A sculpture garden is a Template:L defined from a Template:L. They act as meeting places for dwarves and tame Template:Ls, causing them to gather there when idle. When dwarves take a break in a sculpture garden, they will admire any built furniture in the room - therefore, you should define the room from a high quality statue and likewise place other high value furniture in the room. When viewing a dwarf's Template:Ls, any admired furniture within a sculpture garden will be 'tastefully arranged'. Occasionally an idle dwarf will host a Template:L at the statue, and dwarves who attend will have a chance to make Template:Ls.
Disadvantages
The major problem with setting up a sculpture garden is that it will encourage your dwarves to throw Template:L. While parties have some virtues, they are generally regarded as a waste of important labor time. Fortunately, parties started at a sculpture garden are easily stopped. Simply free the room, and the party is over.
Advantages
Despite the problem with parties, there are some definite advantages to be had from sculpture gardens, especially when augmented by other things beloved of dwarves. A garden tends to be the favorite play area of dwarven children and off-duty soldiers, which makes it much more likely that a soldier will be handy when a goblin snatcher shows up. Combined with the extra spot checks from all the farm animals loitering there, a garden turns out to be a remarkably safe place.
Gardens are an excellent place to install some types of Template:L Template:L, since the dwarves will loiter there and have a greater chance of observing the magnificent creation. Even if an artifact Template:L is not blocking any fluid, dwarves still enjoy seeing it in built in the middle of a garden. With a few miscellaneous masterwork objects (Template:Ls, Template:Ls, etc.) a trip to the garden can easily make a dwarf's year -- and happy dwarves are hard-working dwarves.
