If you have been spending any decent amount of time in Roblox's Grow A Garden 2, you know exactly how frustrating it is to accidentally misplace a plant. In the early stages of the game, making a layout mistake usually means grabbing your shovel and destroying the plant entirely—essentially throwing away your hard-earned progress and time just to fix a messy grid line.
Fortunately, there is a tool designed specifically to save you from this headache: the Trowel. Unlike the regular destructive shovel, the Trowel lets you redesign your layout easily without killing off your hard work. Here is a breakdown of how to track down this elusive tool, how much it costs, and how it works.
How to Find and Buy the Trowel
The Trowel isn't something you unlock automatically by leveling up; you have to keep an eye out for it at the market. You can purchase it directly from the Gear Shop, which is hard to miss thanks to its distinct green and white striped canopy. If you are standing in the main plaza hub area, look right between the Pet Egg Stall and the Cosmetic/Crafting Stall to find it.
Once you are at the shop counter, keep the following details in mind:
The Price Tag: Buying a Trowel will set you back 100,000 Sheckles (the in-game currency). If you happen to be short on Sheckles but have some premium currency to spare, you also have the option to purchase it using Robux.
Shop Rotation RNG: This is where you might need a little patience. The Trowel isn't always sitting on the shelf. It only has a 28% chance of stocking whenever the shop inventory rolls over. If you visit the green and white canopy and come up empty-handed, don't sweat it—you will just need to go grind some more crops and wait for the shop to refresh for another chance.
How the Trowel Works (and Its Catch)
Once you finally manage to snag one, using it is incredibly straightforward. Equipping the Trowel allows you to click or select any fully grown plant you have already placed down and safely pick it up to change its location. This makes it an absolute lifesaver for late-game players who want to optimize their layouts for maximum efficiency, group specific plants together, or just aesthetic design without resetting growth cycles.
However, there is a catch you need to watch out for: Limited Durability.
The Trowel has exactly 5 total uses before it breaks and completely disappears from your inventory. Because you only get 5 actions per purchase, you have to buy an entirely new one from the Gear Shop once it runs out—meaning you are back at the mercy of that 28% shop rotation chance.
Pro-Tip: Because of this strict durability limit, it is best to save your Trowel charges for your most valuable or slow-growing plants rather than using them carelessly on cheap crops. Plan out your new grid design on paper or in your head beforehand so you don't waste precious charges moving the same plant twice!
