The Easter Part 3 update in Grow a Garden on Roblox has brought one of the most anticipated seeds in recent memory: the Waddling Willow. Introduced on April 18, 2026, this update brought several new plant seeds, pets, and cosmetics, along with two limited-time activities. If you have been wondering how to get your hands on the Waddling Willow Seed, this guide covers everything you need to know, from what the seed actually is to exactly how the Candy Packaging event works.
What Is the Waddling Willow Seed?
The Waddling Willow is a new, limited-time, Divine-tier seed in Grow a Garden. The harvested produce from this plant resembles a yellow rubber ducky placed on a yellow board with black eyes. According to the Grow a Garden Wiki, the seed has an average value of around 200,000, which makes it one of the more desirable drops from the current event cycle.

As a Divine-tier seed, the Waddling Willow sits at the top rarity level in the game. It offers high-value produce and supports multi-harvest, meaning the plant continues to produce fruit without needing to be replanted after each harvest. It will only stop growing if you remove it with the Shovel tool.
The Waddling Willow is a limited-time seed tied to the Easter Part 3 update. Once the event ends, there is a high chance it will not be obtainable again unless the developers reintroduce it. That makes getting it now a priority if you want to add it to your collection permanently.
How to Get the Waddling Willow Seed
The Waddling Willow can be obtained by reaching Stage 9 for the normal version or Stage 12 for the golden version of the Team Rewards from the Candy Packaging event. There is currently no other way to obtain this seed in the game, which means solo players cannot unlock it on their own. You will need to form a team.
Here is a quick breakdown of the two versions available:
- Normal Waddling Willow Seed – Unlocked at Team Reward Tier 9
- Golden Waddling Willow Seed – Unlocked at Team Reward Tier 12
The Candy Packaging event also features other exclusive rewards at various tiers, including the Candy Squirrel pet and additional seasonal items, so pushing toward the higher tiers is worth the effort regardless.
How the Candy Packaging Event Works
To obtain the Waddling Willow seed, you must invite your friends to create a team, contribute Easter produce to the packaging area, and progress through reward tiers. Here is how to get started and keep things moving efficiently.
Forming a Team

Head to the Candy Packaging area in the game. You will find empty pedestals or packaging platforms near the event NPC. Interact with these to invite friends and build your team. The team can consist of up to four players, meaning you and up to three friends. Note that once you are placed in a team, you cannot switch to a different one, so choose your teammates carefully.
Submitting Easter Produce
Once your team is assembled, the core loop is straightforward. Harvest fruits from your Easter garden and bring them to the packaging area for submission. You earn points based on the weight of the produce you submit. After submitting enough produce, the packaging process begins, and you must then wait 30 minutes before you can contribute toward the next tier.
You have two submission options at the packaging stand: submit individual fruits one at a time, or submit all of your Easter-type fruits in a single batch. Submitting all at once is the faster and more efficient option, especially when you are trying to reach the higher tiers before the event window closes.
Team Rewards vs. Solo Rewards

It is important to understand that the Candy Packaging event has two separate reward tracks. The solo rewards are accessible without a team and include items such as Eggfruit Seeds and Golden Eggs. However, the Waddling Willow Seed does not appear on the solo reward track at all. The team reward tiers unlock at the end of the week, so your team’s progress must be complete before that weekly cutoff. Plan accordingly and do not wait until the last day to start grinding.
Tips for Reaching Tier 9 and Tier 12
Getting to Tier 9 or Tier 12 of the team rewards takes consistent effort from every member of your group. Keep the following in mind:
- Prioritize heavier produce. Points scale with the weight of the fruits you submit, so heavier Easter-type crops are significantly more valuable for progression than lighter ones.
- Coordinate submission timing. Since there is a 30-minute cooldown between packaging rounds, you want everyone on the team to submit during the same window rather than staggering individually.
- Use your best fruits. Rather than holding onto high-value produce to sell for Sheckles, consider submitting your best Easter crops during the event. The Waddling Willow Seed more than compensates for the short-term currency loss.
- Stay active throughout the week. The easiest method to obtain this seed is teaming up with active players and consistently submitting high-weight Easter produce. Inactive teammates who do not contribute will slow your tier progression significantly.
Is It Worth Getting the Waddling Willow?
For most players, yes. The Waddling Willow is one of the standout seeds from the Easter Part 3 update. Its Divine rarity, multi-harvest mechanic, and high produce value make it a strong long-term addition to any garden. The event structure does demand coordination and patience, but the payoff is a seed that is not available anywhere else in the game outside of this event window.
This is a limited-time item with a realistic chance of never returning after the event concludes. If you have an active group of friends playing Grow a Garden right now, jumping into the Candy Packaging event together is the most reliable path to securing it before the opportunity disappears.
