The Winter Gardens' name is a bit of a misdirection - there are flowers here that bloom at many different times of the year.  It's almost the size of an entire town square, and it has almost every known flora of the Continent in it.

I am the maid to the queen. I get her dressed in the morning and take care of her needs. I live in the servant's quarters on the lower level of the castle.
Sir, I am no sir.  I am a woman!! Oh my apologies. From up here in the air all you humans tend to look the same. Sir, I am no sir.  I am a woman!! Again, I apologize. Do you happen to have any food? You are a bird.  We are in a garden covered with flowers.  What more food would you like? While many birds are vegetarians, I would prefer some seed or small bits of meat if you have it. Well, I don't carry any of this around with me.  My job is to attend to a queen so I need to be clean at all times.  I do not touch meats outside of meal time.  My apologize little bird. Ah, it's alright. I figured there was no harm in asking. You must be quite important to have to tend to the queen. I've lived in this castle for a long time.  Moved my way through the ranks of the lower class.  Even though I tend the queen, I am still a lowly servant, living in the lower levels with the ones that clean toilets and mop floors. Well that doesn't seem like a fair system at all! Thankfully, all birds are considered equal so I don't have to worry about such things. I wish I had wings so I can fly away. It's not all great. Some days food is scarce, and eagles are a constant source of trouble.
