Overview
The Prehistoric Event was an event introduced in Version 1.13.0 of Grow a Garden.
Mechanics
DNA Machine
At the back of the event island, there is a machine which mutates any Pet except dinosaurs into dinosaur eggs.
Pets that are inserted into the machine will be mutated for 1 hour, before being converted into 1-6 dinosaur eggs. It also has a small chance to be converted into a dinosaur instead. The rarer the dinosaur, the lower the chance.

Trivia
• This event was requested by fans on socials.
• During one of his admins events, Jandel said that there will be a better plant than the Candy Blossom, foreshadowing the Bone Blossom.
• This event was released close to the release date of Jurassic World Rebirth.
• This update included the first ever 'aging' mutation known as the Amber. The amber mutation turns into old amber and then ancient amber with time, increasing the fruit value.
• The NPCs are possibly a Jurassic World reference as they are named "Blaire" which is similar to "Claire" and "Graham" which is similar to "Alan Grant".
• The first upgrade on the DNA Machine takes away 12 minutes, and the second takes 24, taking away a total of 36 minutes, leaving players to only wait for 24 minutes for the DNA Machine to produce eggs.
• With the introduction of Bonus Quests as a second part of the Pre-Historic Event, it is entirely possible to complete the entire questline using only Bonus Quests—since they have no cooldown, unlike regular quests, which reset every 12 hours. This allows players to earn significantly more Bone Blossoms.
• The rarest pet that could be obtained in this event is between the T-Rex and the Spinosaurus with a 0.5% chance.
