If you’re playing Grow a Garden and going to power up your pets, the Jumbo Pet Mutation Shard is a game-changer. This shard grants the Jumbo mutation, boosting your pet’s size, XP by 50%, and nearby Safari crops. Here’s how you get it, why it’s valuable, and some pro tips for improving your chances.

Where the Shard Lives

Grow a Garden’s Safari Shop is the one and only location where you can buy the Jumbo Pet Mutation Shard.

You have to achieve a community milestone until the store will let you get the shard, though. The community must reach 55 billion points in the Safari event to unlock the shard in the store. When the shop updates after it has been unlocked, it can be bought (for “sheckles” in-game currency). 

How to Unlock the Milestone

• See the banner on the left when you enter the Safari Harvest event spot; it will display the milestone progress.
• When the important target of 55 billion community points is achieved, the shard will show up in the Safari Shop.
• Earlier milestones, like 35 billion and 80 billion points, give “shop-luck” bonuses that slightly increase your chances of seeing the shard once unlocked.

Buying the Shard

After reaching the target of 55 billion points:

• Look for the Jumbo Pet Mutation Shard in the items list at the Safari Shop.
• Check constantly until it shows, as the shop refreshes every 15 minutes or so.
• When it’s accessible, buy it with sheckles, your in-game currency. Skip the grind and jump straight into high-level farming with premium Grow a Garden accounts loaded with rare pets, boosts, and massive progress.

Why the Jumbo Mutation is Worth It

• The Jumbo mutation raises your pet’s size and provides them 50% more experience points.
• The Jumbo mutation boosts your pet’s size. It also increases the size of nearby Safari crops.
• Each crop planted close to your pet adds to the size bonus. The effect works up to a set limit, usually around 300 plants.
• This mutation greatly boosts your farm’s yield if you’ve earned every slot and are keen on maximizing it.

Pro Tips & Strategy

• Play the Safari event as actively as possible. Focus on earning high points during every run. Your contribution helps push the community toward the 55-billion goal. 
• Since accessibility depends on drop/appearance possibilities, check the shop regularly (every 15 minutes) after unlocking the shard.

• Use the Jumbo mutation to boost your pet’s performance. Pair it with other farm-boosting equipment for maximum impact. Sprinklers from the Gear Shop are especially useful for higher yield. 
• Try waiting if you have yet to establish a sizable Safari crop area or are presently unlocking farm slots; once you use the Jumbo mutation, you’ll want to profit from all of its benefits.

You can get that Jumbo Pet Mutation Shard with consistent gameplay. Attend events regularly to accelerate your progress. Be persistent when checking the Safari Shop for shard availability.

These steps together greatly enhance your pet’s strength. Your overall farm productivity will also grow significantly. Good luck, and may your garden grow big and bountiful!
