Is the Grow a Garden Elder Strawberry worth your hard-earned Robux or Sheckles? Nope, not so fast! This shiny seed, part of the July 27, 2025, Corrupted Update in Grow a Garden, looks tempting at 957 Robux or 7M Sheckles, but gggamer.net’s guide shows you why it’s a trap and how to snag it for free with a smarter method. Let’s dig into this juicy strategy and save your wallet!
Why the Elder Strawberry Isn’t Worth Buying
The Grow a Garden Elder Strawberry boasts a high base value, selling for around 50k–60k Sheckles per fruit, but it’s not the golden ticket it seems. Compared to the Sugar Apple (cheaper at 5M Sheckles or 500 Robux, similar value), it’s overpriced, and the Zen shop restocks it only once a day. Why wait or pay when you can farm it faster for free? Here’s the lowdown.
The OP Free Farming Method
Skip the shop and use pets to farm the Grow a Garden Elder Strawberry:
Shiba Inu Pet: Costs 33% chance from the cheapest egg (Zen shop). Every 55 seconds, it has a 15% chance to dig up a random seed, including the Elder Strawberry, often in under two hours.
Golden Lab Alternative: Slightly worse at 10% chance per minute, but still viable from the same egg.
How to Farm: Place 4–6 Shiba Inus or Golden Labs in your garden. Stand in the middle, stay active (click every 5 seconds to avoid AFK kicks), and let them dig. You’ll nab Elder Strawberry seeds, Burning Buds, or Pine Cones fast.
Tip: Use a Lucky Harvest Snail pet to boost seed drops during harvests for even more Elder Strawberries.
Why This Method Rocks
Free and Fast: No Robux or Sheckles needed—Shiba Inu can dig up an Elder Strawberry in 1–2 hours.
Multi-Seed Bonus: You’ll also score other rare seeds like Ember Lily or Pine Cone while farming.
No Waiting: Shop restocks take a day; this method gets you seeds in hours.
Scales with Pets: More Shiba Inus (up to 6 with upgrades) mean faster drops.
Better Alternatives to Elder Strawberry
Sugar Apple: Nearly the same value, cheaper (500 Robux or 5M Sheckles), and more common in the Zen shop.
Pine Cone or Ember Lily: Often dug up by Shiba Inu, with solid value and faster availability.
Pro Tip: If you must spend Robux, get a Shiba Inu egg—it’s a better investment than the Elder Strawberry.
Pro Tips to Maximize Your Farm
Stay Active: Click every 5 seconds to avoid AFK kicks while pets dig.
Use Snail Pet: Pair with a Lucky Harvest Snail for bonus seed drops during harvests.
Stockpile Seeds: Save Elder Strawberries for the August 2, 2025, trading update to sell high.
Is the Elder Strawberry Just Cosmetic?
Some players think the Grow a Garden Elder Strawberry is cosmetic due to its flashy look, but it’s a functional plant with high Sheckle value. Still, its rarity and cost don’t justify buying when you can farm it easily. Check gggamer.net for more on upcoming seeds and events in the Corrupted Update, ending August 2, 2025.
