You get Summer Coins in Grow a Garden by taking part in the Summer Harvest and Mega Summer Harvest events, then turning in as many summer fruit as possible to earn Harvest Points, which convert into Summer Coins at the end of the event.

How to Get Summer Coins in Grow a Garden

Quick Scoop

  • Join the Summer Harvest or Mega Summer Harvest events that pop up roughly every hour.
  • Grow and submit summer fruits during the 10‑minute event window to earn Harvest Points.
  • At the end of the event, your reward tier / total points are converted into Summer Coins (roughly 1 coin per 1000 points, with tiers giving 0–6 coins).
  • Spend Summer Coins in the Summer Shop / Harvest Shop on limited‑time seeds, pets, cosmetics, and items like the Oasis Egg and new summer seeds.

Step‑by‑Step: Basic Method

  1. Wait for the Summer Harvest alert
    • Events rotate on a timer and last about 10 minutes.
 * Make sure you’re in‑game and near the **wagon/cart in the middle of the play area** , since that’s where you submit crops.
  1. Plant and prep summer fruits before the event
    • Focus your garden on summer‑type fruits so they’re ready to harvest right before the event starts.
 * Keep plots full so you can rapid‑harvest when the countdown begins.
  1. During the event, harvest and submit nonstop
    • Collect every summer plant from your garden and run it to the wagon.
 * Use the **“submit all” button** (added in a later update) to turn in everything at once instead of one‑by‑one.
  1. Let the event end, then collect your Summer Coins
    • Coins are awarded when the event ends , not as you submit.
 * Your **points → tier → Summer Coins** :
   * Common tier: 0 coins
   * Uncommon: 1 coin
   * Rare: 2 coins
   * Legendary: 3 coins
   * Mythical: 4 coins
   * Divine: 5 coins
   * Prismatic: 6 coins
  1. Repeat, especially for Mega Summer Harvest
    • Mega Summer Harvest works like the normal event, but pays double reward points , which effectively means more Summer Coins per run.

Best Fruits and Point Values

Fruits give different Harvest Point values, which affect how many Summer Coins you end up with.

  • Common (1 point): Carrot, Strawberry
  • Uncommon (2 points): Blueberry, Wild Carrot
  • Rare (3 points): Pear, Tomato, Cauliflower, Delphinium
  • Legendary (4 points): Cantaloupe, Watermelon, Green Apple, Avocado, Banana
  • Mythical (5 points): Pineapple, Kiwi, Bell Pepper, Prickly Pear, Parasol Flower, Lily of the Valley
  • Divine (6 points): Rosy Delight, Loquat, Feijoa, Pitcher Plant
  • Prismatic (7 points): Sugar Apple, Elephant Ears

Even though higher rarity fruits give more points, many players recommend stacking Tomatoes : they’re Rare (3 points) but grow very fast and are easy to farm, so in practice they can out‑pace slower high‑rarity crops.

Fast Farming Tips (Summer Coins Grind)

To farm Summer Coins quickly , players use a few meta strategies.

  • Tomato spam strategy
    • Fill most plots with Tomatoes : quick growth, steady 3‑point value, easy to mass‑produce.
  • Play on public servers
    • Being in a public server means more players submitting plants, which helps push the event and makes the overall harvest more efficient.
  • Chase Mega Harvest weather / events
    • Join servers where Mega Summer Harvest is active or about to start to benefit from double points.
  • Use Pack Bees and Axolotl pet
    • Pack Bees : expand your storage so you can hold more fruit before turning in.
* **Axolotl pet** : has a passive chance that a **summer fruit stays after you harvest it** , effectively giving you extra free crops over time.
  • Grab every summer plant
    • Collect literally every summer plant on your garden and submit when the event starts; don’t leave anything on the field.

What to Spend Summer Coins On

Summer Coins are a limited‑time currency tied to the summer update.

You can use them for:

  • Summer Shop / Harvest Shop purchases
    • New seeds, cosmetics, pets, and special items.
* Items include things like the **Oasis Egg** , Traveler’s Fruit seed, and other seasonal gear.
  • Crafting recipes
    • Certain new plants (like Aloevera, Peace Lily, Guanabana) require Summer Coins in their crafting recipes instead of regular money.
* The devs specifically push you to **grind Summer Coins instead of just spending stored Sheckles**.

Because this is a seasonal currency, it’s smart to stock up while the event is live and prioritize items that won’t return or are key to progression (like new seeds that unlock more farming power later).

Little Story‑Style Example

Imagine you log in right before the hourly Summer Harvest. You’ve packed your garden with Tomato seeds, Pack Bees are buzzing, and your Axolotl is lazily swimming nearby. As the event starts, you sprint around harvesting a wall of ripe tomatoes, hammer the “submit all” button at the wagon, and watch your points rocket up. The 10‑minute timer runs out, the event banner fades, and you see your tier jump high enough to hand you a chunk of Summer Coins—one step closer to that Oasis Egg or new summer seed you’ve been eyeing.

TL;DR: Play every Summer Harvest / Mega Summer Harvest , stack fast‑growing fruits like Tomatoes , use Pack Bees + Axolotl , and turn in everything at the wagon to convert your Harvest Points into Summer Coins, then spend them in the Summer Shop/Harvest Shop on limited summer rewards.
