Eringya's Formal Garden is a Wizard Laboratory made of bushes, trees, and tasteful statuary. Its map is a fairly simple series of shrub-lined pathways, with a portal out just next to the entrance and a pair of fairly obvious guarded treasure chambers behind doors. Expect heavy resistance from centaur and satyr defenders, hostile thorn hunters, and for the garden to occasionally obstruct your path by surrounding you with toadstools.
One of the two treasure chambers will contain a variety of artefact spellbooks, magical staves, and/or rods which may be guarded by two oklob plants. The other will contain an altar to Fedhas Madash guarded by vine-covered earth elementals, as well as more loot. Also, the garden will occasionally drop random fruit near you.

The garden's long passageways can give these enemies ample time to pepper you with arrows before you can reach them, but they're thankfully not very durable. If you find yourself unable to lure them around a corner, try blasting them with powerful ranged attacks, or start a forest fire near them with Fire Magic or Lightning Bolt; if the fire damage doesn't kill them, the smoke will hamper their line of sight to you.

Origin
Most of the wizlabs have fairly obvious origins, usually referencing spells or unrands. This one is slightly more obscure: it refers to Eringya's Surprising Bouquet, a spell that was removed in a very early version of Crawl. Eringya's Surprising Bouquet transmuted any wooden item in your hands into a vaguely edible bouquet of flowers. Other than potentially ridding you of a cursed item or keeping spriggans from starvation, it was useless.
History
Prior to 0.14, the altar of Fedhas Madash was guarded by vine-covered golems, which were essentially stone golems.
| While made of ordinary old weathered stone, covered with moss and vines, this golem still needs to be respected. It is still as hard as stone, after all, and its weight spells massive damage if it connects a blow. |
