More information about the House history and structure can be found on the House of the Gilded Longleaf (group) page.

House Grounds

The House grounds and buildings that are made available to the public and to House members-only can be found outside the Shard east gate along the Ring Road. Within the grounds are a number of refreshments and Picked Flora.

[House of the Gilded Longleaf, Trail]
The trail meanders around a fallen tree and several large boulders. Wildflowers grow in sparse clumps hosting the occasional butterfly as they flit from one batch to the next. Waving in the breeze, ribbons clearly mark the route. You also see a dark hole nestled between two boulders and a winding trail leading towards the eastern shore.
Obvious paths: west, northwest.


Pickable:


[House of the Gilded Longleaf, Glade]
Snapdragons and verbena grow in a profusion of color here, covering every inch of the ground. Lush spicebushes nestle against the thicket which looms nearby, its brilliant orange flowers sending a siren call to the butterflies which flock to the area for miles around. A game trail leads to the southeast and a wooded path heads north, following the thicket. You also see a path.
Obvious paths: southeast.


Pickable:


[House of the Gilded Longleaf, Wooded Path]
The maintained path follows the thicket through woods populated with pine, cedar and oak trees. Wildflowers dominate the ground cover surrounding sweet-smelling lilac bushes. The butterflies fly more thickly here, and the air is full of their fluttering wings. Discreet ribbons are tied to the bushes and thicket in regular intervals to mark the way through the undergrowth. You also see a path.
Obvious paths: northwest.


Pickable:


[House of the Gilded Longleaf, Meadow]
Following the thicket, the path travels through a small, overgrown meadow. Lilac bushes fill the open area giving off their sweet, heady fragrance. The ever-present butterflies have given way to honey bees from a nearby hive who are working tirelessly at collecting pollen. Ribbons have been regularly placed on the bushes and thicket to mark the path.
Obvious paths: north, southeast.


Pickable:


[House of the Gilded Longleaf, Path]
Amid a riot of daisies and buttercups sits a red-lacquered wooden bench. Swarms of colorful butterflies fly over the flowers in ever-changing clouds. An arbor, laced with blue and white flowers, interrupts the otherwise impenetrable wall of the nearby thicket.
Obvious paths: northeast, south.


Pickable:


[House of the Gilded Longleaf, Forest Bower]
Encircling giant ferns offer privacy to this peaceful glade while the boughs of towering trees and a simple awning offer shelter from the elements. The gentle murmur of a nearby stream promises a restful slumber in the open air. For that purpose, a collection of hammocks clusters around a stone firepit. Some thoughtful soul has left jugs of spring water and a basket of freshly-baked bread near the forest-green door leading into the building. You also see a weathered ramp.
Obvious exits: none.

Note: this room is restricted to House members.

[House of the Gilded Longleaf, Wooded Trail]
Growing more abundantly as the trail heads northward, the trees are thick on the ground. Very few wagons are found here, giving a sense of solitude to the area. Several pots of bright red geraniums are placed side by side with herbs, adding both beauty and function to the portable landscaping. The path continues toward the sound of water while a ramp heads to a forest bower.
Obvious paths: northeast, southeast.
