In Grow a Garden, gears are powerful utility items that make farming, harvesting, and pet management far more efficient. Whether you’re trying to grow rare fruits faster or boost your pets’ experience, gears are the key to optimizing your progress. This guide breaks down every gear in the game, where to get them, and which ones are worth your investment for the best returns.
What Are Gears in Grow a Garden?
Gears are special tools used to improve your farming experience. They can:
- Speed up plant growth
- Increase fruit size
- Enhance mutation chances
- Help you manage crops or teleport quickly
- Boost pet experience and passive abilities
You can obtain gears from:
- The Gear Shop (permanent store)
- The Gear Crafting Station
- Travelling Merchants
- Limited-time Events
Gear Shop – Permanent Store
The Gear Shop is your main source for most gears. It’s run by Eloise, an NPC found opposite the Seed Shop. The stock here refreshes every five minutes, with new items appearing based on their rarity drop rates. Common items like the Watering Can are frequent, while high-tier gear such as the Grandmaster Sprinkler is rare.
