Chronological log of Garden Horizons updates, events, patches, and developer announcements
🔴 Admin Abuse + Update — Live Event (Trowel Confirmed!)
A major developer-run live event is scheduled for Sunday, March 1st at 6:30 AM EST. The official announcement reads: "Something on the island isn't right. Someone's been watching. Tune in to see it all go down LIVE." The Trowel has been confirmed for this update — move plants without destroying them!
Confirmed by developers during a live stream: the Trowel tool will be released alongside the Admin Abuse event on March 1st. The event will also feature something on the "new platform" (possibly a trial). A helicopter has been spotted circling the island — matching the I.G.N.A Transceiver message "COORDINATES RECEIVED, CONVOY INBOUND." The morse code radio is gone and a chair has been knocked over, suggesting the narrative is accelerating toward the event.

Helicopter Spotted — Convoy Inbound
A helicopter has been spotted circling on the island's horizon, confirming the I.G.N.A Transceiver Device message "COORDINATES RECEIVED, CONVOY INBOUND." The last morse code location now has a knocked-over chair and the radio is gone — the update is getting closer.
Players speculate the helicopter carries a Botanist or Scientist NPC who will land on the elevated platform. The lore is progressing rapidly toward the March 1st Admin Abuse event. The mystery deepens as items disappear and new clues appear across the island.

Morse Code Messages — Island Surveillance
Moving radio devices have been discovered emitting morse code messages. The decoded messages read: "Coordinates Received, Convoy Inbound" followed by "MESSAGE INTERCEPTED.. ISLAND SURVEILLANCE TO BEGIN EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY." A cassette tape with morse code was also found near the shop.
These lore elements are dynamic — the radio devices move to new locations daily. A screwdriver that was on a table at Molly's Gear Shop has disappeared, and new items (Purple Potion, Cassette Tape) have appeared in secret cave locations. This narrative is building toward the March 1st Admin Abuse event.

Multiple Secret Caves Discovered
Players have discovered several secret caves across the island: a cave on top of the mountain (containing a Purple Potion), a cave-like entrance near the bridge on Plot 3 (confirmed by developers as a future cave), two caves behind the Sell Plot, and a hidden tunnel underneath a morse code tape location.
