The '''Hanging Gardens''' were natural environment modules on the [[Covenant]] [[city|holy city]] ''[[High Charity]]''.<ref name="strategy">''[[Halo 2: The Official Strategy Guide]]'', p. 129</ref><ref name="gravemind">''Halo 2'', [[campaign]] level [[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]</ref> The Hanging Gardens were suspended in mid-air between two towers along the inner rim of High Charity's dome, and were accessible by way of [[gravity bridge]]s. Each consisted of a flowing artificial river, six platforms containing soil and plant life, and a series of ramps and walkways.

==History==
It can be assumed that both gardens were destroyed when [[the Flood]] invaded High Charity, or if not, it is certain that they were destroyed along with High Charity during [[John-117]]'s [[raid on High Charity]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]''</ref>

[[File:Hanging gardens A.jpg|thumb|250px|A Sangheili and a Jiralhanae face off in Hanging Garden A.]]
During the first hours of the [[Great Schism]], both [[Sangheili]]-led and the [[Jiralhanae]]-led Covenant groups tried to take the gardens. [[Special Operations Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]] dueled with [[Jiralhanae]] forces, including several [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Jiralhanae Honor Guardsmen]] for control of the garden. Later on, two [[Sangheili Ranger]]s came to assist their allies. During his chase of the [[Prophet of Truth]], John-117 slew all Covenant forces in the area.{{Ref/Reuse|gravemind}}
Hanging Garden A was located between the [[High Council Chamber]] and the [[Mid Tower]].<ref name="strategy"/>


===Hanging Garden B===
During the first hours of the [[Great Schism]], both [[Swords of Sanghelios|the Sangheili-led]] and the [[Covenant|Jiralhanae-led]] Covenant groups tried to take the gardens. [[Special Operations Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]] dueled with [[Jiralhanae]] forces, including several [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Jiralhanae Honor Guardsmen]] for control of the garden. Later on, two [[Sangheili Ranger]]s came to assist their allies. During his chase of the [[Prophet of Truth]], John-117 slew all of the forces, as they had not yet allied with the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]].<ref name="gravemind"/>
During the opening stages of the Great Schism, the Sangheili-led Covenant tried to attack the garden, but were repelled by the Jiralhanae. All Sangheili were slaughtered in the heated combat. John-117 arrived just in time to see two berserking Jiralhanae massacring the retreating Unggoy. The Chief and accompanying Marines slew them all during their pursuit to the Prophet of Truth.{{Ref/Reuse|gravemind}}


==Layout==
The area, although fairly small, was rather complicated. There were two hills on each side, and only one way to get to them. It was sometimes a difficult to find area, especially since the area was somewhat dim. In addition, there was a [[Kig-yar Sniper]] on the immediate right, which might be hard to spot.<ref name="gravemind"/>
