How to Get Acorn Chest in Grow a Garden
The Acorn is a Divine-tier crop introduced in Grow a Garden during the Chubby Chipmunk Event on October 4, 2025. It’s a special, multi-harvest seed that stands out for its rarity and aesthetic appeal.
Appearance
The Acorn appears as a blocky brown tree with a small stump base and two branching limbs topped with green block-like leaves. Its produce looks like a khaki, upside-down pentagon with a deep brown top resembling a traditional acorn cap. The unique cubic design fits perfectly with the stylized world of Grow a Garden.
The Acorn is a rare and valuable crop that rewards patient players during the Chubby Chipmunk Event. While it’s challenging to obtain, its multi-harvest nature and high value make it worth the effort. To improve your chances of finding special event items like the Acorn, make sure to buy Grow A Garden pets — they can help you collect resources faster and unlock unique rewards throughout your gardening journey.

How to Get the Acorn in Grow a Garden
The Acorn is a limited-time seed only available during the Chubby Chipmunk Event. To get it, players need to open Nutty Chests, which can be earned through event activities. Unfortunately, the drop rate is very low — just 1%, the same as the Chinchilla Pet.
Here’s how to earn Nutty Chests:
- Feed Your Chubby Chipmunk Pet – Each time it eats a fruit, it will spawn an acorn somewhere on the island. These acorns have a small chance to drop a Nutty Chest, and an even smaller chance to drop two.
- Gain Weight Milestones – As your Chubby Chipmunk grows heavier, you’ll unlock milestone rewards. Some of these milestones can include Nutty Chests, which can be claimed at the Unclaimed Rewards sign.
- Participate in the Event – Event tasks and achievements can occasionally yield Rainbow Sacks, which have a 7% chance to contain the Acorn.
Farming and Use
Once planted, the Acorn acts as a multi-harvest crop, allowing you to continuously collect produce from it without replanting. However:
- The Acorn Seed cannot be bought from the Seed Shop.
- It cannot appear in Lucky Harvests.
- Pets like the Red Fox or Dog cannot help you find it, as event seeds are excluded from their abilities.
This makes the Acorn one of the most exclusive and rewarding crops for long-term players and collectors.
Trivia
- The Acorn was first teased during the Fall Market Event as a decorative tree.
- It’s the second item in the game with “Acorn” in its name (after the Golden Acorn).
- It shares the same rarity and drop rates as the Chinchilla pet.
