In Grow a Garden, players can buy plant seeds from the shop, plant them, and harvest the crops to sell for money.
You can also upgrade your garden by using your earnings to buy better seeds, tools, and expand your land.
The game includes fun features like multi-harvest crops, rare seeds, mutations, offline growth, and daily quests. You can even buy special gear to help you grow and harvest fruits more efficiently.
In this article, we’ve explained how to get and use your Night Staff in Grow a Garden with a simple step-by-step guide.
How To Get & Use the Night Staff In Grow A Garden
The Night Staff is a special gear item added during the Lunar Glow Update. When used during the Night event, it gives the Moonlit Mutation to six random crops in your garden. These crops turn into Moonlit Fruits, which are more valuable.
Step To Get the Night Staff In Grow A Garden
Step 1: Join the Lunar Event
- This event runs for 2–4 weeks in May 2025.
- It’s part of the Lunar Glow Update.
- Your goal is to collect Lunar Points by trading Moonlit Fruits.
Step 2: Find the Wise Owl
- The Wise Owl NPC appears in the middle of the map.
- It replaces the Venus Flytrap during the event.
- This is where you’ll trade Moonlit Fruits.
Step 3: Get Moonlit Fruits
- Wait for the Night event (every few minutes).
- During this event, the sky turns dark, and a soft hum plays.
- Some crops will randomly become Moonlit (they glow).
- Harvest them by clicking or turning off auto-sell.
Step 4: Boost Your Moonlit Crop Chances
- Plant up to 800 crops to raise the chance of mutations.
- Use fast-growing crops like Tomatoes, Strawberries, or Blueberries.
- For better value, plant rare ones like:
- Moon Blossom (2.5% chance from Night Packs)
- Glowshroom (30% chance)
- These sell for high prices (up to 70K Sheckles).
Step 5: Trade Moonlit Fruits
- Go back to the Wise Owl.
- Select “Take this plant” to trade one fruit at a time.
- Each gives you 1 or more Lunar Points, depending on the crop.
- Rare fruits = more points.
Step 6: Track Your Lunar Points
- Check the Reward Track by talking to the smaller owl next to the Wise Owl.
- Your goal: Get 40 Lunar Points to unlock the Night Staff.
Step 7: Claim the Night Staff
- Once you hit 40 points, go to the Reward Track.
- Claim your Night Staff — it gets added to your Backpack.
