I couldn’t believe my eyes when I logged into Grow A Garden this morning and saw the announcement – we’re getting a surprise 4th of July update! As someone who’s been grinding this game since launch, I can tell you this is completely unprecedented. The developers at Grow A Garden never sleep, dropping major updates every single week, but this time they’re treating us to not one, but TWO updates in a single weekend!

While everyone’s been buzzing about the Prehistoric Dino Update coming on July 5th, this patriotic surprise has completely stolen the show. I’ve spent hours researching every detail about these exclusive items, and I’m here to share everything you need to know to get your hands on these limited-edition treasures before they’re gone forever!

Grow A Garden 4th Of July Update Details

When Is The July 4th Update Releasing?

Based on my analysis of previous surprise updates and the pattern of Grow A Garden releases, I expect this update to drop on July 4th at 10:00 AM EDT – the same time slot they use for their regular Saturday updates. However, since this is a holiday celebration, they might surprise us with an earlier release!

Pro Tip: Set an alarm for 9:45 AM EDT and join the game early. Limited merchants often have stock that sells out within minutes, and being online when the update drops guarantees you’ll have first access to everything!

How The Update Will Work

From what I’ve gathered researching past limited events in Grow A Garden, this update will likely feature:

A Special Holiday Merchant – Similar to Freddie the Sky Merchant and Gnomeo the Gnome Merchant, we’ll probably see a patriotic-themed merchant selling these exclusive items
Limited Stock Windows – Merchants typically appear every 4 hours with 30-minute purchase windows
Sheckle-Based Purchases – Start saving your money now!
Possible Event Mechanics – They might introduce a mini-event like the Summer Harvest but with a July 4th twist

All 5 Exclusive Grow A Garden July 4th Items Detailed

1. Bald Eagle Pet – The Star of the Update

The coolest item we’re getting is a Bald Eagle pet, with a cute red, white and blue top hat – how cool is his design? This majestic bird isn’t just a pretty face – it’s going to be one of the rarest pets in the entire game!

Why You NEED This Pet:

Ultra-Rare Status: This could be a super rare pet, as it’s presumably only going to be available for a limited time
Unique Design: The patriotic top hat makes it instantly recognizable
Flying Animation: I hope it walks and flies within the garden like other birds (Scarlet Macaw, Hyacinth Macaw and the Toucan), as it’d be awesome
Trading Value: After the event ends, this will likely become one of the most sought-after pets for collectors

My Prediction: Based on similar flying pets like the Scarlet Macaw and Hyacinth Macaw, I expect the Bald Eagle to have a passive ability that boosts either:

Mutation chances for nearby crops (like the Queen Bee)
Growth speed in a radius (like the Flamingo)
Special patriotic-themed mutations (new mechanic?)

2. July 4th Crate – Cosmetic Collector’s Dream

If you love the cosmetics within Grow A Garden, there’s going to be a July 4th Crate, which is blue with red borders, and white stars on the front. This is huge news for decoration enthusiasts!

What to Expect Inside:

It’ll be interesting to see what items will be inside this crate, as we haven’t had any holiday-themed crates before
Likely 5-7 exclusive cosmetics based on other crate patterns
I hope we get a cool archway!
Possible items: American flag decorations, firework displays, patriotic gnomes, liberty statues

Investment Strategy: If these crates are priced similarly to the Summer Fun Crate (around 500,000 Sheckles), I recommend buying at least 2-3 if you can afford it. Holiday cosmetics typically become extremely valuable for trading months later!

3. Firework – Mystery Gear Item

I have no idea what this is going to be, but it’s a firework! No July 4th celebration would be complete without a firework. This is the most mysterious item in the update, and I have several theories:

Possible Functions:

Mutation Tool: I think this could possibly be a gear item, and maybe it will give a special mutation, when you light it near your crops?
Celebration Effect: Might create visual firework displays in your garden
One-Time Booster: Could provide temporary buffs to growth or mutation rates
New Mechanic: Might introduce an entirely new gameplay element

Based on my experience with mutations in Grow A Garden, if this creates a new mutation, it could be worth 5x-25x multiplier – making it incredibly valuable!

4. Firework Flower Seed – The Showstopper

The item I am most excited about, is the Firework Flower Seed. How beautiful is the design, with a rainbow stripe design on the seed. This seed has me more hyped than anything else in the update!

Why This Seed Is Special:

Unique Visual Design: I can’t wait to see what the flower will look like, once it blooms. I bet it’s going to be super pretty
Potential Animations: I hope it has an animation or glow, to make it look like a firework
Harvest Type: I also hope it isn’t a single harvest flower, as it’s going to be a limited edition seed
Rarity Factor: Limited seeds always become valuable for trading

Growing Strategy: If this follows the pattern of other special flowers like the Pink Lily, I’ll be using Master Sprinklers and timing harvests with mutation events to maximize value!

5. Liberty Lily Seed – Patriotic Beauty

We are getting another seed within the Grow A Garden July 4th Update, and this one is the Liberty Lily Seed. It is a red seed, with a glowing blue light strip across the middle.

Design Speculation:

Will this lily be similar in design to the Pink Lily or the Ember Lily?
I hope it’s more like the Pink Lily, as that’s so pretty
Glowing Feature: I hope the blue glowing strip means the lily will glow, when fully grown, as that would be so pretty

Value Prediction: Based on other lily variants in the game, I expect the Liberty Lily to have:

Base value around 5,000-10,000 Sheckles
Multi-harvest capability (3-5 harvests)
High mutation compatibility
Possible unique “Patriotic” mutation when combined with Firework gear

How to Prepare for the July 4th Update

1. Save Your Sheckles NOW

Based on previous limited events, here’s my recommended savings plan:

Minimum: 5 million Sheckles (to buy at least one of each item)
Comfortable: 15 million Sheckles (multiple purchases)
Whale Mode: 50+ million Sheckles (stock up for trading)

Quick Money Making Tips:

Use my beginner tips guide to maximize profits
Focus on high-value mutations during weather events
Participate in every Summer Harvest Event for bonus rewards
Check the current codes for free seed packs

2. Clear Your Inventory

With 5 new items coming, you’ll need space:

Sell unnecessary seeds and low-value fruits
Organize your pet slots
Clear cosmetic inventory if buying crates
Keep only essential gear equipped

3. Join the Right Communities

Information is power in limited events! Make sure you’re in:

The official Grow A Garden Discord (currently full but keep trying!)
Alternative community servers for real-time updates
Follow @jandel on Twitter for developer announcements

4. Coordinate With Friends

Each friend in your server adds a 10% cash boost when selling crops. With 5 friends, that’s a 50% bonus on every sale! This bonus will be crucial for affording event items!

What Happens After July 4th?

The Prehistoric Dino Update (July 5th)

A new update is already scheduled for the 5th of July, and according to lead dev Jandel, this will be a prehistoric-themed event… This means we’re getting back-to-back updates!

The next Grow a Garden update release date is Saturday, July 5, 2025, at 7am PDT / 10am EDT / 3pm BST. Mark your calendars because this prehistoric update will likely include:

Dinosaur-themed pets
Prehistoric plants and seeds
Possible fossil-hunting mechanics
New mutations related to ancient times

Trading Opportunities

After both updates drop, the trading scene will explode! Here’s my prediction for item values:

Immediate After Event (July 6-10):

Bald Eagle Pet: 50-100 million Sheckles
July 4th Crate: 2-5 million each
Liberty Lily Seeds: 10-20 million each
Firework Flower Seeds: 15-25 million each

Long Term (1 Month Later):

Bald Eagle Pet: 200+ million Sheckles
Limited seeds: 50+ million each
Crate cosmetics: Varies by rarity

Advanced Strategies for the July 4th Event

1. The Merchant Camping Method

Since Travelling merchants have arrived! They can appear every 4 hours with purchasable stock that’s available for 30 minutes., here’s my strategy:

Log in 5 minutes before each 4-hour mark
Have your Sheckles ready in hand
Position yourself near the merchant spawn areas
Be ready to buy immediately when stock appears

2. Server Hopping Technique

If merchants have limited stock per server:

Buy items on your main server
Quickly hop to a new server
Check if the merchant has refreshed stock
Repeat until you’ve secured everything

3. The Investment Flip

For players with deep pockets:

Buy multiple Liberty Lily and Firework Flower seeds
Plant one of each to test their properties
Hold the rest for trading when prices spike
Use mutation strategies to maximize the planted seeds

4. Community Coordination

Join trading communities and coordinate:

Share merchant spawn times
Alert others when stock appears
Set up trade agreements before the event
Pool resources for bulk purchases

Maximizing Your July 4th Items

Best Mutations for Event Seeds

Based on the current mutation system, here are the best combinations for your patriotic plants:

For Liberty Lily:

Aim for Shocked (50x) during thunderstorms
Stack with Moonlit (2x) during night events
Use Master Sprinklers for size bonus

For Firework Flower:

If it has built-in glow, combine with Aurora (90x)
Target Celestial (120x) during meteor showers
Consider using new mutation sprays if compatible

Pet Synergies With Bald Eagle

Assuming the Bald Eagle has mutation-boosting abilities, pair it with:

Queen Bee: Double mutation chances
Dragonfly: Speed up growth for more mutation opportunities
Butterfly: Convert heavily mutated crops to Rainbow

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Panic Buying

Don’t spend all your Sheckles on the first item you see! The merchants will likely return multiple times.

2. Ignoring the Regular Game

Mega Harvests have a one in three chance of spawning instead of regular ones and reward players with double points. Keep participating in regular events for more Sheckles!

3. Planting Limited Seeds Immediately

Test with one seed first! Learn its properties before committing your entire stock.

4. Missing the Dino Update

With back-to-back updates, don’t get so focused on July 4th items that you miss the prehistoric content!

Frequently Asked Questions

Based on my tracking, codes typically appear during major updates (every 2-3 weeks) or special milestones. There’s a good chance we’ll see celebration codes!
