Prolonged exposure to the Black Garden's environment can be dangerous. The concepts being whispered there are potentially a contagious brainstain hazard.

The sky of the Martian Black Garden appeared as a thick green veil of [[Darkness]] and after the destruction of the Black Heart, it appeared more clear and centered in what appeared to be in a cave of the Martian landscape. The Lunar Black Garden appeared as a misty sky with three Suns along with a planet and its orbiting moon.

The Black Garden exists on a separate plane that the Vex keeps locked in a void of [[Darkness]] outside of time; the only known way to initially access the Garden was through the gate network requiring the authority of a [[Gate Lord]]. After the Black Heart was destroyed, however, the Garden became a part of contemporary time and space, accessible from an anchored gateway at the [[Valley of the Kings]] on [[Mars]]. During the Taken War, an [[Echo of Oryx]] and a coven of [[Taken]] broke into the Garden by burrowing a new gate from [[Tharsis Junction]], creating a new separate entrance that was closed sometime afterwards. Eventually, the gate at the Valley was destroyed upon the [[Red Legion]]'s invasion of Mars.

Many years later, a Vex gate was uncovered hidden beneath the [[Lunar Battlegrounds]] on [[Luna]]. This gate is very likely the reason how [[Crota]] and his broods appeared on the moon after being thrown into the Vex gate network.
