Grow A Garden Gem Chest Rewards And How To Get Them

The Farmers Market update in Grow a Garden has brought a lot of excitement to the game. Players now have a dedicated trading hub, new plants to work toward, and a small side quest that rewards some pretty valuable items. One of the standout rewards is the Gem Chest, a rare chest that holds some of the most interesting pets and plants you can add to your garden.

These rewards aren’t only fun to collect, they can also be traded for extra tokens, which makes them even more desirable. If you’re trying to figure out what you can get from a Gem Chest and how to get one, this guide breaks it all down in a simple, clear way.

What You Can Get From a Gem Chest

Opening a Gem Chest gives you one random reward from a fixed pool. The items range from Uncommon all the way up to Divine rarity. The Divine items are what most players are chasing, especially because they can change how you play and grow your collection.

Here’s the full list of rewards you can pull:

Gem Fruit – Uncommon
Clam – Uncommon
Coilvine – Legendary
Magpie – Legendary
Asteris – Divine
Bearded Dragon – Divine

The first two rewards are more common and drop more often. They’re useful for early progression but won’t feel too special if you’ve played for a while. The Legendary rewards, Coilvine and Magpie, are where things start getting exciting. They have better stats and make great additions to your growing lineup.

The real chase items are the Asteris plant and the Bearded Dragon pet. Asteris is one of the most beautiful Divine plants in the game, and it stands out visually in any garden. The Bearded Dragon is even more valuable because of its passive effect. It can eat fruit from any Divine or higher-rarity plant and then give you a pet egg from the egg shop. This makes it an efficient and fun helper, especially if you’re trying to complete your pet collection.

How to Get a Gem Chest in Grow a Garden

There are only two reliable ways to get a Gem Chest right now. You can earn them through Trader Troy’s quests, or you can buy them directly from the in-game shop using Robux. Both methods work, but they serve different types of players.

Let’s break down each one.

1. Trader Troy’s Rewards (Free Option)

If you want Gem Chests without spending Robux, this is your best bet. Trader Troy stands next to the main green portal that leads to the Farmers Market. You’ll see him at his stall with a display of plants floating above him. These show exactly what he needs for his current request.

Your job is simple. Bring him the plants he’s asking for. Once you turn them in, you’ll get a random reward from his reward pool. The catch is that the Gem Chest has a low drop rate, sitting around 5.48%. That means you’ll need a good amount of patience and several attempts before seeing one.

Each quest refreshes every hour. After you submit a set of plants, you’ll have to wait until the next refresh before you can participate again. This timer keeps things fair and prevents players from spamming rewards.

There’s a skip button available if you don’t have the requested plant, but it costs Robux. Using it is optional. Many players choose to wait for the next refresh instead.

This method is perfect if you’re not in a hurry, or if you enjoy grinding and collecting plants casually.

2. Buying Gem Chests From the Shop (Robux Option)

If you don’t mind spending currency, the in-game shop offers Gem Chests directly. Buying them gives you a more predictable path toward the rarest items, and you can open several at once if you want to speed things up.

Here are the current prices:

1 Chest – 199 Robux
3 Chests – 575 Robux
10 Chests – 1699 Robux

Players who plan on opening many chests usually go for the 10-pack because it saves the most Robux. Since Divine plants and pets are harder to get in the free method, spending Robux can feel like the faster and more rewarding approach.

The in-shop chests also have slightly better odds for higher-tier items, making it easier to chase the Asteris or the Bearded Dragon.

Is the Gem Chest Worth It?

For most players, yes. Even if you don’t pull a Divine item every time, the chest always gives something useful. Uncommon and Legendary rewards can still help you progress, and the chance of unlocking a powerful Divine pet makes opening each chest feel exciting.

If you’re a collector or if you love trading, the Gem Chest becomes even more valuable. Duplicate rares can be traded to other players, giving you the flexibility to grow your garden without waiting on random drops.
