Shop

The in-game shops are where you can trade in your piñata for currency to buy bigger and better things for your garden including seeds and plants. You can also buy costumes and accessories for your pinata, upgrade your tools, hire helpers for your garden, or even buy pets, such as cats or dogs.

You’ll be able to buy new objects both with your chocolate coins in game, and also with Microsoft Points in the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Shops include Arfur's Inn, Bart's Exchange, Doc Patchingo, Costolot's General Store, Gretchen Fetchem's, Ivor Bargain, Miss Petula's Paper Pets, Fanny Franker's Post Office, and Willy Builder's.

Arfur's Inn

Helpers are available for hire at Arfur's Inn. You can hire up to five helpers to assist you in your garden. If you need more help with one specific task, such as weeding, you can hire multiple Weedlings, and even rename them (which unlocks an achievement).

Bart's Exchange

The tinkerer at Bart's Exchange can transform one item into another for you. Bart can also upgrade your tools when your gardener level is high enough to unlock new tool upgrades.

Doc Patchingo

Doc Patchingo is the village pinata doctor, on call 24 hours a day. After visiting his shop once, you will be able to call Doc to your garden by selecting a sick pinata and pressing the A button.

Costolot's General Store

Costolot's General Store sells seeds, produce, fertilizer, candy, fencing, and other important items for your garden.

Gretchen Fetchem

Gretchen is a hunter that can track down lost strays, or fetch a wild version of any species that you have seen before. So even if you have lost (or traded away) all pinatas of a particular species, you can still get another by paying the hunter to fetch it for you.

Miss Petula's Paper Pets

Miss Petula sells accessories for your pinata as well as domestic pinatas such as cats, dogs, and chickens.

Willy Builder

Willy is available to build new houses for your pinata residents, or other structures, such as the Shearing shed.
