The Zen Update has introduced a serene yet grind-worthy mechanic into Grow a Garden through the Tranquil Treasures Zen Shop. Unlike traditional shops in the game, this special shop uses a brand-new currency called Chi, which can only be earned during the Zen Event. Not only do you need Chi to buy rare items, but you must also level up the Zen Shop to unlock access to all available rewards.

This comprehensive guide walks you through how to earn Chi, how to level up your Zen Shop, where to find the Zen Tree, and a full breakdown of all items and unlock levels.

How to Earn Chi in Grow a Garden

Chi is the only currency accepted at the Tranquil Treasures Zen Shop. To earn it, you'll need to trade in crops that have received the Tranquil Mutation. You can only collect these during a Zen Event, which occurs once every hour.

Zen Events: How They Work

·During each Zen Event, random crops in your garden will receive the Tranquil Mutation.

·Harvest these special crops, then submit them either to the Zen Shop (for Chi) or to the Zen Channeller (to level up your Zen Tree and Shop).

·Zen Events also reset and restock the Zen Shop's inventory hourly.

Chi Earnings by Rarity

Each Tranquil plant gives a specific amount of Chi based on rarity:

·Common: 1 Chi

·Uncommon: 2 Chi

·Rare: 3 Chi

·Legendary: 4 Chi

·Mythical: 5 Chi

·Divine: 6 Chi

·Prismatic: 7 Chi

·Transcendent: 8 Chi

Chi Bonus from Gold & Rainbow Crops

·Gold Crops: +2 extra Chi

·Rainbow Crops: +3 extra Chi

These bonuses stack on top of the base value from the table above. A Rainbow Transcendent crop will net you a whopping 11 Chi!

Zen Tree Chi Rewards

You can also grow the Zen Tree by submitting Tranquil crops to the Zen Channeller. As you level the tree, it occasionally gives out Chi as a reward.

How to Level Up the Zen Shop (Zen Tree Stages)

Initially, the Zen Shop offers only four basic items. To access more powerful and rarer gear, you'll need to unlock higher shop tiers.

Zen Channeller and Zen Tree

·Located in the center of the Zen Garden, the Zen Channeller is the meditating NPC who controls the Zen Tree.

·Submit Tranquil plants here to increase the Zen Tree's level, unlocking new items in the Zen Shop.

Strategy Tip:

Focus your early Zen Events on leveling the Zen Tree. The sooner you unlock later tiers, the more item variety (and value) you'll have access to. Only start hoarding Chi after reaching Shop Tier 5+.

How to Restock the Zen Shop Early

Normally, the Zen Shop restocks hourly. However, if you're impatient or chasing specific items, you can manually restock using Grow a Garden Sheckles.

·1st Reroll: 500,000 Sheckles

·2nd Reroll: 1,000,000 Sheckles

·3rd Reroll: 2,000,000 Sheckles

The cost resets daily, so if you're stockpiling Sheckles, consider doing your rerolls early in the day.

Tips for Farming Chi Fast

1. Grow High-Rarity Crops: Focus on Mythical+ crops during normal farming to maximize Chi when Tranquil Events hit.

2. Use Boosts: Growth speed boosts and mutation chance boosters help increase your Tranquil crop count.

3. Upgrade Tools: Faster harvesting = more Tranquil crops during the short Zen Event window.

4. Coordinate with Friends: Trade seeds or gifts that can help you breed better crops more consistently.

5. Balance Submissions: Split your Tranquil crops between the Channeller (for shop unlocks) and Tanuki (for Chi).

Final Thoughts

The Zen Shop in Grow a Garden is a meaningful addition that rewards patience, efficiency, and high-level gardening. If you're aiming to complete your Zen Collection or unlock all decorative and utility items, Chi management and Tree progression are the keys.
