A communal (non-assigned) garden is similar to a {{L|Meeting hall}} in that it provides a place for idle dwarves and animals to congregate and throw {{L|party|parties}}.

Since dwarves are not going to eat in it, there is no need to build tables or chairs to accommodate them. As such, there is plenty of room to put in all sorts of {{L|quality|valuable}} {{L|furniture}}, which can give your dwarves {{L|Thought#Happy_Thoughts|happy thoughts}} - furthermore, all furniture in a sculpture garden will be "tastefully arranged", presumably making dwarves even happier. As well, since only a statue or slab is required, it is easy to create a Sculpture garden outside. This is very useful to prevent {{L|cave adaptation}} and can double as a {{L|defense design|early warning system}} against {{L|thief|thieves and snatchers}}. |

While this can be an effective way for dwarves to make {{L|friend}}s, it can also waste valuable labor time. Thankfully, ending the party is as simple as {{k|q}}uerying the statue and {{k|f}}reeing the room, though it does mean the room needs to be designated again. |
