This event was announced on September 4^th, 2022.

List of missions

1. Plant 1,000 white flowers
2. Pluck 2 seedlings
3. Defeat 3 mushrooms
4. Plant 5,000 white flowers
5. Walk 15,000 steps
6. Pluck 3 seedlings
7. Defeat 1 red mushroom
8. Plant 5,000 red flowers
9. Walk 20,000 steps
10. Pluck 4 seedlings
11. Defeat 1 yellow mushroom
12. Plant 5,000 yellow flowers
13. Walk 25,000 steps
14. Pluck 5 seedlings
15. Defeat 1 blue mushroom
16. Plant 5,000 blue flowers
17. Walk 30,000 steps
18. Pluck 6 seedlings
19. Defeat 3 mushrooms
20. Plant 10,000 flowers

There were some complications with the first mission. Initially it was to walk 10,000 steps, but no steps were counting towards it. After a few hours, it was changed to "Plant 1,000 white flowers" for people who hadn't opened the app yet, and a few hours later, people who had started the mission when it wasn't working had it automatically completed even if they hadn't walked 10,000 steps yet.

To note is that missions referring to a specific color of flowers actually counted all flower types of that color, not just the basic type. For example, planting white spider lily flowers or white rose flowers would count towards missions requiring the planting of white flowers.
