There was a lot of bizarre stuff happening in Herbology. Someone was licking plants, someone was eating a cookie (strictly against the rules), and someone was floating around as if they had enchanted shoes. There were a lot of strange students at Hogwarts, but it was rare to see so many odd things happening at once. Although it seemed as if everyone was acting differently now that they were at Beauxbatons.

And this was always Avalon's problem: she waited too long to answer the professor's questions, and by the time she had thought of a response, another student had already said it. The young Ravenclaw hated redundancy, so she hesitated to repeat answers that had already been shared. She racked her brain for something else to add to the conversation, opting to share her own personal opinion. Professor Beryl did say to be creative, after all.

Avalon raised her hand. "I'd want the garden to be tidy, but not too tidy, if that makes sense. Too many straight lines would make it look a bit..." she paused, trying to find the right word. She thought back to some of the 'too' perfect greenhouses that she had seen when she visited her brother in the United States. "Artificial." Usually, Avalon didn't think that anything could be too tidy or organized. But when it came to gardens, it was different. Gardens were living, breathing things. " If the garden was for me, I'd want to include a sitting area in the middle, maybe with a waterfall or fountain. It's relaxing to spend time with nature." But only if the plants were not trying to bite her arm off. "And I agree with what a lot of the others have said. The shape of the garden could affect how much sunlight and water each plant gets, and how big or small the plants grow. You'd have to take that into account when planning it." There. It wasn't the most original answer she had ever given, but at least she had contributed somehow.
