Fortunately, Lego Land is opening a park there, and from what I hear, the gardens will still be a part of it.

I didn't know what a banyan tree is, sa I looked and found out that "In Hinduism, the leaf of banyan tree is said to be the resting place for the God Krishna, who, after consuming all the universe during the time of destruction, absorbs everything created and turns himself to a child as small as he could fit into the tiny leaf of the banyan tree and keeps floating in the void space, until he himself decides to recreate everything back out from him."

Yes, with wrought iron work provided for climbing vines. For many years the only plants in it were plastic, though. However, the windows on each side were large enough to let in enough sun to grow things.

For lack of a fireplace or mantle, my mother used to hang our Christmas stockings on the planters. My stocking on one, my sister's on the other.
