Points of interest
Three of the Greenhouses around the Park are not available to the public and for good reason. These Greenhouses contain various dangerous or fragile specimens of the Park and must be both protected and contained.
The Gnarled Garden
Named for it's contents of plants from The Gnarled Wilds. Due to the aggressive nature of these plants, if they were allowed to grow freely, the city would be subsumed in weeks.
The Widow's House
Named for it's wide variety of Poisonous & Venomous plants. This Greenhouse was built to help researchers study various Poisons and Venoms. As time has marched on, several of the plants within have become endanged due to overharvesting.
Clemintine's Garden
Created by a Clemintine Georgie, this greenhouse was originally created as a place for her to store the rarer and more peculiar specimens she had gathered on her travels. After many years the collection had grown, no thanks to the help of other avid gardeners who had also begun to store similar specimens in the greenhouse. It has been expanded on 5 separate occasions.
Milton's Fork
This historic graveyard is filled with many Citizens of Wholstad's from a time long past, it is rumoured to be haunted, due to the strange noises that can be heard from beneath the Earth at Night. Whilst almost completely left alone today (not even the Grounds keepers enter it) the Statue in it's centre (depicting an unknown, feminine, eyeless figure) is quite famous for it's etherial and haunting beauty, several art courses attempt to visit it every year. It is also the only known sculpture created by the anonymous artist "Chester V. Luck", it is unknown why they haven't come foward to claim the fame and wealth from being the maker of such a famous sculpture.
Climate
This District is always pleasant, even when raining.
