Halloween has arrived in Grow a Garden, bringing with it the most impressive collection of spooky companions you've ever seen. The Ghoul Garden Event introduces nine unique pets, each with supernatural abilities that will change the way you approach gardening. From the chaos-causing Headless Horseman to the supporting spider with its web mechanic, these Halloween creatures provide both visual flair and powerful gameplay benefits.
What makes Ghoul Garden Pets so special?
These are not your typical garden companions. Each Ghoul Garden pet comes with Halloween-themed abilities ranging from fruit mutations to player transformations. You'll find pets that sacrifice resources for massive boosts, others that create advantageous zones, and some that fundamentally change your character's abilities.

The event runs on the Candy Corn currency, which you earn through the Witch's Brew mechanic. Fill the cauldron with any fruit, wait for the 2 minute cooldown and claim your rewards. Top contributors receive double the standard reward, so teamwork is essential for efficient farming.

warning
This pet's sacrificial mechanism can disrupt carefully leveled pets, so plan your garden design accordingly.
Legendary Tier Powerhouses
Spider creates the most effective zone control. Every 8 minutes it weaves a web of 18.28 studs, giving pets a +1.02 second cooldown reduction and plants growing 15.28 seconds faster every second. Position this strategically near your most valuable plants.
Wolf offers both utility and player improvement. Every 4-6 minutes, his howl transforms nearby fruits into moonlit variants, transforming you into a werewolf. During this transformation, you gain 40-80% movement speed and 80-160% jump height for quick garden traversal.
Companion and farm animals
Reaper embodies risk-reward gameplay with his Reap What You Sow ability. Every 12-22 minutes, it sacrifices 4 random fruits to grant either a medium passive boost or a medium XP boost to a random pet. Calculate your fruit production carefully before using this pet.
Black Cat offers consistent size bonuses through its cauldron interaction. It visits a Cauldron cosmetic every 3.56 minutes, sleeps for 15.07 seconds, and makes nearby fruits 1.38 times larger.
Ghost Bear turns the spooky mutation every 18-20 minutes by his “Boo!” on fruits. Ability, perfect for themed gardens.
Bone Dog acts as your seed acquisition specialist. Every 76.86 seconds there is a 15.16% chance of digging up random seeds, including exclusive varieties that can only be discovered by him.
Optimization strategies
Early game focus
Start with Bat and Pumpkin Rat for their low cost and immediate benefits. Bat offers a 0.71x variant chance bonus for spooky plants within 32.57 pips, while Pumpkin Rat converts pumpkins into collectible Jack-O-Lantern cosmetics.
Mid-game expansion
Prioritize Spider for its game-changing web mechanics, then add Wolf to reap the movement benefits during farming sessions. The werewolf transformation will become invaluable as your garden grows.
Endgame Collection
Reaper and Headless Horseman represent the pinnacle of risk-reward gameplay. Pursue these measures only after you have established stable fruit production and understand their disruptive potential.
Whether you're drawn to the Spider's tactical web placement or the Headless Horseman's chaotic mutations, each Ghoul Garden pet offers different gameplay benefits. Plan your Candy Corn spending carefully, focus on pets that complement your play style, and prepare for the most supernatural gardening experience Grow a Garden has ever offered.
