Overview
Trading is a core mechanic released in Cooking Update that enables players to transfer Pets, Crops, and
to other players in Grow A Garden. Players use Trading Ticket to trade items. The system supports up to 12 items per trading cycle and includes value estimation features to help players assess trade fairness. Players can hover over items to view their
value and crop weight, with a full trade value display shown above the Trading UI for both participants. How Trading Works
The trading process involves several security measures: When an item is added to the trade, a 5-second countdown begins. Both players must accept the trade, followed by a confirmation step to ensure fair exchange.
The system displays the total value of items from both players to help estimate trade fairness. However, players should remain cautious as items can still be removed before final confirmation, creating potential scam opportunities.

The update will maintain the existing gifting system alongside the improved trading mechanics.
Planned Updates
