When Do You Unlock Zen Garden

Download Article

Plant vs. Zombies is a fun and challenging game, but to many people, this game is a little too tricky. Eventually you'll get the key to your Zen Garden, where your pet plants go. They have little purpose on the gameplay levels, but the Zen Garden is a good way to earn coins to buy new plants or minigames. All the plants in the Zen Garden give you coins and sometimes even diamonds (1000 coins value) as you tend them. More plants mean more money. You can buy up to 3 Marigold sprouts a day from Crazy Dave or you can find them for free during game play.

1
Get plant seeds. It doesn't matter whether you play on adventure mode to get some or buy some from Crazy Dave.
- You can get free plants by playing the mini games or adventure. They are dropped by zombies the same way coins or diamonds are.
2

Prepare for your garden. Buy some fertilizer and bug spray. Eventually you can buy different garden areas if you have some aquatic or nighttime plants. Be aware that other garden plots cost quite a bit of coins, and it's better to only buy another plot if you have more than one plant for the area.

Play in every terrain to get the most unusual plants for your garden. If you want to get a mushroom plant, for example, play a night level.
- The plants that are easiest to get are land plants, since the majority of the game takes place on levels with land. Water plants are found only in pool levels, night plants at night, and those used on the roof are in roof levels.

Try every plant your lawn has two rows of. Sometimes instead of a money award, you will get a gift box containing a pot with a sprout in it. Be sure to click on it when it shows up!.
5

Go directly to your garden and keep watering it. Put fertilizer on the sprouts when they ask for it and it will grow to a young plant. These are Marigolds bought from Crazy Dave.

Question

How can I grow my tree of wisdom if fertilizer isn't working?

You need to buy tree food from Crazy Dave's shop.
Question

Can I get cattails into the zen garden? I really want one!

I'm sorry, but you can't - only adventure mode plants. You cannot get any plants from Crazy Dave's shop in your zen garden.
Question

I don't get number 4: "Try every plant your lawn has two rows of" for getting Zen Garden plants. How do I "try" a plant?

It just means to put two of the same plant in a row in different columns to increase your chances of getting a present with a sprout in it.
Question

Why can't I get a zen garden on Xbox One?

There is no zen garden in Garden Warfare, it is just on the tablet/phone versions of the game.

Play Survival Endless the most for chances at all plant types, including Night, Pool, Fog, and Roof plants.
Be patient when watering a plant.
You might get a plant you already have, and if that is the case, you can sell it for coins.
If you don't have enough room to plant any more plants, you can leave a plant in the wheelbarrow. It won't give coins while it is in there, but that will free up a space. Wheelbarrows can be bought for coins in Crazy Dave's shop.
In order to get any new plant, there must be an open spot in your main garden. Move your mushrooms and water plants to their own garden when you can buy it from Crazy Dave.
