The courtyard of Ever After is well-maintained, the grass clipped short and the shrubs snipped so that not a branch was out of place. A fountain is in the middle, a singing sparrow spouting water from its beak. The only reason the courtyard looks the way it does is because there are no easy tricks to making it only look orderly. They want it to look nice to attract more future patients. Doctors are really the only ones who get to enjoy the courtyard, unless patients sneak to it... though could you imagine the punishment?
