In Grow a Garden, one accidental tap can mean saying goodbye to your rarest harvest. Whether you’re holding onto a Celestial fruit or a funny mutation you love, the favorite system is your best defense against slip-ups.
Here’s how to use it to keep your crops safe—whether they’re in your inventory or still growing in your garden.
⭐ What Does Favoriting Do?
When you favorite a fruit or crop, it gets marked with a small heart icon and becomes protected:
| Favorite Location | What It Prevents | Still At Risk Of |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory | Can’t be sold (even via “Sell My Inventory”) | Can still be traded or dropped |
| Garden | Can’t be manually collected | Can still be stolen by other players |
This means you can safely mass-sell your inventory without losing something important—and decorate your garden with rare fruits without accidentally picking them.
💖 How to Favorite or Unfavorite Fruits in Your Inventory
The method varies slightly depending on your device, but it’s super easy on all platforms:
-
PC: Right-click the item
-
Mobile: Double-tap the item
-
PlayStation: Press L2
-
Xbox: Press LT
Once favorited, you’ll see a heart icon next to the fruit. To unfavorite, just do the same action again.

🧠 Why You Should Use It
If you’ve ever sold a rare mutation by mistake (looking at you, Disco Melon), you already know how painful it can be. Favoriting helps you:
-
Protect rare or mutated fruits
-
Prepare for trades or future quests
-
Avoid mistakes when selling in bulk
-
Show off cool harvests in your garden without fear
That’s everything you need to master fruit favoriting in Grow a Garden. Whether you’re hoarding Celestials or just want to keep your goofy Potato Stack safe, this tool has your back.
