Who is making Grow a Garden 2?

The Roblox listing for Grow a Garden 2 credits the developer as Strawberreh Squad. The game's official website (gag.gg) links to the Roblox group "Is This Fun to Make" (group ID 432538536). The game's Roblox universe ID is 10200395747; its place ID is 97598239454123.

These four facts — the developer credit, the group, the universe ID, the place ID — are the verified ground-truth. They are pulled directly from the Roblox platform at the time of writing and can be re-verified by anyone with a Roblox account.

What the listing does nottell you is who, in human-personnel terms, works at Strawberreh Squad. Roblox developer credits are studio names, not rosters. The group "Is This Fun to Make" (note the wry, Gen-Z cadence of the name) does not have a public member list, and Roblox groups routinely include collaborators, moderators, and inactive accounts alongside the actual development team.

So when we say "Strawberreh Squad makes Grow a Garden 2," we are saying something narrow and precise: that is the name on the Roblox listing. We are not saying anything about who is in the studio, how many people work there, or how they relate to other Roblox studios. Those questions — the deeper layer — are what the rest of this piece is about.

The original Grow a Garden was created in March 2025 by BMWLux, reportedly in three days. In April 2025 it was acquired and scaled by Jandel (Janzen Madsen) under Splitting Point Studios, the New Zealand Roblox developer group he founded. (We cover this in detail in "Original game".) Through 2025 and into early 2026, the game grew into a multi-billion-visit phenomenon under Jandel's stewardship.

In early 2026 — placed by a February 14, 2026 GameSpot piece — Jandel and collaborator DJ Jhailatte left the original Grow a Garden's development team. A developer going by Adrian took over day-to-day development of the original under Splitting Point Studios. The original game continues to be actively maintained as of June 2026, with very high concurrent user counts reported.

What happened next is what makes the GAG2 developer question interesting. Multiple outlets — BloxInformer (May 2026), GameSpot, Bloxb, Durbin Rock — reported that Jandel was working on a sequel. On June 7, 2026, the official @GrowaGardenRblxX account retweeted GAG2 content from Jandel's public X account. On June 12, 2026, GAG2 launched on Roblox.

Crucially, the Roblox listing at launch did not credit Splitting Point Studios as the developer. It credited Strawberreh Squad, under a new group called "Is This Fun to Make." This is the verified fact that anchors everything else.

The reasonable inference — supported by but not directly stated in the outlet coverage — is that Strawberreh Squad is a new studio entity, possibly involving Jandel, that is legally and operationally separate from Splitting Point Studios. We mark the "possibly involving Jandel" part Likelybecause it is strongly implied by the outlet coverage but not officially confirmed by the developer. The "legally and operationally separate" part is Verified, because the Roblox listing says so.

We do not have an on-record development philosophy from Strawberreh Squad. What we have is the launch state of Grow a Garden 2, which lets us infer a few things.

First, the studio respects the original's formula. The squared-weight rule, the variant-vs-weather mutation stacking, the daily seed-shop rotation, the offline-growth rule — all carried over unchanged. A studio that wanted to put its own stamp on the sequel would have changed at least one of these. Strawberreh Squad changed none of them.

Second, the studio is willing to ship early. The not-yet-obtainable crate inventory, the still-being-verified mutation multipliers, the limited-time OG badge closing one week after launch — these read as a studio that prioritized getting the game out over getting every system polished. That is a defensible choice (the audience was ready; the formula was proven), but it does mean the game is, in some respects, still in soft launch.

Third, the studio is monetizing aggressively.Three Robux-denominated seed packs, Robux-priced gears (Super Sprinkler at 399 R$, Freeze Ray at 749 R$, Rainbow Carpet at 599 R$), and Robux-priced crates (Weather Machine at 799 R$) — these are not subtle. None of this is required to play, but the acceleration path is clearly marked. This is consistent with the original Grow a Garden's monetization pattern under Splitting Point, which suggests at minimum a shared design language and at most shared personnel.

We mark this section Likely because all of it is inferred from the launch state, not from on-record developer commentary. If Strawberreh Squad publishes a development philosophy piece, we will update this.

Some fan material about Grow a Garden 2 uses the phrase "Creator Verified". It is worth being precise about what this does and does not mean.

What it usually means:that the sequel is in some sense acknowledged by, or developed by people adjacent to, the creator of the original. In GAG2's case, the outlet coverage strongly implies that Jandel — the developer who scaled the original Grow a Garden under Splitting Point Studios — is involved in some capacity. If true, that would make "Creator Verified" a defensible description of the lineage.

What it does NOT mean:that the game is "officially endorsed by Roblox Corporation." Roblox is a platform; it does not approve or disapprove individual game sequels in the way a console platform holder might. Roblox Corporation is the corporate publisher of record for everything on the platform, but that is a statement about Roblox's role, not about any individual game's "officialness."

What it does NOT mean, part two:that the "Creator" in question is BMWLux, the original original creator. BMWLux created the prototype in March 2025; Jandel acquired and scaled it in April 2025. The outlet coverage places BMWLux out of the picture well before GAG2 entered development. So "Creator Verified" in the GAG2 context, if it means anything, means "verified by Jandel" — not "verified by BMWLux."

Why does this matter? Because the word "official" gets thrown around loosely in Roblox fan material, and "Creator Verified" can sound more authoritative than it is. Grow a Garden 2 is a real game, made by a real studio (Strawberreh Squad), published on a real platform (Roblox). It is not"the official sequel" in any sense that other Roblox sequels are not also "official." The lineage is interesting and worth tracking; it does not confer any special status.
