The Cooking Fever 19.1.2 update arrived on the App Store a month ago, introducing an exciting new gardens feature. This immersive time-management cooking game allows you to flaunt your culinary skills in various restaurants using diverse ingredients.
In this recent update, players can now grow their own flowers and fruit. To start this gardening journey, essential seeds can be earned by successfully completing levels in any of the restaurants. If you’re curious about how the garden feature works, continue reading this guide for more details.
Obtaining Seeds
To begin your gardening journey, the first step is acquiring seeds. Seeds come in three different tiers: common, rare, and epic. The rarer the seeds you obtain, the better the rewards.
To make things easy, here’s a breakdown of the benefits of each seed, how long it takes to grow, and what reward you get based on its rarity.
| Seed | Common | Rare | Epic | Growth Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Banana | Gain 1000 Coins | Gain 4000 Coins | Gain 10,000 Coins | 3 Days |
| Lychee | Gain 5 Gems | Gain 15 Gems | Gain 70 Gems | 3 Days |
| Pineapple | Gain 3 Casino Tickets | Gain 7 Casino Tickets | Gain 20 Casino Tickets | 3 Days |
| Dragon Fruit | Gain 1 Random Booster | Gain 2 Random Boosters | Gain 5 Random Boosters | 3 Days |
| Bellflower | +5% Level Earnings | +10% Level Earnings | +25% Level Earnings | 3 Days |
| Lily | +4% Dish Prices | +7% Dish Prices | +15% Dish Prices | 3 Days |
| White Blossom | +3% Waiting Time | +6% Waiting Time | +15% Waiting Time | 3 Days |
| Chinese Rose | +7% Level Tips | +10% Level Tips | +40% Level Tips | 3 Days |
Tool Upgrades
Plants can be harmed by weeds and dry soil, but there’s a solution—upgrade your tools to avoid withering. Right now, you can improve the garden shears and watering can to combat the effects of weeds and dry soil.
Both these tools come with automated system timers, which you can rent for 50 gems, offering 80 hours of continuous operation. This is convenient if you’d rather not log into the game manually to take care of your plants.
Fertilizing Flowers & Fruit
You can prolong a flower’s lifespan by 5 hours with fertilizer. Additionally, it shortens the time needed for a fruit to grow by 5 hours, helping you reduce waiting times and harvest more often.
If you want to enhance waiting times further, you can choose to buy golden fertilizer from the store using real money. However, this is entirely optional.
Garden Quests
Finishing garden quests not only earns you XP but also gift packages. Here’s a list of the current garden quests available for completion.
Though these quests might require some time and effort to complete, the rewards are undoubtedly worth the grind if you’re willing to put in the work.

The Cooking Fever garden feature adds valuable bonuses to enhance your cooking journey, particularly beneficial for challenging missions where that extra support comes in handy.
Although grinding quests and waiting for seeds to grow can take some time, regular players can find this feature highly useful. It can make levels easier and offer more currency for kitchen upgrades.
