Phantomhive Garden

Lore & Background

The text mentions Finnian serves as the household gardener of German descent who loves his work but is often dubbed an idiot by Sebastian because 'every time he tends to the garden, it is destroyed through an accident caused by his clumsiness.' Despite this destruction, Finnian works as a gardener to spend as much time outside as possible, having previously been an experiment subject kept locked up. The text does not provide lore about the garden's design, history prior to Finnian's employment, or its function beyond being tended by him.

In Their Own Story

It describes the servants' roles: Baldroy as the cook who uses flamethrowers, Mey-Rin as the maid with poor close-range eyesight due to her binocular acuity, and Finnian as the gardener whose superhuman strength leads to accidents. The text mentions that Ciel occasionally displays concern for others, such as when Sebastian was worried about his asthma attack or panic attack, but no specific scene takes place in a garden setting.

Reader's Guide

The source does not provide a guide to visiting or navigating the Phantomhive Garden. It states the estate is located outside London and is currently home to five servants: Baldroy (cook), Finnian (gardener), Mey-Rin (maid), Tanaka (house steward), and Snake (footman). The text notes that their positions as servants are a front for protecting Ciel. It mentions Finnian's specific behavior of destroying the garden due to clumsiness despite warnings, but offers no information on how to avoid these accidents or the layout of the grounds.
