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.

worms
I am a worm who slides through the dirt. I hear many secrets that people tell in the forest. I can tell some to you, if you would like.
Be careful where you step though! Us worms get taken out everyday by human walkers. Certainly you would not position yourself on the path, that would be asking for it. We can only travel so fast. Especially if the soil is murky on a given day. Humans don't watch where they walk a lot of the times. I suppose that is true, we do not often concern ourselves with what moves below the feet. If worms were people I feel like you would treat us with more respect. Kind of like how princesses are treated by others. Perhaps that is so, I would say size does make worms a little hard to notice, especially with shoes on. Worms are small in size, but we are mighty in personality. Much like your kind on the inside. Do you enjoy being the princess? It has its ups and downs I would say. Certainly there are benefits but there are also a number of obligations. My friend's father use to be King Harold the second. Which is the highest class of worms possible. I'll always wanted to get a taste of royalty.  Worms also have royalty? Yes ma'm. We have everything humans do just without much of the spotlight. We have kings and queens, prince and princesses and everything below and in between.  How interesting, I would have never guessed such a thing.
