The Flamebud is one of the newest and most exciting event-exclusive seeds in Grow a Garden, added as part of…
The Campfire Shovel is the newest cosmetic to drop in Grow a Garden, and it’s only the second shovel skin the game has ever added. Unlike a code or a shop purchase, you can’t just buy this one — it’s tied directly to how much of the Summer Camp Event you’ve finished. Here’s the fastest way to unlock it.

| Rarity | Mythical |

The Campfire Shovel doesn’t drop from a crate or a code. It’s a milestone reward for progressing through the Campfire Collection, a 22-item checklist tied to the Summer Camp Event. Hit 80% completion and the shovel becomes claimable from the Collection menu near the campfire — no need to finish all 22 items.
The Collection is split into three categories:
Since 80% is the threshold, you don’t need every single item — just roughly 18 of the 22. That’s a huge relief given some of these, like the 0.5%-drop Mallow Melt seed, are genuinely hard pulls.
If you’re still building up your pet roster for the grind, our Tree Frog pet guide covers a solid growth-boosting pick that speeds up crop cycles while you farm Ember.
Purely cosmetically, yes — it’s currently one of only two shovel skins in the game alongside the Rainbow Shovel from the King of the Hill event, so it’s an early flex for collectors. Functionally, it digs and removes plants exactly like the default shovel; there’s no speed boost or special ability attached.
The June 20 patch also added a shovel skin setting, letting you switch which skin your character shows off without needing to re-equip anything manually — a nice quality-of-life touch once you’ve unlocked the Campfire Shovel.
If cosmetics are your thing, this pairs well with other seasonal collectibles like the one covered in our Fall Fountain guide, which walks through another limited-time garden decoration.
No. It’s purely cosmetic and digs identically to the base shovel.
No — only 80% completion (roughly 18 of 22 items) unlocks the shovel.
No, it can only be earned through Collection progress, not purchased directly.
Once claimed, cosmetics from Grow a Garden events typically stay in your inventory permanently, though future acquisition may close off after the event.
