Hey Garden Guardians! 🌱💚

The content update you’ve been waiting for is here! Just as Crazy Dave craves a good taco after a long nap, we know you’ve been hungry for new content. Content Update 2 (CU2) is here to help satiate your appetite with a bunch of new levels, a new plant pass with new rewards, and even more bug fixes.

What’s Sprouting in CU2?

Cold Slaw Plant Pass! ❄️

Just in time to beat the heat in Neighborville, our newest plant pass adds Cold Slaw back into the mix! Created by merging an Iceberg Lettuce with a Cabbage-pult, this chill guy just wants everyone to take it slow. By lobbing frozen cabbages at them. Which is certainly an interesting approach, but who are we to argue with him? The Cold Slaw Plant Pass goes live on July 8th!

Fresh Off The Press… 📖

This update also brings Issue #4, continuing the story and adding bunch of new levels across multiple modes:

• +25 Adventure levels
• +5 Volcano Expedition levels (Available July 15 at 10AM PT)
• 20 Lawn Patrol levels

This time we’re introducing the Nacho-naut Imp as the featured Zombie in the new Plant Pass. These Imps decided they didn’t want to wait on the backs of Gargantuars, so they took matters into their own hands. By strapping a jetpack filled with queso, they propel themselves to heights they’d never experienced before. The cost for queso adds up, so they are happily willing to add an #ad to their contraption for the right sponsor. If you see them fly in, get your lobbers ready along with some nachos, so you can enjoy a nice cheesy snack later.
