Roblox sensation Grow a Garden is adding trading by the end of July or early August 2025. Here’s what’s coming, why it matters, and what else the dev just admitted to fans.
One of Roblox’s Biggest Games Is Finally Fixing Its Scamming Problem
Grow a Garden, the Roblox game that straight-up broke player count records (yes, even beating Fortnite numbers back in June), is finally doing what fans have been begging for: trading is on the way.
After months of TikTok threads, Discord rants, and Instagram DMs, the game’s dev Jandel has confirmed that a proper trading system is set to drop July 26 or August 2, 2025. Those dates line up with the game’s usual Saturday update pattern — so mark your calendars.
Why This Trading Update Actually Matters
Right now, the “trading” in Grow a Garden is basically the Wild West. Players offer items in public servers, but nothing’s enforced. If you give your item away and the other player ghosts you? That’s it. No recourse. You just got finessed.
This update should finally bring in:
- Secure, two-sided trades
- Fewer scams and rage quits
- Way more incentive to collect and barter rare pets and items
In short: it’s going to turn this chill garden game into a trading sim in disguise — and we’re here for it.
Jandel’s Taking Feedback Seriously — and Owning the L’s
In a refreshingly honest Discord post, Jandel didn’t just announce the update — he also responded to some of the recent salt from the community.
The Kitsune Pet Drama
Fans were not vibing with the .08% drop rate for the Kitsune pet in the recent Zen update. That’s rarer than a clean public server.
His response?
“We won’t do this again, no excuses, my bad for this, I wasn’t respecting the community.”
Respect. A lot of devs would’ve ghosted. Jandel just came out and took the L like a boss.
Event Fatigue Is Real (Even for the Dev)
Some players also called out how the game’s events have been feeling kind of… copy-paste lately. Turns out, even Jandel agrees.
“I have been doing new events now for 3 months… maybe I am creatively drained.”
He’s now leaning into community-sourced ideas, saying he checks the starboard (a Discord feature that pins top-liked posts) every day. So if you’ve got a banger idea? Now’s your time.
Pro Tips Before the Update Drops
While we wait for trading to go live, here’s what to do:
- Stockpile rare pets and items. The more you’ve got, the more leverage you’ll have when bartering begins.
- Hang out in the Discord. Jandel’s watching suggestions, and you might even help shape the next event.
- Be ready to dodge lowballers. You know someone’s gonna offer a dandelion for your Kitsune.
A Game-Changing Update Is Almost Here
- Trading update arrives July 26 or August 2, 2025
- Scamming’s days are numbered thanks to secure trade mechanics
- Kitsune pet drop rate backlash = lesson learned
- Jandel’s creatively tapped out, but open to your ideas
Whether you’re a gardening grindlord or just pop in to flex pets, this is the biggest update Grow a Garden has had since it blew up. Let’s hope it blossoms.
