Gwen's garden Wintersday surprise

How far into the EoTN expansion pack do you have to be to get to Gwen's garden? Would I be able to purchase the expansion an be able to complete the quests during the wintersday event? Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

It's fairly easy to reach as it's right outside the Eye of the North, which is your first outpost destination after finishing the respective transitional quest.

as far as the quests for the event we dont know what it is all we know is its 4 quests,

where the quests take place we dnt know, but......

gwen can bet beat ub less then 2 days hlaf way trying, so i wouldnt worry, get the game it makes things more fun and more titles to get as long with other fun things

I think he tried to say, gwen can be beat in less then 2 days half trying so I wouldnt worry.

As the others have said Gwen's garden is just outside turn right and to the back of Eye Of The North Outpost.
Just run from Boreal Station over the hill to get to EOTN Outpost it's easy.
The 4 quest chain to get the Surprise will be further on in the lands
and we wont know where till the event actually starts.

Oh, GW:EN. I thought there was something about the hero that I was missing out on. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

here is to a polar bear pet

All u gota do is 2 primary quests i think to reach the eye then just go right and u'll reach gwen's garden

FYI the Jingle Bear is charmable.

Thanks to everyone for the advice.
It only took a night to aquire the jingle bear pet....
Thanks again

just get a friend with quests done

Congrats
Also remeber any of your "Ranger" heros can charm the bear too
you just have to rezone and take the "ranger" hero with you.
Not sure if it will still be there after Wintersday to charm?

Any of your Chars and Heroes capable of setting Ranger as a secondary can charm the JingleBear (using Charm Animal and Comfort Animal on each bar). You can complete the quests to do it yourself, or get someone who has completed the quest take you to Gwen's Garden. But you can only charm one JB at a time. Just for grins, I took all my Heroes on my main Char to get their own JingleBears.
