Ah, so there I was, scrolling through endless cat videos when I stumbled upon something unexpected. A little game called “Grow a Garden” has somehow exploded into this massive thing in 2025. Can you believe it? Popped up in March, and people can’t seem to stay away. Updates, events—honestly, it’s like the game is throwing a never-ending party, and everyone’s invited. Especially after they introduced this cooking-themed event. Got me curious, I’d say.
Now here’s where it gets quirky. We’re seeing merch. Not just any merch, but plushies! Some Amazon seller named VatanFari has jumped into the fray, whipping up plushies inspired by the game’s pets. Yeah, you heard right. They claim to take a dash—okay, maybe a big spoonful—of inspiration from the Grow a Garden universe.
And here’s the juicy part, there’s like, a zoo’s worth of pets in the game, but only a handful have been immortalized in plush form. You got your everyday Chicken and Racoon, but then—hold up—there’s a Disco Bee. I know, right? Limited options, but oh, the Chicken Zombie from some giveaway made the cut. Wild.
Sizing it up, these plushies stand at 10 inches. Most of them are around 18 bucks, but not the Chicken Zombie, oh no. Thanks to its jockey rider (don’t ask), it’s a chunky 12 inches and costs $30. Inflation? Maybe just a marketing tactic—no clue.
Weirdly enough, no “official” merch has popped up yet. Sort of makes a rebel feel to the whole thing with these third-party sellers on Amazon and Etsy taking charge as this game spreads its roots or whatever plants do.
But I get it, ordering from third-party sellers can be a bit of a gamble. So, VatanFari, right? Looks like they have decent reviews elsewhere. Plus, ordering plushies is like, low stakes. Amazon offers that trusty 30-day refund, so if it turns out bad, no biggie. Just send it back.
There it is. A mishmash of fun, games, and plushies. And someone on the other side is making a mint selling a little piece of that joy. It’s kinda refreshing.
