How to Participate in the Safari Harvest Event?
Participating in the Safari Harvest Event is straightforward once you know the steps. The event center is located in the middle of the lobby where you’ll see massive shipping containers stacked high with fruits. Safari Joyce, the NPC with blonde hair, waits there to receive your plant contributions.
To start contributing, follow these simple steps:
- Check what plants Safari Joyce wants – The NPC requests specific plant types that change periodically
- Harvest the requested plants from your garden – Make sure you have a variety ready
- Approach Safari Joyce and press ‘E’ – This opens the interaction menu
- Click “Submit All” – This gives her all the required plant types at once
The Safari Harvest Event works similarly to previous events like Summer Harvest, Beanstalk, and Fall Event, but with its own unique rewards and mechanics. Unlike some events that have refresh timers, this event runs continuously for two full weeks, giving you plenty of time to contribute and earn rewards.
What Plant Types Should You Grow for Maximum Points?
Your success in the Safari Harvest Event depends heavily on growing the right plants with the highest rarity. Each plant rarity level gives you different point values when submitted to Safari Joyce. Here’s the complete point system:
| Plant Rarity | Points Per Plant |
| Common | 1 Point |
| Uncommon | 2 Points |
| Rare | 3 Points |
| Legendary | 4 Points |
| Mythical | 5 Points |
| Divine | 6 Points |
| Prismatic | 7 Points |
| Transcendent | 8 Points |
For maximum contribution efficiency, focus on growing these seven essential plant types that Safari Joyce typically requests:
- Berry Plants – Strawberries, blueberries, and other berry varieties
- Fruit Plants – Apples, bananas, and tropical fruits
- Flower Plants – Roses, sunflowers, and decorative blooms
- Tropical Plants – Exotic fruits and plants from warm climates
- Vegetable Plants – Carrots, tomatoes, and garden vegetables
- Prickly Plants – Cacti and other spiky varieties
- Woody Plants – Trees and hard-stemmed plants
Pro Tip: Invest time in growing higher rarity plants before the event starts. While Common plants only give 1 point each, Transcendent plants give 8 points, making them eight times more valuable for your contributions!
How Do Global Points and Community Rewards Work?
The Safari Harvest Event features a global point system where every player’s contributions add to a worldwide total. You can see the current global points displayed above the shipping containers in the event area. These global points unlock incredible rewards for everyone in the Grow a Garden community.
As players worldwide contribute plants, the global point total increases and unlocks milestone rewards. Here’s the complete list of community rewards and their requirements:
| Global Points | Reward |
| 250k Points | Orange Delight Seed |
| 2M Points | Explorer’s Compass |
| 20M Points | Safari Crate (in Safari Shop) |

What Individual Rewards Can You Earn?
While community rewards are great, the individual rewards are where you can get some of the most valuable items in the game. Every 500 points you contribute earns you a reward chest with a chance to contain rare and exclusive items.
Unlike some events with refresh timers, the Safari Harvest Event gives you rewards continuously at every 500-point milestone (500, 1000, 1500, 2000, and so on). Here’s the complete list of possible individual rewards and their drop rates:
| Reward | Drop Rate |
| 10x Watering Can | 12.70% |
| 5x Event Lantern | 11.01% |
| Common Summer Egg | 10.16% |
| Silver Fertilizer | 10.16% |
| 5x Harvest Tool | 9.31% |
| Reclaimer | 7.62% |
| Safari Animal Statue | 5.93% |
| Rare Summer Egg | 5.50% |

The Safari Egg is one of the most sought-after rewards, containing exclusive pets that you can’t get anywhere else. Even though it has only a 4.23% drop rate, contributing consistently throughout the event gives you multiple chances to obtain it.
What Are the Best Strategies for Safari Harvest Success?
To maximize your success in the Safari Harvest Event, you need more than just basic knowledge. Here are some pro strategies that top players use to dominate the event:
Focus on High-Rarity Plants The most effective strategy is to grow and submit the highest rarity plants possible. A single Transcendent plant gives you as many points as eight Common plants, making it much more efficient to focus on quality over quantity.
Diversify Your Garden Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Grow all seven plant types that Safari Joyce might request so you’re always prepared, no matter what she asks for. This means maintaining Berry, Fruit, Flower, Tropical, Vegetable, Prickly, and Woody plants in your garden.
Time Your Submissions Pay attention to when Safari Joyce changes her requested plant types. Sometimes she’ll ask for plants that you have in abundance, giving you the perfect opportunity to submit large quantities and earn massive points quickly.
Team Up with Friends While you can participate alone, teaming up with friends can make the event more fun and efficient. Coordinate who grows which plant types to ensure everyone has what they need when Safari Joyce makes her requests.
Save Your Best Plants Don’t submit your highest rarity plants right away. Sometimes it’s better to wait until Safari Joyce specifically requests the plant type where you have the most high-rarity specimens. This maximizes your point efficiency.
Common Mistake to Avoid: Many players submit everything they have immediately, only to realize later that Safari Joyce is now asking for the exact plants they just got rid of. Always keep some reserves of each plant type!
Frequently Asked Questions
How often do individual rewards refresh in the Safari Harvest Event?
Individual rewards in the Safari Harvest Event don’t refresh on a timer like some other events. Instead, you receive a reward every time you reach another 500-point milestone in your personal contribution. This means you get rewards at 500 points, 1000 points, 1500 points, 2000 points, and so on, continuously throughout the event. There’s no waiting period or reset, so you can earn rewards as quickly as you can contribute points.
What’s the fastest way to earn points in the Safari Harvest Event?
The fastest way to earn points is by submitting high-rarity plants. Transcendent plants give 8 points each, while Common plants only give 1 point. Focus on growing and evolving your plants to the highest possible rarity before submitting them. Additionally, growing all seven plant types (Berry, Fruit, Flower, Tropical, Vegetable, Prickly, and Woody) ensures you’re always prepared when Safari Joyce requests a specific type, allowing you to submit immediately without waiting to grow new plants.
Can you participate in the Safari Harvest Event alone?
Yes, you can absolutely participate in the Safari Harvest Event alone! While teaming up with friends can make it more fun and potentially more efficient, the event is designed for solo players as well. You can grow all the necessary plant types yourself, submit them to Safari Joyce, and earn both individual and community rewards without needing to coordinate with others. The global points system means your contributions count toward community goals regardless of whether you’re playing solo or in a group.
How do you get the Safari Egg in the Safari Harvest Event?
The Safari Egg is available through two different methods in the Safari Harvest Event. First, you can get it as an individual reward with a 4.23% drop rate every 500 points you contribute. Second, once the global community reaches 125 million points, the Safari Egg becomes available for purchase in the Safari Shop. The egg takes 4 hours and 10 minutes to hatch and contains exclusive safari-themed pets that you can’t obtain anywhere else in the game.
What happens when the Safari Harvest Event ends?
When the Safari Harvest Event ends after its two-week run, several things happen. The Safari Joyce NPC and shipping containers will disappear from the lobby, and you’ll no longer be able to submit plants for event points. However, any rewards you’ve already earned (including Safari Eggs, items, and unlocked weather events) are yours to keep permanently. The Safari Shop will remain accessible with any items you’ve unlocked, but new purchases may be limited. It’s important to contribute as much as possible before the event ends to maximize your rewards.
Are the rewards worth the effort in the Safari Harvest Event?
Yes, the rewards in the Safari Harvest Event are definitely worth the effort for most players. The event offers some of the most valuable items in the game, including the Safari Egg with exclusive pets, limited-time seeds like Orange Delight and Protea, and unique weather events that can help you in future gameplay. The individual rewards also include useful items like sprinklers, fertilizers, and tools that can significantly improve your garden’s productivity. For players looking to build rare pet collections or improve their garden efficiency, this event provides exceptional value.
How do weather events affect the Safari Harvest Event?
Weather events unlocked through the Safari Harvest Event’s global milestones can significantly impact your gameplay. Events like Safari Rain, Safari Night, Safari Drought, Safari Oasis, and Safari Stampede can cause special mutations in your plants, potentially increasing their value and rarity. Higher rarity plants mean more points when submitted to Safari Joyce, creating a beneficial cycle where unlocked weather events help you contribute even more effectively to the event. These weather events are permanent additions to the game once unlocked, providing long-term benefits beyond just the Safari Harvest Event.
