Grow A Garden just dropped a fat stack of new pets in its Summer Update—and some of them are actually cracked. We're talking parrots, sea creatures, and a very smug-looking peacock, all packed with fresh passive abilities to boost your XP, cooldowns, or plant game.
While a few abilities are still under wraps (classic leak life), early info gives us a solid look at what to expect once the Paradise and Summer Eggs crack open. Here are all the new pets added in the Grow A Garden Summer update.
Editor's Note: The information in this guide is based on leaks. The pets and their respective abilities are subject to change. I will update this page once the patch is live.
