Geography
The garden has foetid lakes made out of gelid filth.[2]
The Plague-Moon Arghus glow with a sickly green light that illuminates all beneath its case.[3a]
Locations
- Lower Festerfields: A place ploughed by Horticolous after he returned from slaughtering the Zintalis tribe.[2]
- Pestilent Pastures: A noisome wood and the last known location of Rotigus after Horticolous heard the portents of death. There is a ridge of bone that overlooks it. It was briefly invaded by the Daemons of Tzeentch and a spur of the Crystal Labyrinth.[2]
- Sporefields: Hidden deep within Nurgle's great garden are these oozing spawning grounds that give birth to the Plaguefather's most beloved poxes. The Gates of Dawn in Realm of Ghyran was corrupted to lead here before it was destroyed by Bolathrax trying to squeeze through it.[1]
- Swamp of Ages: A swamp on the borders of the Garden. It was crystallized by Daemons of Tzeentch during the War of Slime and Fire.[4a]

There are many corrupted realmgates dotting Nurgle's garden.[2]
Some of the known Realmgates are:
