overflow points. The most efficient teams I’ve seen assign specific submission windows to each member based on their play schedule, ensuring 24/7 team progression.

Egg War Event: Mechanics and Strategies

Egg War is a new hourly competitive event where 10 eggs spawn across the game map, and players must race to collect and carry them back to their garden for rewards. Unlike traditional egg collecting, Egg War introduces PvP mechanics where other players can steal eggs you’re carrying, creating tension between grabbing eggs quickly and moving strategically to avoid interception. The eggs come in four rarity tiers—Divine, Mythical, Legendary, and Rare—with higher rarity eggs offering better rewards but slowing your movement speed while carrying them.

The event triggers every hour at the top of the hour, lasting approximately 10 minutes or until all 10 eggs are collected. When you grab an egg, your movement speed decreases based on the egg’s rarity—Divine eggs slow you by 40%, Mythical by 30%, Legendary by 20%, and Rare by 10%. This movement penalty creates strategic decisions: do you grab the Divine egg immediately and risk being caught, or wait for a lower-value egg that lets you escape faster? The best players I’ve observed scout spawn patterns and pre-position themselves near high-value egg spawn locations.

Egg rewards include Golden Eggs (the premium currency), Springtide Eggs, Chocolate Coins, and exclusive Easter cosmetics. Divine eggs guarantee a Springtide Egg plus 50-100 Golden Eggs, while Mythical eggs offer a 50% chance at a Springtide Egg with 25-50 Golden Eggs. Legendary and Rare eggs provide Chocolate Coins and cosmetic items, with Rare eggs serving as quick grabs for players who can’t commit to the slower movement of higher-tier eggs.

The PvP element is where Egg War gets intense. If another player touches you while you’re carrying an egg, they steal it and must return it to their own garden to claim the rewards. This creates escort gameplay where teammates can protect egg carriers, or predatory gameplay where players camp garden entrances to intercept returning egg runners. I’ve found that carrying eggs during off-peak hours (early morning or late night) significantly reduces interception risk compared to prime-time hours when the map is crowded.

For non-mobile players, there’s a pro tip that PC players can use: reposition your camera to see approaching players from behind while carrying eggs. Mobile players have limited camera control, making them easier targets for interceptions. If you’re on mobile, consider sticking with Rare or Legendary eggs that allow faster escapes, or team up with PC players who can provide advance warning of incoming threats.

Egg War Strategy: Which Eggs to Target?

The most successful Egg War strategy depends on your playstyle and risk tolerance. Aggressive players should target Divine and Mythical eggs immediately upon spawn, accepting the high interception risk for the premium rewards. Use speed boosts if available, and take indirect routes back to your garden to avoid predictable paths that interceptors camp. Team-based players can assign escorts to egg carriers, creating a formation where one player grabs the egg while teammates shield the return path.

Cautious players or those playing during peak hours should focus on Legendary and Rare eggs. The faster movement speed (only 10-20% reduction) lets you escape most interception attempts, and while the individual rewards are lower, you can collect multiple eggs per event session. I’ve averaged 3-4 Rare eggs per Egg War using this strategy, which accumulates Chocolate Coins consistently without the frustration of losing high-value eggs to interceptors.

Timing is everything in Egg War. Learn the spawn locations—they’re consistent across events—and position yourself near high-value spawn points 30 seconds before the hour. The first 60 seconds after spawn are chaotic with everyone rushing for eggs, so waiting 90 seconds to enter the fray often means less competition and more eggs available for strategic grabs rather than desperate scrambles.

New Plants in Easter Part 3

Easter Part 3 introduces five new plants that serve dual purposes: they’re valuable submissions for Candy Packaging and profitable additions to your garden’s economy. Here’s what each plant offers and how to maximize its value during the event:

Waddling Willow: This tree produces candy drops every 60 seconds and grants 15 Candy Packaging points per submission. It grows from Easter Seed Packs with a 20% drop rate and reaches full maturity in 4 hours. Waddling Willow is the most efficient plant for sustained candy farming, making it ideal for players who can check their garden every few hours. I’ve planted 15 Waddling Willows in a dedicated section of my garden, creating a candy engine that feeds both my Candy Packaging submissions and ongoing Chocolate Coin accumulation.

Marshmallow Root: A ground plant that produces candy every 45 seconds and awards 12 Candy Packaging points. It has a 25% drop rate from Easter Seed Packs and matures in 2 hours. Marshmallow Root excels for quick turnover farming—if you can check your garden every 2-3 hours, this plant generates candy faster than Waddling Willow with slightly lower submission value. I recommend Marshmallow Root for active players who want rapid progression through Candy Packaging tiers.

Bonnet Bloom: A flower that produces candy every 90 seconds and grants 18 Candy Packaging points per submission—the highest point value of all Easter plants. It has a 15% drop rate (making it the rarest) and matures in 6 hours. Bonnet Bloom is the strategic choice for players who plan ahead and can wait longer between harvests. The high submission value makes it perfect for final push efforts to complete Candy Packaging tiers in the days before April 26.

Egg Shroom: A mushroom that produces candy every 30 seconds and awards 8 Candy Packaging points. It has a 30% drop rate (the most common) and matures in 1 hour. Egg Shroom is the workhorse plant for rapid farming sessions—plant a full garden of Egg Shrooms and harvest every hour for maximum candy volume. While the individual submission value is low, the frequency makes it excellent for racking up Chocolate Coins through volume.

Bunny Berry: A bush that produces candy every 75 seconds and grants 14 Candy Packaging points. It has a 20% drop rate and matures in 3 hours. Bunny Berry strikes a balance between speed and value, making it a versatile choice for most playstyles. I’ve found it particularly effective when combined with Waddling Willow—Bunnies provide steady mid-tier submissions while Willows offer high-value periodic submissions.

Best Plant Strategies for Candy Packaging

For maximum Candy Packaging efficiency, I recommend a mixed garden approach: plant 40% Waddling Willows for sustained high-value submissions, 30% Bunny Berries for consistent mid-tier progress, and 30% Egg Shrooms for rapid candy generation when you’re actively farming. This combination ensures you always have optimal submissions available regardless of your play schedule.

Apply the Blossoming mutation to all Easter plants for a 15-20% candy yield increase. This mutation is essential for competitive Candy Packaging progression and significantly accelerates both solo and team reward tracks. If you’re limited on mutation applications, prioritize Waddling Willow and Bonnet Bloom since their higher submission values benefit most from the increased yield.

Time your harvests around Egg War schedules for maximum efficiency. Harvest your Easter plants immediately after an Egg War concludes, then submit them during the quieter period between events when fewer players are competing for Wally Wrapper’s attention. This rhythm lets you maintain steady Candy Packaging progress without missing Egg War opportunities.

New Pets: Springtide Egg and Rewards

The Springtide Egg is the premier reward of Easter Part 3, containing four new pets with varying drop rates and abilities. The egg is available through Candy Packaging reward tiers (tiers 10, 20, and 28 of the solo track) and as a rare drop from Divine and Mythical eggs in Egg War. Each pet has unique characteristics that affect its value for different playstyles:

Peryton (Divine rarity, 5% drop rate): A flying deer creature with a 25% bonus to candy production from all plants. Peryton is the most coveted Springtide pet due to its universal candy boost, making it valuable for any garden configuration. Players who earn a Peryton report seeing noticeable increases in Chocolate Coin accumulation within days. If you’re lucky enough to hatch one, Peryton should be your active pet for all farming activities.

Spring Bee (Mythical rarity, 15% drop rate): A bee that accelerates plant growth by 20%, reducing maturity times for all plants in your garden. Spring Bee is particularly valuable for Easter plants with long maturity times (Bonnet Bloom and Waddling Willow), effectively increasing your candy output per hour. Active players who harvest frequently will benefit most from Spring Bee’s growth acceleration.

Jerboa (Legendary rarity, 30% drop rate): A small mammal that provides a 10% bonus to candy value when sold or submitted to Candy Packaging. While less flashy than Peryton or Spring Bee, Jerboa’s bonus applies directly to Candy Packaging submissions, making it strategically valuable for pushing through reward tiers in the final days before April 26.

Nyala (Rare rarity, 50% drop rate): An antelope that increases Chocolate Coin drops from all activities by 15%. Nyala is the most common Springtide pet but still valuable for players focused on accumulating Chocolate Coins for event shop purchases. I’ve been using Nyala since day 2 of the event, and the accumulated Coins have made a significant difference in my ability to purchase Easter Seed Packs.

Beyond the standard Springtide pets, there are also Gilded Chocolate variants—extremely rare versions with enhanced abilities (Peryton GC with 35% candy bonus, Spring Bee GC with 30% growth acceleration). These variants have less than 1% drop rates and are primarily status symbols, though dedicated collectors are actively trading for them on community Discord servers.

Active Codes for Easter Part 3

While no Easter Part 3-specific codes have been released yet, several active codes from previous events still work and can provide valuable resources for your Easter event progression. Here are the currently active codes as of April 2026:

SPRING2026: Redeem for 5 Easter Seed Packs and 500 Chocolate Coins. This code is essential for jumpstarting your Easter plant collection and should be redeemed immediately.

CANDYBONUS: Redeem for 10 free candy submissions to Wally Wrapper (worth approximately 150 Candy Packaging points). Use this strategically during team-focused hours to maximize team contribution.

GOLDENEGG25: Redeem for 25 Golden Eggs, the premium currency used to purchase Springtide Eggs and exclusive items. Save these for the final days of the event when you know exactly what you still need.

EGGHUNT: Redeem for one random Easter Egg (guaranteed Rare or higher). This is a low-risk way to potentially get a Springtide Egg without spending Chocolate Coins.

BLOSSOMBOOST: Redeem for one free Blossoming mutation application. Use this on your Waddling Willow or Bonnet Bloom for maximum Candy Packaging efficiency.

How to Redeem Codes in Grow a Garden

To redeem these codes, follow these steps: First, open Grow a Garden in Roblox and wait for your garden to fully load. Second, click the Codes button on the left side of your screen (it looks like a gift icon). Third, type or paste the code exactly as shown above (codes are case-sensitive and must be entered without extra spaces). Fourth, click Submit and wait for the confirmation message. Finally, check your inventory for the rewards—codes like SPRING2026 will add items directly, while currency codes like GOLDENEGG25 will update your balance immediately.

I recommend redeeming all active codes as soon as possible, especially SPRING2026 for the Easter Seed Packs which take time to grow and mature. The Candy Packaging event ends April 26, 2026, so any delay in redeeming codes reduces your available farming time. If a code doesn’t work, it may have expired or been entered incorrectly—double-check the spelling and try again, as codes are time-limited and removed without notice when they expire.

Strategic Tips for Maximizing Easter Part 3 Rewards

With the event ending April 26, 2026, time management is critical for maximizing your Easter Part 3 rewards. Based on my experience grinding both Candy Packaging and Egg War for the past week, here are the strategies that separate efficient players from those struggling to complete reward tracks:

Team Coordination is Essential: Join an active team through Discord, Reddit, or in-game chat rather than trying to complete the team track solo or with inactive teammates. The most efficient teams have 5+ active members who coordinate submission schedules across different time zones, ensuring 24/7 progression. I joined a team through r/growagarden and we completed the 12 team tiers in just 48 hours through coordinated staggered submissions. When recruiting, look for players who are active during your play hours and commit to specific submission windows.

Balanced Submission Strategy: Don’t burn through all your Easter plants in the first few days. The most successful players I’ve seen maintain a reserve of high-value plants (Bonnet Bloom and Waddling Willow) for final push efforts in the last 48 hours before the event ends. Submit lower-value plants (Egg Shroom and Marshmallow Root) during the first half of the event, then deploy your high-value reserves when competition intensifies as players rush to complete reward tiers.

Egg War Timing: Participate in Egg War during off-peak hours (early morning 2-5 AM or late night 11 PM-1 AM server time) when fewer players are competing. I’ve collected 3-4 eggs per off-peak Egg War compared to 1-2 during prime time. If you must play during peak hours, focus on Legendary and Rare eggs with faster movement speeds rather than risking Divine eggs that make you easy targets for interceptors.

Mutation Optimization: Apply the Blossoming mutation to Easter plants before any others—the 15-20% candy yield increase significantly accelerates Candy Packaging progression. If you have limited mutation applications, prioritize Waddling Willow and Bonnet Bloom since their high submission values benefit most from increased yield. Avoid mutating Egg Shroom unless you have excess mutations, as the low submission value doesn’t justify the mutation cost.

Candy Blossom Integration: If you have access to Candy Blossom from previous event progression, use it strategically during Easter Part 3. Our Candy Blossom profit comparison shows that it outperforms Bone for event-focused farming. Activate Candy Blossom during active farming sessions (when you’re harvesting and submitting every 30-60 minutes) rather than passive periods, to maximize the bonus candy generation.

Event Preparation Checklist: With only days remaining before April 26, create a priority list of remaining rewards and calculate exactly what you need. If you’re close to a Springtide Egg tier, focus all submissions on that track. If team rewards are nearly complete, coordinate with your team for a final push. Don’t spread yourself thin across multiple incomplete tracks—pick one or two priorities and concentrate your resources there.
