To get more Soil in Palia, reach Gardening Level 2, then buy additional plots from Badruu’s Gardening Guild Store with Gold. Complete Badruu’s Gardening 101 quest first to receive your initial two Soil plots. The community-maintained Official Palia Wiki reports a cap of nine plots per player.
How to unlock and buy more Soil
- Complete Gardening 101. Speak with Badruu and finish his quest to receive your first two Soil plots. The Official Palia Wiki lists the reward; the official Palia Almanac also identifies Badruu as a source of starter soil and gardening items.
- Reach Gardening Level 2. The wiki lists this as the requirement for purchasing additional plots.
- Visit Badruu’s Gardening Guild Store. Buy the next available Soil plot with Gold. Prices listed by the wiki, checked October 8, 2026, are:
| Plot number | Price |
|---|---|
| 3 | 200 Gold |
| 4 | 250 Gold |
| 5 | 300 Gold |
| 6 | 350 Gold |
| 7 | 400 Gold |
| 8 | 450 Gold |
| 9 | 500 Gold |
These exact prices and the nine-plot maximum are wiki-reported game mechanics, not figures specified in a first-party price list. The official May 21, 2024 developer update for patch 0.180 confirms that Gardening Plot purchase costs were reduced, but does not give the current individual prices. For a price guarantee, check Badruu’s store in game.
How much garden space does that give you?
Each Soil plot is a 3×3 area. At the wiki-reported maximum of nine plots, that is 81 single-tile positions before accounting for crops that occupy multiple positions. Soil is placed on your home plot; adjacent plots can form a larger garden, and the Soil must be tilled before planting. See the Official Palia Wiki’s Gardening page for those placement and use details.
Want decoration rather than more crop space?
The Gardening Guild Store also sells decorative crops that can be placed without using gardening plot space, according to the official patch 0.197 notes. They are decorative items, not additional functional Soil or planting tiles.
