The Eternal Garden is a cemetery that Wirt, Greg, & several other kids go to on Halloween night in Chapter 9 of Over the Garden Wall. Over the wall in the back of the cemetery are train tracks, where Greg & Wirt go to escape the cops. An oncoming train forces Greg & Wirt to jump away, causing them to fall down a steep hill into a pond where they lose consciousness and enter the Unknown.

It is believed the Unknown is a purgatory-like place, where those who have passed on must try to find peace & resolve their troubles, while the Beast taunts them & urges them closer toward failure. Those who lose hope are claimed by the Beast and turned into the edelwood trees that comprise the woods -- a literal eternal garden of death.

This slime is for those who are muddling their way through unknowns, in search of resolution. While gardens often represent peace, new life, & solace, they are really a neutral slate...they become what we put into them. In the absence of mindful cultivation, our garden can wither away like twisted edelwoods...or grow wild & flourish with the surprises nature brings. We can care for them lovingly, but when overtended, our plants can suffocate. The garden you cultivate is your own... but how they fare is heavily dependent on the resources we have access to. In OTGW, the "garden" is ironically a place of death rather than thriving life, but by stepping through death's door & facing his fears, Wirt finally gains the confidence to choose his own path.

A new texture packed with jumbo white pumice stones, scented like a rainy cemetery overgrown with lush green flora. Comes with a “marble” cherub charm resembling the ones you find on tombstones, a mushroom, faux moss, and two funeral roses.
