Production Cost: 250
What it Does: Requires you to Adopt Tradition. +6 Food in the City and provides a Free Garden whether you have a river/lake nearby or not. +1 Culture per turn, no GPP.
Strategies
+6 Food is a lot and will help you support Specialists earlier in the game. The AI is very fond of building this Wonder, and many go Tradition so there is almost always competition. I find on Emperor that if I want it, I have to go for Writing then rush for Mathematics to get it. A city with this could easily be a dozen pop higher by the end game. Put it in a City where you will be utilizing lots of specialists later, and consider boosting that City with food or production from other Cities with Trade Routes to make it even better. The Hanging Gardens is easily one of the best Wonders in the World, and having the extra size you'll get from owning it early will result in faster construction times of later Wonders due to sheer population size. Make sure your Empire has the Happiness required to keep the City growing, and put others on avoid growth to let it maximize its potential if you get close to 0.
