Seed Shop & Gear Store

Garden Horizons Shop Guide — Complete Seed & Gear Price List

In Garden Horizons, the in-game economy revolves around two shops run by NPCs: Bill's Seed Shop and Molly's Gear Store. Both shops rotate their inventory every 5 minutes on the dot. Each rotation offers a random selection of items drawn from the full pool, so not every seed or gear piece is available at all times. The tables above list every item that can appear in either shop, along with its rarity tier and exact Shilling price. Bookmark this page as your go-to reference before heading into the game — knowing what each seed costs and what gear is worth saving for will save you hours of guesswork.

The shop system in Garden Horizons is designed to keep the economy dynamic. Because the rotation is random, rare seeds like Cherry or Olive may not show up for several cycles in a row. Patience is part of the strategy. Many experienced players keep a mental checklist of which seeds they still need and check Bill's shop at the start of every session. If you see a Legendary seed in stock and you have the Shillings, buy it immediately — there is no guarantee it will appear again soon.

Bill's Seed Shop — How It Works

Bill is the seed merchant NPC located near the garden entrance. His shop stocks a random subset of all available seeds every 5 minutes. Seeds are the core resource in Garden Horizons — you plant them, grow them through three ripening stages (Unripe, Ripened, and Lush), and sell the harvested crops at the market for Shillings. The seed you choose determines the base sell value of the crop, its growth speed, and whether it is single-harvest or multi-harvest.

Seed prices in Garden Horizons range from just 20 Shillings for a Carrot seed all the way up to 1,000,000 Shillings for a Cherry seed. The price generally correlates with the crop's base sell value and rarity. Common seeds like Carrot (20 $) and Corn (100 $) are cheap and fast-growing, making them ideal for new players who need quick cash flow. Uncommon seeds such as Onion (200 $), Strawberry (800 $), and Mushroom (1,500 $) offer a step up in profitability without breaking the bank.

Rare seeds — Beetroot (2,500 $), Tomato (4,000 $), Apple (7,000 $), and Rose (10,000 $) — represent the mid-game sweet spot. They cost more upfront but produce crops with significantly higher Lush sell values, especially when combined with mutations and color variants. A Gold Rose at Lush with Starstruck can generate tens of thousands of Shillings from a single harvest.

Epic seeds — Wheat (12,000 $), Banana (30,000 $), Plum (60,000 $), and Potato (100,000 $) — are serious investments. These crops have high base values and scale dramatically with weight, mutations, and the Gold variant. Potato in particular is a fan favourite for late-game farming because of its exceptional value ceiling when all multipliers align. Check the Potato guide for the full breakdown.

Legendary seeds sit at the top of the price chart. Cabbage costs 150,000 $, Olive costs 500,000 $, and Cherry — the most expensive seed in the entire game — costs a staggering 1,000,000 Shillings. These seeds are not for casual planting. They are end-game purchases that require careful planning. A single Gold Cherry at Lush with dual mutations can sell for millions of Shillings, but the upfront cost means you need a solid income stream before you can afford to plant them regularly.

Molly's Gear Store — Tools & Equipment

Molly is the gear merchant NPC who sells tools and equipment. Unlike seeds, gear items are permanent purchases — you buy them once and keep them forever. Gear does not rotate out of your inventory, so every purchase is a lasting upgrade to your farming operation. The gear shop restocks on the same 5-minute cycle as Bill's seed shop.

The most important early-game purchase is the Watering Can (5,000 $). Without it, you are stuck manually watering each plot, which is slow and tedious. The Basic Sprinkler (15,000 $) is the next priority — it automates watering for a small area around it, freeing you up to focus on planting and harvesting. As you progress, the Turbo Sprinkler (60,000 $) and Super Sprinkler (100,000 $) cover larger areas and water faster, making them essential for scaling your farm to dozens of plots.

The Shovel (25,000 $) lets you dig up and relocate plants, which is useful for reorganizing your garden layout. The Harvesting Bell (35,000 $) is a quality-of-life tool that harvests all ready crops in a radius, saving you from clicking each one individually. The Favoriting Tool (80,000 $) lets you mark specific crops so they stand out visually — handy when you are tracking Gold variants or mutation targets across a large farm. For a deep dive into each tool's mechanics and the optimal buy order, see the Gear & Tools guide.

Best Seeds to Buy First in Garden Horizons

If you are just starting out, focus on Common and Uncommon seeds. Carrot and Corn are your bread and butter — they grow fast, cost almost nothing, and teach you the core loop of planting, waiting for Lush, and selling. Once you have a few thousand Shillings saved up, move to Onion and Strawberry for better returns per harvest cycle.

The mid-game transition happens around 10,000–50,000 Shillings in savings. At this point, Rare seeds like Tomato and Apple become affordable and offer a meaningful jump in profit. Pair them with sprinklers to automate watering and you will start generating passive income while you explore other parts of the game.

Late-game players with hundreds of thousands of Shillings should target Epic and Legendary seeds. The ROI on a single Potato or Cherry harvest — especially during favourable weather events — can fund your next several planting cycles. The key is timing: plant expensive seeds right before a Starfall or other high-value weather event to maximize mutation chances.

Shop Rotation Tips & Strategies

The 5-minute rotation cycle means the shop refreshes 12 times per hour and 288 times per day. If you are hunting for a specific seed, the odds are in your favour over a longer session. Many players open the game, check Bill's stock, and if the seed they want is not there, they tend to their existing crops and check again after the next rotation. This rhythm of check-plant-harvest-check becomes second nature after a few sessions.

One common mistake new players make is spending all their Shillings on the most expensive seed they can afford. This leaves no buffer for replanting if the crop fails or if a better opportunity appears in the next rotation. A good rule of thumb is to keep at least 3x the seed cost in reserve so you can replant immediately after harvesting. For example, if you are planting Potato (100,000 $), try to have at least 300,000 $ in your wallet before committing.

Another strategy is to diversify your garden. Instead of planting all plots with the same seed, mix high-value slow-growers with cheap fast-growers. This way you always have something ready to harvest and sell, keeping your cash flow steady while your expensive crops mature. Use the Garden Horizons Calculator to compare the expected return per minute for different seeds and find the optimal mix for your current budget.
