Each consisted of a flowing artificial river, six platforms containing soil and plant life, and a series of ramps and walkways. They provided an excellent view of the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] at the center of the city. Environmental modules known as [[Valleys of Tears]] were located nearby.{{Ref/Reuse|gravemind}} | | The '''Hanging Gardens'''<ref>[[Halo 2: The Official Game Guide]], pg 129.</ref> were [[Covenant]] natural environment modules on the orbital city ''[[High Charity]]''. |

| 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}}
