It started on {{date|21|December|2021}} after being announced the day before,{{cite web|https://twitter.com/PikminBloom/status/1472808992120389633|Tweet by Pikmin Bloom|Twitter|published={{date|20|December|2021}}|retrieved={{date|21|December|2021}}}} and finished on {{date|11|January|2022}}.

A special {{w|St. Patrick's Day}} event occurred between {{date|17|March}} and {{date|20|March|2022}}. It was themed around four-leaf clovers, traditional symbols of luck.

During the event period, players could find specially-marked Huge Seedlings in unvisited areas, similar to the [[#2022 Lunar New Year Decor Pikmin|Lunar New Year]] event. Only one specially-marked Huge Seedling could be held in seedling storage at a time. These special Pikmin had a much higher chance of gaining the recently added Four-Leaf Clover [[Decor Pikmin|decor]] instead of the standard Clover decor for Park-attribute Pikmin, at an estimated 50% chance.{{cite web|https://pikminbloom.com/en/news/0416/|News post|the Pikmin Bloom website|published={{date|15|March|2022}}|retrieved={{date|16|March|2022}}}}

During the event period, players could find specially-marked Huge Seedlings in previously unvisited areas, similar to the [[#St. Patrick's Day Decor Pikmin|St. Patrick's Day]] event.

*Completing a [[weekly challenge]] would give a new Gold Seedling. After walking 100 steps, it could be plucked to give a Pikmin with new chess piece Decor.

*Both a Gold Seedling and a special Huge Seedling could be held in seedling storage or the Planter Pack at the same time, but only one special Huge Seedling could be in these places at a time.
