First off, I'm redoing the whole post. (So go ahead and read it all.) Second, thanks to everyone who gave me comments/advice during the WIP stage! And I probably would have sized it down a bit except - the plates are glued to the bottom. So that was pretty much out. Sadly, there were a lot of great ideas I wasn't able to do, and the entire thing probably still looks a bit spread out - but, after all, that's my idea of a garden. Anyway, without further ado, take a stroll!
A closer photo (what a pity I got my shadow in this one!):
I barely had enough to manage this:
And of course, the pond - plus a wheel with the guild flags on it (and I didn't forget Valario!). I'm using dark red as the color for the Universty. Mainly because I just have one dark blue (though that will change!):
One of the professors is conducting an experiment:
And one of the two gardeners:
Oh, and don'f forget the student!
Naturally, there are several statues located throughout:

There are also several more pictures here - plus (some of) the WIP photos, if you're interested in them:
