Just when players thought the Halloween festivities were over, Grow a Garden dropped a surprise update that has the entire community talking. A new secret Halloween merchant has appeared in the seed shop, bringing limited-time items, mysterious pets, and powerful consumables. For dedicated players, this unexpected drop is a golden opportunity to stock up before everything disappears for good.

The Secret Halloween Merchant

The new merchant offers an assortment of Halloween-themed content, including decorative fences, eerie statues, fireworks, and two unique seeds: the Spider Vine and the Monster Flower. Prices are surprisingly fair, especially for those familiar with past seasonal events like the Fourth of July update. Players can buy everything directly from the merchant, but there’s one catch—this shop only lasts for 24 hours before it vanishes permanently.

The Spectre Pet and Its Haunting Power

Among the standout additions is the Spectre pet, a ghostly companion that occasionally haunts fruit and applies rare mutations. It can trigger three different effects—Vamp, Spooky, and Ghostly—each with its own rarity. While the pet’s stats may not be groundbreaking, it remains a strong collectible, especially given its limited-time availability.

Players can technically obtain multiple Spectres using alternate accounts and the gifting system. By setting up alts through Roblox Account Manager, you can buy out the merchant’s entire stock and send the extra pets to your main account. Since the Spectre is giftable, this is currently the most efficient way to expand your collection without overspending Robux.

The Vampire Fang and Other Event Items

Another highlight of the update is the Vampire Fang, a consumable item that temporarily transforms the player into a bat for 30 seconds. It comes with 50 uses and offers a fun, fast way to explore your garden from a new perspective. While largely cosmetic, it’s one of the most entertaining seasonal items we’ve seen in Grow a Garden so far.

Fireworks also make a return in the form of “Fright Works,” though these are purely visual and not as impressive as the July 4th versions. Still, they add a nice finishing touch to the spooky atmosphere.

Growing the New Halloween Seeds

The new Spider Vine and Monster Flower are more than just seasonal décor—they’re among the most lucrative plants currently in the game. The Spider Vine, in particular, grows rapidly and expands across your entire garden with sprawling branches. Fully grown, it can yield up to 2 million shekels, and mutated versions can exceed 65 million or even 2 billion shekels when enhanced with sprays like Glimmering or Honey Glazed.

Meanwhile, the Monster Flower offers slightly higher base value (around 60,000 to 2 million shekels depending on size and rarity) and produces a dramatic, oversized bloom that makes it one of the most visually striking additions to the game.

For best results, make sure to plant these seeds with all available sprinklers active—basic, advanced, master, grandmaster, and godly. This not only accelerates growth but also increases mutation potential.

Preparing for the Next Update

The video also hinted at the upcoming Safari Harvest update, which is expected to bring a new season pass, pets, seeds, and weather effects. From what’s been leaked so far, it looks like a thematic continuation of the summer harvest event, but with a wilder, exploration-focused twist.

If you’re looking to buy grow a garden pets or invest in grow a garden cheap pets and items, this Halloween event is a must-play window. Even if you missed the merchant, the limited-edition pets like the Spectre could see major trade value later on—especially on third-party player markets such as U4GM, where collectors often seek out rare or time-limited content.

Final Thoughts

This last-minute Halloween update might not be the largest, but it’s one of the most rewarding mini-events Grow a Garden has seen in months. Between the profitable new plants, collectible pets, and creative consumables, it delivers both gameplay value and community excitement.
