The Scarecrow is a new Divine pet added to Grow a Garden with the third part of the Fall Market Event 2026. It was added on October 3, 2026, and comes with a unique passive that sacrifices Crow pets to age up other pets in your garden. You can obtain Scarecrow through the new Shady Scarecrow NPC.
This guide explains how to get Scarecrow in Grow a Garden, how the Shady Scarecrow works, and what Scarecrow’s passive does.
How to get Scarecrow in Grow a Garden
Scarecrow is obtained through the Shady Scarecrow, an NPC introduced as part of the Fall Market Event 2026. Unlike pets that come from eggs, you need to submit a seed to the Shady Scarecrow to receive a reward. The seed’s rarity determines its Seed Score, which affects the quality and chances of the rewards you can receive.
To get Scarecrow, approach the Shady Scarecrow and submit a seed from your inventory. The NPC consumes the seed and assigns it a Seed Score based on its rarity. The higher your Seed Score, the better your chances of obtaining rarer rewards. Scarecrow and the Maple Melt seed are among the rewards with the rarest chances from the Shady Scarecrow.
What is the Shady Scarecrow in Grow a Garden?
The Shady Scarecrow is a new NPC that lets you exchange seeds for rewards. You can submit almost any seed you have to the NPC. Once submitted, the seed is consumed and converted into a Seed Score according to its rarity. For example, a Common seed gives you a lower Seed Score, while a Transcendent seed gives you the highest possible score.
Your Seed Score determines your chances of receiving different rewards from the Shady Scarecrow. Therefore, submitting a higher-rarity seed is generally better if you’re trying to obtain one of the rare rewards.
The Seed Score is determined by the rarity of the seed you submit:

What does Scarecrow do in Grow a Garden?
Scarecrow has a passive called Farewell Crows. Every 18 minutes and 31 seconds, Scarecrow causes a Crow pet in your garden to fly away permanently. In exchange, it ages a random pet by 1 level. Note that the Crow does not return after being sacrificed.
This makes Scarecrow particularly interesting if you have spare Crow pets that you don’t mind losing. However, you should be careful if you only have a small number of Crows, since the passive permanently removes one from your garden whenever it activates.
