I've made a small variation of this idea in our mud, but not in all rooms, (that would mean way too much work to be worth the effort, since very few players actually appreciate subtle things like variations in room descs).
What I've done is a small orchard, where the trees change with the season. The main room description is season neutral, but the trees, which are objects, are bare in winter, flower in spring, are covered with leaves in summer and bear fruit in autumn.
You can pick the fruits, which are used for cooking and brewing skills, but you have to wait till the right season to harvest them. You can chop down the trees too, in which case there will be no fruit, of course.
Currently this is only in the test Port, but seems to work pretty nicely. It's all done with scripts of course.
I also have a garden, where you can grow your own vegetables - provided you get rid of all the weeds and animal pests, muhaha. (It's a really annoying feature and the players hate it. :-P)
