Artichoke is an Uncommon crop that was introduced to Grow a Garden on August 2, 2025, as part of the Trading and Cooking Event Update. There is only one way to get it since it’s not purchasable with any currency, and you can’t craft it either. This short guide covers how to get an Artichoke and how to increase your chances of getting one.

SingleUncommonHow to Get Artichoke in Grow a Garden
The only way to get an Artichoke seed is as a reward from the pig chef, Chris P., during the Cooking Event. However, it’s only a chance that you’ll get this seed, so you may end up with one of many other rewards instead.
The best way to increase your chances of getting an Artichoke seed in Grow a Garden is to give Chris P. Rare meals. Which you can find recipes for in our Chris P. Bacon Cooking Recipes guide. The reason to give him Rare meals is because the Artichoke seed is a Rare reward. If you give him a Prismatic meal, you’re more likely to get better rewards, but not this seed.
Since the Artichoke is an event seed, you can’t rely on pets with special abilities to get them for you. Such as the Red Fox, which can duplicate certain seeds from other players’ gardens. Similarly, Dogs who can dig up random seeds won’t dig up event seeds.
