Grow a Garden Summer Part 4 Guide
A fast route through the Summer Finale: Pirate Quests, Summer Collection, Tide Tokens, Shelldon upgrades, plants, pets, rewards, and tools.
Direct answer
Summer Part 4 is the finale week of the 2026 summer run, scheduled from July 25, 2026 to August 1, 2026. It layers Pirate Quests, Summer Collection progress, Tide Token shop decisions, Shelldon upgrades, and new summer item goals onto the existing beach event loop.
If you only have a short session, start with Pirate Quests, then decide whether your next Tide Tokens should go toward plants, pets, tools, or collection progress.
What changed in Part 4
- Pirate Quests give players three event-task slots with different effort levels.
- The Summer Collection groups seeds, pets, and cosmetics into a progress checklist.
- The Tide Token Shop expands the spending decision beyond one obvious item.
- Shelldon upgrades connect Diver Dima, tidal fruit, and shorter trading downtime.
- The event adds more summer plants, pets, rewards, and quality-of-life changes.
