[Rainbowfox Ari]

The Pumpkin Patch heads into the garden, and finds a HUGE, well-manicured place. Hedges grow in neat rows all up and down about an acre's worth of land. There is nobody near by - but there are several statues arranged high up on marble pillars. A phoenix, a winged horse, a lion with a man's head, a pretty lady with wings, two swans facing each other, and a deer-like creature with four horns and a long tail. All of the statues are done in gold [or gold-leaf], and surround a central square with a large fountain.

Nearby, in another part of the garden, they can glimpse a large, gnarled, withered old tree with what looks like a hint of silver in its branches. On the other side of the garden, there is a quiet area for contemplation, with a rather risque statue of two very naked men in a passionate embrace beside a pillar upon which rests a silver eagle.
