The Glass Kiwi is a mythical, multi-harvest, limited-edition crop introduced during the third expansion of the Halloween Event in Grow a Garden. It was awarded exclusively to players who participated in the mysterious and chaotic Glass Animals Admin Abuse event, a limited-time challenge inspired by the surreal aesthetics and themes of the Glass Animals universe.
As one of the rarest crops in the entire game, the Glass Kiwi holds a unique place in player collections, often symbolizing both prestige and mystery. Its unusual design, coupled with its reference to real-world music and lore, has made it one of the most discussed crops within the Grow a Garden community.
Appearance
The Glass Kiwi closely resembles an ordinary kiwi fruit in size and shape but possesses an unmistakable translucent, glass-like shell. Its skin shimmers faintly with reflective hues of green, brown, and silver, giving it an almost spectral quality under moonlight. A metal fork is permanently embedded in one side of the fruit, dripping faintly with a liquid that glows when viewed in the dark.
This design is a direct reference to Glass Animals’ conceptual artwork and the symbolism of fragility and absurdity often found in their music. The fork’s placement, slightly off-center, mirrors the imagery seen in the band’s promotional art and the animated sequences of their song “Vampire Bat.”
When fully grown, the Glass Kiwi plant sprouts thin, crystal-like vines that refract light into multicolored fragments, making it one of the most visually stunning crops in any garden. Harvesting it produces a soft chiming sound, similar to striking a wine glass, adding to its otherworldly charm.
Obtainment
The Glass Kiwi could only be obtained during the Glass Animals Admin Abuse event — a limited, one-time interactive experience held during the Halloween Event’s third expansion. Players were required to complete a series of music-themed puzzles and surreal in-game challenges designed around the motifs of Glass Animals’ discography.
Successful participants were rewarded with the Glass Kiwi seed, delivered directly into their inventories by game administrators. Since the conclusion of the event, no additional Glass Kiwi seeds have been distributed, and it remains unobtainable through normal gameplay or trading. This exclusivity has led to a high in-game value and a cult-like fascination among collectors.
Usage and Behavior
The Glass Kiwi is a multi-harvest crop, meaning players can reap its fruits multiple times before it withers. Each harvest yields between one and three kiwis, and occasionally, a “shattered” variant may appear — a rare form that glows brighter and sells for a higher market price.
Due to its delicate construction, the Glass Kiwi requires careful temperature and light control when grown. Overexposure to direct sunlight may cause the outer shell to crack, while underexposure leads to slowed regrowth. Players often use specialized greenhouse environments or magical soil enhancers to maintain its health.
Trivia
- In Glass Animals’ song “Vampire Bat,” a kiwi being repeatedly impaled by a fork appears as a recurring image. The Glass Kiwi crop is believed to be a direct homage to this surreal and darkly humorous visual.
- The Glass Kiwi is the fourth admin-distributed seed, following:
- Fruitball
- Snaparino Beanarini
- Frostspike
- Glass Kiwi
- The seed model for the Glass Kiwi is a modified version of the Veinpetal seed, recolored in shades of brown with the added fork feature.
- Although introduced on October 25th, 2025, it was not added to the Garden Guide until the following day — possibly due to internal delays or deliberate secrecy by the developers.
- When viewed in inventory, the item tooltip includes a faint, looping whisper of glass clinking — a subtle Easter egg referencing Glass Animals’ experimental sound design.
