Truth tell, I'd never create a tavern map with a garden attached to it. It doesn't make much sense to me, but that's the challenge requirements.

Don't they have beer gardens in the US? Over here many pubs have an outdoor area for patrons to drink in - particularly as now smoking indoors in public places has been banned by law.

It really depends quite a bit on the location and clientèle. For example, "Da Ragin Ork" is located in a mud pit in the middle of nowhere and the half-orc owner doesn't really care about flowers and such. As long as the patrons have gold to spend and don't cause to much trouble, both the inside and outside are pretty much left to nature to take care of.

Now, "Sharielle's House of Pleasure" which is located in a large city and tends to cater to a more urbane patronage, that's a totally different story, but I will leave that for another time.

I don't drink (allergic to alcohol) and haven't been in a bar in over 15 years, but "Beer Gardens" never even occurred to me. When I think of beer gardens, its just means outside patio to me, having nothing to do with plants or flowers. So that's what I'll do.

And Redrobes, I'm not into flowers, so the flowers I got are clipart from a general collection - I'm sure I could easily find flower photos online, just no intention of doing so. In all my years of graphic design, I've only had to deal with flowers once, so I'm not compelled to look. Thanks anyway.

Luckily in Illinois (outside of Chicago), it still isn't illegal to smoke in a bar or restaurant. I went to California about ten years ago, and almost lit up a cigarette in the bar - I was shocked to discover you couldn't do it (liberals...)

So now I'll just drop the plants/flowers from my map and call it a Beer Gardens patio (hurray, I didn't want flowers in my map anyway!)

Joe: You must take me to Sharielle's one day...
GP: Some of the 'beer gardens' I've seen are nothing more than a concrete patio with not a plant in sight!

Luckily the only beer I can't drink is St. Pauli's Girl, gives me a nasty rash!

We bypassed the flowers in the garden at Hebbie's Ale House as well, as a one word description of Snapgallows is "Grim", and decided to serve the food in the summer out there. Any one for half a roasted Cask Belly Hammer, (read as pot bellied pig).
