The Grow a Garden NPC Friendship system unlocks a range of new seeds to purchase! To obtain these Grow a Garden seeds, you need to spend Garden Coins, which you can learn more about in our Grow a Garden Ascension guide.

Grow a Garden NPC Friendship

When speaking to Sam, the NPC who stands at the Seed Shop stall, you may have noticed that there is now a second tier to unlock in the shop! With a padlock icon and ‘Feed NPC to unlock’ written next to it, how do you unlock this feature?

How to Unlock NPC Friendship

To unlock the NPC Friendship feature with Sam, you need to hand over any food that you have cooked to feed him. It doesn’t matter which food type you give him. As soon as you hand over a meal for him to eat, the NPC Friendship system unlocks!

How to Increase NPC Friendship

Once unlocked, you can see a Friendship Level meter which appears above Sam’s head. When you level up the Friendship with Sam to level 2, the Tier 2 Seed Shop unlocks. The higher the Friendship Level, the more items are on offer within the shop. You earn more Friendship Points when you give Sam food of a higher rarity.

  • Friendship Level 1
    • Requires 15 points
  • Friendship Level 2
    • Requires 25 points

Points Per Rarity

The amount of points you get depends on the rarity of the food you give to Sam.
