Hidden behind layers of tasks and timing, the Nutty Chest is one of the most rewarding secrets in Grow a Garden. Here’s how players can track it down, crack it open, and claim the rare items waiting inside.
While you can obviously get some free rewards from the event reward track, the exclusive Nutty Chest promises to give you some of the best seeds and pets in this season. So, check out this guide to know all the easy ways to get the Nutty Chest in Grow a Garden and what rewards it offers.
How to Obtain a Nutty Chest in Grow a Garden
Place the free Chubby Chipmunk from the Nuts NPC banner into your garden and wait for it to eat plants, gain weight, and drop an acorn in the lobby for collection, which has a chance to yield the Nutty Chest. Collect acorns from these drops or trigger Nutty Fever by filling the 1500-point progress bar at the Nuts NPC through submitted harvests-commons give 2 points up to transcendent at 9-to boost spawns across the map. Advance the event reward track or purchase exotic versions from the shop for higher odds at divine rewards like Acorn or Chinchilla inside.
Before we start, here’s a brief description of the new chest in the game. The Nutty Chest, as the name suggests, is brown in color, with a base of a lighter shade than its lid. It also has a small acorn drawn on top of the lid, and hence perfectly matches the theme based around chipmunks.
You can participate in the action right after the Grow a Garden weather and admin events are done. There are three ways in which you can get the Nutty Chest in Grow a Garden: from the Chipmunk Rewards, the Chubby Chipmunk reward track, and from the in-game shop. Below is a detailed list of the methods to obtain it.
1. Free Chipmunk Rewards
The easiest and absolutely free way to get the Nutty Chests in the game is by making use of the Chubby Chipmunk’s passive trait. As you step into the game, once the update is live, you will receive a free Chubby Chipmunk by interacting with the banner to the right of the new Nuts NPC at the center.
Place this Chipmunk in your garden, and wait for its unique trait to activate. The Chubby Chipmunk’s passive is to eat a random plant, gain some weight, and spawn an Acorn at any random location in the lobby.
Now the task is simple, and all you need to do is find the Acorn. Collecting this nut will give you a random reward that has a small chance of being the Nutty Chest.
2. Chubby Chipmunk Reward Track
The second method is from the Chubby Chipmunk event reward track. The event is happening at the center of the lobby, and on the left of the Nuts NPC, you’ll find the Reward Track banner.
Interacting with this signboard will allow you to claim the prizes and also display all of them that you can get by completing the event tasks. Among these prizes, there’s Nutty Chest available at specific intervals, along with crates, tools, and more.
The single task that you must complete in this event is to help the Chubby Chipmunk grow in size. Since its weight is tied to the reward track, the higher your pet weighs, the more rewards are unlocked.

3. In-Game Shop
Finally, if you’re short on time and don’t mind spending some Robux, then head over to the in-game shop by clicking the shop button on the left of the screen. Here, you can spend Robux to buy the Exotic Nutty chests available at the given price range:
- 1 Chest: 199 Robux
- 3 Chests: 575 Robux
- 10 Chests: 1699 Robux
The only catch of buying an Exotic Nutty chest is that you have a chance to get a Rainbow mutated pet or seed. And, this chance is guaranteed once you open a total of 125 such chests.
All Nutty Chest Rewards in Grow a Garden
The Nutty Chest in Grow a Garden offers these rewards: 5 Nutty Seeds, 3 Golden Acorns, 2 Rare Fertilizers, 1 Legendary Shovel, and 500 Garden Coins. Players receive one random item per chest opened, with higher chances for seeds during events. Collect enough nuts from nut trees to access multiple chests and stock up on these items fast.

Best methods to farm acorns fast in Grow a Garden
Farming acorns fast in Grow a Garden relies on optimizing your Chubby Chipmunk pet and event mechanics like Nutty Fever. The best strategies focus on rapid spawns, high-efficiency crops, and boosts.
Optimal Crops
Plant Mangoes or Sugar Apples in stacks of 10 or more for the highest acorn drop efficiency. These crops outperform others due to better drop rates per harvest, allowing quick progression to the 1,500 acorn cap. Dedicate garden sections to large fields and harvest in batches for speed.
Trigger Nutty Fever
Harvest plants to fill your sack and submit them until reaching 1,500 points-common plants give 1 point, rares 3, up to transcendentals at 9. This activates Nutty Fever, turning the sky brown and massively boosting acorn spawns for five minutes. Repeat frequently by prioritizing higher-rarity plants.
Pet and Boost Enhancements
Keep the Chubby Chipmunk active in your garden; it eats a crop every 118 seconds, spawning an acorn notification-collect immediately to reset the timer. Use pet treats, grandmaster sprinklers for pet buffs, and strong equipped pets to accelerate weight gain and spawns. Maintain a full garden of ready crops to avoid delays.
Which plants give the most acorns per harvest
Mangoes and Sugar Apples provide the highest acorn drop rates per harvest in Grow a Garden. Stacks of 10 or more of these crops maximize efficiency, outperforming others due to superior drop mechanics during Chipmunk interactions.
Why These Crops Excel
These plants yield the best acorns-to-harvest ratio, enabling faster sack filling toward the 1,500-point Nutty Fever threshold. Common plants give minimal returns, while rarer ones like these scale better with volume harvesting.
Farming Tips
Plant in large fields (10+ stacks) and harvest repeatedly to trigger frequent acorn spawns from your Chubby Chipmunk. Combine with Nutty Fever cycles for exponential gains, avoiding lower-yield crops like basics.
