How to Get Woodpecker in Grow a Garden

The Woodpecker is a rare and valuable pet introduced during the Fall Market Event update on September 20, 2025. It is one of four new pets added in the expansion and has quickly become a sought-after companion thanks to its unique farming ability.

This guide will explain everything you need to know about the Woodpecker—its appearance, traits, how to obtain it, and why it’s worth the investment.

The Woodpecker in Grow a Garden is designed to closely resemble its real-life counterpart. Its main features include:

  • A sleek, black body
  • A striking red crest on its head
  • Grey beak, feet, and wing tips

The realistic design makes it stand out compared to some of the more whimsical pets in the game, adding a natural touch to your garden.

Whether you are looking to boost your crop yields or simply expand your collection, the Woodpecker is a smart choice for any player during the Fall Festival. Its unique ability makes farming more rewarding, and its seasonal exclusivity adds long-term value to your garden. If you’re preparing for the event, save up your currency and check the shop often—you’ll be ready when the opportunity comes to buy Grow A Garden pets like the Woodpecker and beyond.

Unique Trait: Woodpecking

The Woodpecker’s defining ability is called Woodpecking.

  • It occasionally flies over to a Woody-type plant.
  • When it pecks at the plant, there is a chance that the fruit duplicates.
  • The rarer the crop, the lower the duplication chance.

This ability makes the Woodpecker particularly useful for players who grow high-value Woody crops, as it can passively increase your overall harvest without extra effort.

How to Get the Woodpecker

Obtaining the Woodpecker takes some preparation and currency management. Here are the exact steps:

  1. Trigger 15 Fall Blooms
    • Before the Woodpecker becomes available, you need to activate 15 Fall Blooms during the Fall Festival event. This ensures you’ve participated in the seasonal activities before unlocking the pet shop’s rarest creatures.
  2. Check Stock Availability
    • Once the requirement is met, head over to the Fall Pet Shop.
    • The Woodpecker is classified as a Rare pet, which means it has a decent chance of appearing in stock compared to Ultra-Rare or Legendary pets like the Red Panda or Space Squirrel.
  3. Purchase the Pet
    • If it’s in stock, you can buy the Woodpecker for:
      • 400,000,000 Sheckles (400 Million)
      • Or 309 Robux
    • While expensive for beginners, this price sits in the mid-range compared to other event pets.

Why Should You Get the Woodpecker?

The Woodpecker isn’t just for collectors—it has real utility in farming strategy:

  • Crop Yield Boost: Even a small duplication chance can make a big difference with rare Woody fruits.
  • Passive Farming: Unlike pets that require manual activation, the Woodpecker works automatically.
  • Affordable Mid-Range Choice: It’s not as costly as some Legendary pets, making it a solid investment for progressing players.
  • Seasonal Exclusive: Because it was released in a Fall Event, owning one also shows you participated in limited-time content.

Tips for Players

  • Save Early: Start building up Sheckles before the Fall Event begins so you’re ready to purchase when the Woodpecker appears in stock.
  • Check Often: Stock rotates, so visit the Fall Pet Shop regularly once you’ve unlocked it.
  • Pair with Woody Crops: To maximize benefits, plant plenty of Woody-type crops so the Woodpecker has more chances to activate its trait.
  • Consider Long-Term Value: Even if you move on to rarer pets later, the Woodpecker can remain useful for farming efficiency.

The Woodpecker is a rewarding pet for players who want both utility and collectibility in Grow a Garden. With its ability to duplicate Woody fruits, its striking appearance, and a reasonable (though still challenging) price, it stands out as one of the most practical Rare pets from the Fall Market Event.
