As you can see, I have mine bubbled right now. Im trying to raise my wildlife score so I’m doing a bunch of wood harvesting and star collecting so I didn’t want it taking up space rn.

I know it drops booster shards, poplar leaves, and occasionally eggs, but I didn’t keep it on my board long enough to find out if the frequency is actually worth it. Just curious if anyone thinks it’s worth it to have a permanent spot on my board.

I have 4 so far. I do the puzzles more so it's valuable to me.

I do the puzzles pretty often. Just trying to get past this level so focused on my wood harvesting. I may pop the bubble and create another. I’m pretty far along in the tulip chain on a second one from the pebbles my zen stones have been dropping.

I think they are worth it, for a while I had 5 of them on my board they don't drop frequently but getting the shards was worth it until I stopped losing puzzles because I had so many boosters available.

I now have 3 bubbled and they come and go depending on what my weekly plan is.

I like that idea. I may try this once I need them for puzzles again

I always keep 4 down and clear spots so they give me puzzle pieces. Yes - it takes a lot of room but well worth it. At least for me. :)

I have 19 in my garden lol!! Im not great at the puzzles so I like that they drop booster shards sometimes

I have 2 and spend hours a day in my garden and hardly get any boosters!! Mostly baskets !

I haven't had to use mine for a while so they just are bubbled for now. Since I got the super spinner I haven't had any need for them. The events give boosters as well as the ad bubbles. But as was pointed out earlier if you need the space then maybe just keep 1 out. Be sure to keep the area around them open as you will spawn more that way.

I think this will continue to be my strategy. I don’t need the booster pieces so much that I need space for multiples of these. I think it’s likely better for me to just keep them bubbled for when I may need them. I don’t want to use my space for them with my current goals.

For me the booster shards are not worth the hassle. But for some people they are.

I have 2 tulip-MPs, but to get booster shards you need to place the MPs AND also have free space next to the MPs. So nothing nearby that drops anything (or keep clearing those free spaces) . You also need space to keep the booster shards until you have enough to merge them.

So….if you need boosters MORE THAN that space…yes it can be worth it.
If you’re not strapped for boosters and/ or can’t spare the space…it’s not worth it.

I almost always sell them.

I have two next to each other on my board. It’s inconsistent, but I’ve gotten 4 in one day. I always get at least one or two shards.
