How to judge a garden

Formal gardens may be judged by any Initiate of Art and Music, and should be judged for beauty and variety of flora, not raw volume of plant matter.

Keep in mind that the surrounding of a garden can't be helped - aka a garden in the middle of a desert can be as beautiful as a garden that is placed on lush green grass with lots of flowers/trees in the neighbourhood!

Unlike other art Tests, Formal Gardens may be tended after judging has opened
