The Botanical Gardens are a sprawling, walled oasis of exotic flora, tiered fountains, and winding gravel paths. The centerpiece is the Great Well, an ancient, deep-shafted stone structure that predates many of the surrounding manors. Unlike the cramped Midnight's Muddle, this area is defined by its sense of space, light, and expensive tranquility. The gardens serve as a public park for the city's elite and a Living Library for the Guild of Apothecaries. It is a place for high-society promenades, discreet political trysts, and the study of rare medicinal plants. The Great Well provides the Quarter with some of the purest water in Greyhawk, drawing from a deep subterranean aquifer far below the city's sewer lines.
