What is the Zen Event?
The Zen Aura is a weather event that happens every hour in Grow a Garden. When it starts, the sky fills with maple leaves and white cloud lines, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The event lasts for 10 minutes and sends a blue aura across your garden that can give your crops the new Tranquil mutation.
You can check when the next Zen Event starts by looking at the timer behind Zen Chaneller in the event hub, so you don’t have to track it yourself.
New Tranquil Mutation
The Tranquil mutation is the star of the Zen Event. Here’s what you need to know about it:
| Detail | Value |

| Appearance | White bubble effect with Japanese letters |
| Sell Multiplier | 20x |
| How to Get | Zen Aura event, Tanchozuru pet, or Tranquil mutation pets |

Two New Currencies: Chi and Zen
The Zen Event introduces two special currencies that work differently:
- Chi Points: Used to buy items from the Zen Shop. You get Chi by trading your Tranquil mutation crops to the Zen Shop NPC. You can trade one plant at a time or use the “Take all my Tranquil plants” option to trade them all at once.
- Zen: Used to grow the Zen Tree behind Zen Chaneller. You get Zen by submitting your Tranquil fruits to Zen Chaneller. The amount of Zen you get depends on the rarity of the plant you trade.
