🌱 Grow a Garden Calculator

Work out what any crop is worth in Sheckles — from its base value, weight, growth mutation and every environmental mutation stacked on it.

What this calculator does

This is the full Grow a Garden value calculator: pick a crop preset (or enter a base value and base weight yourself), set your crop’s actual weight, choose its growth mutation, and tick every environmental mutation on it. The calculator applies the community value formula and returns the Sheckle value, with the intermediate numbers shown so you can see exactly how the total is built.

It exists because pricing by eye goes wrong in both directions: weight scales value by the square of the ratio, and environmental mutations add together before multiplying — two things that are easy to misjudge in a trade window.

How to use it

Choose a crop preset, or type the base value and base weight from the in-game shop.
Enter your crop’s weight in kilograms.
Pick the growth mutation (Silver, Gold, Diamond or Rainbow) if it has one.
Tick every environmental mutation on the crop — the search box filters the full list.

The formula

value = base × (weight ÷ base weight)² × growth × (1 + Σ(each environmental − 1))

A worked example

Take the opening preset: base value 18 Sheckles at a base weight of 0.24 kg. A crop weighing 0.48 kg — double the base — is worth 72 Sheckles before mutations, because the weight ratio is squared (2² = 4). Add a Gold growth mutation (×20) and that same crop becomes 1,440; stack a ×3 environmental on top and the multiplier grows again. Change any field and every figure updates as you type.

Keep the numbers honest

Game values move with updates and events. The presets and multipliers here follow the community-tracked figures, but the in-game shop is always the source of truth for base values — when a price looks off, check it in-game and enter the base numbers manually. This is an independent, fan-made tool, not an official one.

Frequently asked questions

Why does weight matter so much?

Because the weight ratio is squared in the value formula. A crop at double its base weight is worth four times the base value, and at triple weight nine times — weight is usually the biggest single factor.

Do environmental mutations multiply together?

Not directly — their bonuses add first. Each mutation contributes (multiplier − 1), the sum is added to 1, and that total multiplies the value once. Two ×3 mutations give ×5, not ×9.

Are these the current in-game values?

They follow the community-tracked formula and multipliers, which change with game updates. Verify base values in the in-game shop for anything important — this is a fan-made estimate, not an official price.
