Timmy wants to wake his turtle up from its hibernation after that long, cold winter. Aid him in finding things to tempt it back to consciousness.

Help Farmer McDonald splice together some special Spring Seeds! For players level 400+, Farmer McDonald will reward you with Tier 2 Spring Fruit and Spring Vegetable seeds! These crops will yield energy and gold balanced for your higher level.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How can I find the seeds?
  Just keep whacking. The Holiday Item runes and pets will help attract them as well.


• How do I grow plants?
  There are the planters outside the garden to grow flowers in. If you click on them, you can see the plant store. Each plant has a different cost and grow time to get you your event progress points. You start with 4 free planters.


• Is it good to buy extra planters for growing the plants?
  If you have the seeds to spare and prefer to plant long-growing plants, then yes, it's worth it.


• How do I get the Decorator achievement?
  If you go into the gardening area, the store button ($) has a selection of garden decorating items, where you can find the planter styles and watering can. These items also cost seeds.


• What are the possible seed combinations for Farmer MacDonald's quest?
  You can choose seeds that grow either Energy or Gold, and then choose between 20, 15, 4, and 3 hours of growth time.


• Why do my custom seeds cost Gold to plant?
  You created the combination, which is unlocked until they expire. Just like normal plants, they cost Gold for planting. We don't award a flat number of seeds, because not all players have the same amount of farm plots. This way, you get to choose how many you end up growing. :)
  
• Why don't my custom seeds last longer?
  Because they're OP! Enjoy them while they last. :)


• How do I please the judges?
  Just keep growing plants. As your event progress increases, you will impress the judges more and more. You DO NOT need to place them in your garden if you don't wish to. The plants still count for progress.


• Does the Timey-Wimey watch or Time Turner affect the judges?
  No, judges do not have quest cooldowns, so trinket effects that work for quests will not apply to them.


• What adds to my event progress?
  Growing plants worth points and completing the side quests. To get the points from your plants, you don't even need to place them in your garden! Just grow them!


• Do I have to do the achievements?
  No. Completing the goals for the achievements is totally optional. You get either a large energy pack or a title for your character from them, no event progress.


• Where can I see all the achievements available and how to get them?
  Either on the holiday dialog, the achievements dialog, or on the blog.

Winners

Community Choice

Congratulations again to all our winners, your Bush Buck prizes have been added to your accounts!

Hi Whackers!

The Gorgeous Garden Contest is now underway!

We want to see YOUR talented, artistic skills at gardening/art. It's super easy to get started, just start growing plants. When you've got enough, you can begin to lay out your designs in the event area. Once you've managed to get at least a D from each of the judges, you're golden for entering the contest!

How the Contest Works

When you're ready, talk to the photographer (he's got a yellow ! above his head) and have him take a picture of your fantasy garden. You can submit as many times as you would like, but only your most recent submission will get the votes. Each time you do submit a screenshot, your votes will reset to make it fair for everyone, so plan carefully! Submissions will be accepted until *Wednesday, June 1st, 2022, - Noon PDT.*

You Get to Vote!

YOU get to vote too! The coveted 'User's Choice' award is picked by the Bush Whacker Community, and has a prize of 50 Bush Bucks! You can vote for as many submissions as you like, and at the end of the event the top submission as voted by YOU the players will be awarded the prize.

Notes about Voting!

• Asking to visit the contest or the voting page no longer takes you outside the game; it simply loads the contest/voting page over top it! Finished voting? You can easily return to the event area by clicking "Back to Game" at the bottom of the screen. Easy as pie!


• Can't decide between two layouts? That’s ok! You now have a way to say "Next Please," and two new images will be loaded up for you!


• Tired of seeing the same layouts previously? We've improved the system, you should see the same layouts repeated far more infrequently now.

Post questions and comments here!

Flowers In Bloom!

The annual Grow-A-Thon has returned to the Commons! Whack the bushes and gather their bounty so that you can plant flowers and trees in the Event area to make yourself a gorgeous garden. Impress the judges every 20 hours to earn Spring tokens to buy this year’s Custom Items. You need to impress the previous judge to get a rating from the next one.

Plus, fill your magnificent garden with critters! There are 5 to get throughout the event, starting with the Squirrel today! You can send out requests for a free one.

Many Quests!

George has such a terrible green thumb, he’ll be looking for you to help him out trying to grow a plant for the first (or fourth) time.

Spring usually means spring cleaning, right? Freddy needs some help cleaning up his house. It’s gotten a little bit spooky. Cleaning items can only be whacked in his house.

Timmy wants to wake his turtle up from its hibernation after that long, cold winter. Aid him in finding things to tempt it back to consciousness.

Have too many seeds? There are things you can spend them on:
- 10 Fertilizer, once daily
- The Spring Gift Bouquet, once daily (alternatively to buying for Spring Tokens)
- Reseting the cooldown on the critic's judging of your garden

For players level 400+, Farmer McDonald will reward you with Tier 2 Spring Fruit and Spring Vegetable seeds! These crops will yield energy and gold balanced for your higher level.

Gorgeous Garden Contest

Returning is the Gorgeous Garden contest, where each Bush Whacker submits a screenshot of their garden for all to judge! Check back next week for more details.

New for 2022

If you can complete the event, you'll earn the Spring Garden Box!

More Bees!

Joel has three new species of bees for you to choose from after you complete his bee helping quests! They are the Blue Banded Bee, Neon Cuckoo Bee, and Green Carpenter Bee.

More Decorations!

Two new growable decorations have been added: the Orange Rose and White Sunflower! Plant seeds for these in your garden boxes in the event area. These can also be bought permanently from Joel at the left of the event area.

Nine new garden items can be bought for seeds: - Blue Watering Can
- Garden Fence
- Birdhouse
- Blue Birdhouse
- Heart Birdhouse
- Greenhouse
- Bee Box
- Beehive
- Stone Pond

Faster Judging!

Similar to the Halloween event, you can now spend Seeds or Bush Bucks to instantly allow the critics judge your garden, instead of waiting the full cooldown.

And finally, the critics will instantly give you their tokens if you've earned enough spring points! Each critic has a different threshold of spring points you must have before they'll do this.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How can I find the seeds?
  Just keep whacking. The Holiday Item runes and pets will help attract them as well.


• How do I grow plants?
  There are the planters outside the garden to grow flowers in. If you click on them, you can see the plant store. Each plant has a different cost and grow time to get you your event progress points. You start with 4 free planters.


• Is it good to buy extra planters for growing the plants?
  If you have the seeds to spare and prefer to plant long-growing plants, then yes, it’s worth it.


• How do I get the Decorator achievement?
  If you go into the gardening area, the store button ($) has a selection of garden decorating items, where you can find the planter styles and watering can. These items also cost seeds.


• What are the possible seed combinations for Farmer MacDonald’s quest?
  You can choose seeds that grow either Energy or Gold, and then choose between 20, 15, 4, and 3 hours of growth time.


• Why do my custom seeds cost Gold to plant?
  You created the combination, which is unlocked until they expire. Just like normal plants, they cost Gold for planting. We don't award a flat number of seeds, because not all players have the same amount of farm plots. This way, you get to choose how many you end up growing. :)
  
• Why don’t my custom seeds last longer?
  Because they're OP! Enjoy them while they last. :)


• How do I please the judges?
  Just keep growing plants. As your event progress increases, you will impress the judges more and more. You DO NOT need to place them in your garden if you don't wish to. The plants still count for progress.


• Does the Timey-Wimey watch or Time Turner affect the judges?
  No, judges do not have quest cooldowns, so trinket effects that work for quests will not apply to them.


• What adds to my event progress?
  Growing plants worth points and completing the side quests. To get the points from your plants, you don't even need to place them in your garden! Just grow them!


• Do I have to do the achievements?
  No. Completing the goals for the achievements is totally optional. You get either a large energy pack or a title for your character from them, no event progress.


• Where can I see all the achievements available and how to get them?
  Either on the holiday dialog, the achievements dialog, or on the blog.
