The Cosmetic Update is officially live in Grow a Garden, and no, it’s not just about making your farm cute (though you absolutely can). This update brought a whole new dimension to the game, turning what used to be a chill farming sim into a full-blown base-building sandbox. I’ve been testing, tinkering, and honestly, obsessing over it, and now it’s time to break it all down for you. In this guide, I’ll walk you through every new feature, item, crate, and change that came with the Cosmetic Update. Whether you’re here to flex with a Red Tractor or just want to find the best items for your dream cabin, I got you.
Cosmetic Update Full Guide | How to Complete
At first glance, the Cosmetic update might seem like it’s all about looks. But trust me, it’s way deeper than that. Think of it as a stealth building update. You can now construct full homes, decorate down to the last crate, and even plan out entire layouts like you’re in The Sims.
The cosmetic system lets you place items on your farm, logs, signs, crates, wind chimes, even gnomes. It’s not just about decorating; it’s about customizing your garden into a personal space. And with new plot expansions, there’s finally enough room to go wild.
Cosmetics Shop Breakdown
The new Cosmetics Shop is run by Sam and opened on May 24. You’ll find it near the center of your plot, and it’s the key to unlocking all the decorative items in the game.
Each day, the shop rotates stock with a 24-hour timer (though during testing it was every 30 seconds, yeah, people were mad). Items range from small decorations to massive build pieces. You’ll find:
- Hay bales, tree stumps, log benches
- Large floor tiles and walkways
- Functional set pieces like wind chimes, wells, and fountains
- And, of course, endless gnome variations
Shop Structure:
- Bottom rows: Cheaper and smaller items
- Top rows: Rare or premium items, some Robux-locked

Crates Explained (Gnomes, Signs & More)
Crates are randomized loot boxes with themed items. Here are some of the highlights:
- Classic Gnome Crate: Literally just gnomes, blue gnome, green gnome, beta gnome. It’s giving collector addiction.
- Sign Crate: Packed with quirky signs like “Keep Out,” “Beware of Dog,” “Smile, You’re on Camera,” and “Mean Gardener.”
- Common/Fun/Farmer Crates: Mix of seasonal and humorous decorations.
- Bloodmoon Crate: Mythical-tier item, pure flex material.
Tip: If you’re collecting, start now. Some of these might go limited.
What to Buy First (If You’re Serious About Building)
Don’t waste your early currency on tiny items. Go straight for:
- Large Wood Flooring and Large Path Tiles for smooth layouts
- Logs, Pillars, and Arbours for walls and height
You have an inventory limit (more on that next), so spend smart and avoid cluttering with small stuff unless you’re decorating.
Inventory Limits (And Warnings)
Yep, there’s a cap. And it’s kinda tight.
- Total Inventory Items: ~250
- Placeable Items on Plot: ~60
Currently, you can’t delete items from your inventory unless an admin helps you out (shoutout Brighter). So make your purchases count.
Plot Expansion: Is It Worth It?
Short answer: yes. Long answer: very yes.
Here’s the breakdown:
- First expansion: 100 million (left/right)
- Back unlock: 24 hours or 200 Robux
- Final expansion: 500 million + 1 billion
With full expansion, your plot jumps from 4×4 to nearly 6×6. That’s a huge build space upgrade. Perfect for large builds, mazes, or full base layouts.
Tornado Weather + New Mutation
The update also brought a new weather event: Tornadoes! When this hits, keep an eye on your plants. There’s a brand new mutation called Twisted, and no, it’s not just for aesthetics. It’s a permanent addition, so get ready to experiment. While you’re here, feel free to check out my complete guide on how to unlock every single mutation in Grow a Garden, yep, even the new Twisted mutation. It’s all there, with tips, tricks, and more!
Why People Were Mad (and How Devs Fixed It)
When this update first dropped, the backlash was real. No new seeds, no event in the center area, and restock timers went from 30 seconds (test server) to 24 hours in live.
But here’s the glow-up:
- Twilight event added
- Two new seeds: Celesta Berry and Moon Mango
- Lunar Shop during nighttime events with exclusive items
Moon Mango was OP on release (200k value vs. Candy Blossom’s 100k), but it got nerfed hard to 22k. Devs quickly responded, and buffs are already on the way.
Wrap-Up
Now that the dust has settled (and the tornadoes have passed), the Cosmetic Update is actually one of the best updates we’ve had. Sure, it launched rocky, but the potential is massive. Building systems, expanded plots, randomized crates, and a responsive dev team? That’s a win in my book. And let’s be real: Grow a Garden isn’t just about grinding money or chasing events anymore, it’s about making a space that feels like yours. So start building. Show off your farm. And collect every weird little gnome you can find.
