I’ll admit it: every time Gardening Partners shows up in Monopoly GO!, I get a little excited and a little exhausted. That’s because Partner Events are a true team effort. You can’t just brute-force your way through them alone. You need to collect a special token—Flowers for the Gardening Partners event—and trade those tokens for spins on the event wheel. Each spin adds points to a shared progress bar, and that progress decides which rewards you and your partner earn. Sounds simple, right? So why does it always feel like the bar barely moves? Well, that’s the catch. Collecting enough Flowers for free is totally possible, but you need to know where to look.
What Are Flowers?
In Monopoly GO!, every Partner Event uses its own themed token. For Gardening Partners, that token is the Flower. They don’t do anything magical on their own—they’re simply the currency you exchange for a chance to spin the partner event wheel. What makes them valuable is that you need a whole lot of them if you want to finish the entire event. I’ve seen the progress bar look like a bottomless pit, especially if you’re not coordinating with your partners.
So what are these Flowers really? Think of them as event fuel. Without them, you can’t spin, and without spinning, you can’t contribute points. If your partner is grinding and you’re sitting at zero, that’s not exactly great teamwork, is it?
How To Get Free Flowers
The good news is that you can absolutely get Flowers without spending real money. Most of the methods come from things you’d already be doing while playing Monopoly GO!. Here are the main free methods I rely on:
🎯 Land on Tiles with Flower Tokens
As you roll around the board, you’ll sometimes see a Flower token hovering above certain tiles. Land on that tile and you’ll collect it. This is the most obvious method, but it’s also the one that requires a bit of luck. Sometimes the flower tiles feel perfectly placed; other times they sit just out of reach.
✅ Complete Quick Wins
Quick Wins are daily missions that can reward you with Flowers during the event. I like this method because it gives you a reason to complete tasks you might otherwise skip. Check the list, finish a few simple objectives, and grab the event currency.
🎁 Open the Free Gift from the Store
The in-game store offers a free gift on a timer. During Gardening Partners, this free gift can contain Flowers. Set a reminder if you’re serious about maximizing your event progress. I’ve missed plenty of these by forgetting to check back, and in an event this grindy, every token counts.
🏆 Collect Milestone Rewards from Tournaments
Tournaments often run alongside Partner Events. By hitting milestones on the tournament leaderboard or progress track, you can earn Flowers as rewards. This is a nice two-for-one situation: you’re playing anyway, so why not double up on rewards?
🤝 Receive Partner Gifts
Don’t forget the social side of the event. Depending on how the Gardening Partners event is structured, you may receive gifts from your partners as they hit certain goals or complete actions. Work with reliable partners who actually contribute, because there’s nothing worse than carrying the whole team while someone else collects the same shared rewards.
How I Prioritize Flower Collection
| Method | Effort | Reliability |
|---|---|---|
| Flower tiles on board | Low | Luck-based |
| Quick Wins | Low | High |
| Free Gift from store | Very low | High |
| Tournament milestones | Medium | Moderate |
| Partner Gifts | Low | Depends on team |
If I had to pick two methods to focus on, I’d say Quick Wins and the free store gift—because they’re consistent and don’t require extra dice. But don’t sleep on tournaments. In 2026, Monopoly GO! frequently overlaps events, so a single session can reward you with tournament progress, event tokens, and sticker packs all at once.
Are Flowers Worth the Grind?
Honestly? It depends. If you enjoy the cooperative aspect of Partner Events and you have active partners, then yes, the grind can be worth it. The rewards usually include dice, cash, sticker packs, and sometimes exclusive cosmetics or emojis. But if your partners are inactive, even a pile of Flowers won’t save the event for you.
My advice: collect Flowers consistently, but don’t blow all your dice trying to chase them. Use your quick wins, open free gifts, watch for flower tiles, and always coordinate with your partners. Otherwise you’ll end up frustrated, spinning alone, and wondering why the progress bar is moving at a snail’s pace. And let’s be real—nobody wants to be the partner with zero points.
