Sally's Garden is a plot found in the seasonal Haunted Mansion Holiday Nightmare overlay of Tokyo Disneyland's incarnation of the Haunted Mansion.
Description[]
Background[]
The garden is belonging to one, Sally who seems to use it to grow the herbs she needs for her special tonics. It is located in the Pet Cemetery of the Haunted Mansion along with many of her jars of ingredients, scattered about.
Origins[]
In The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Sally's garden is located in Halloween Town's graveyard and is presumably kept a secret from her creator Dr. Finkelstein. She uses it to grow her tonics with her keeping her resources in his kitchen.
Contents[]
- Deadly Night Shade: A plant which Sally uses in the film to sedate Dr. Finkelstein. In real-life it is a plant called Belladonna (Atropa belladonna) which is one of the most toxic plants discovered on the planet with a number of harmful symptoms it brings out in mortals.
- Witch Hazel: Witch Hazel is the name given to six species of plants in the Hamamelidaceae family. While the word witch is incidental to magic-practicing (coming from the old English word for, "bendable"), the name has retroactively caused the plant to be used in ceremonial magic and folk-remedies.
- Hen Bane: Hen Bane ( Hyoscyamus niger) or, "Stinking Nightshade" is a psychoactive plant which can be highly toxic but is more renowned for its history of use as a hallucinogen.
- Frog's Breath: Not a plant but rather a jar with a live frog in it. Sally uses the gaseous breath of the frog as an ingredient, namely to cover up the scent of her other more incriminating ingredients.
- Worm's Wart: Worm's Wart is again not necessarily a plant but rather an ingredient which apparently has a delicious odour and taste (at-least to the residents of Halloween Town). It is possibly made from a fungus or virus cluster which infects the outer membranes of worms.

Trivia[]
- During the first year the Sally animatronic was integrated into Haunted Mansion Holiday in Disneyland, the tonic gift she makes for Jack is found in the ballroom as a gift for him. This would presumably have been made from the herbs of her garden. Her basket can be seen with potentially some of these resources in the graveyard.
