The board member did frown in consideration at his cohort when he overheard the whisper from the young Hufflepuff (Daniel) about them helping. "This is your school." Meaning, their job was not to tell them where specifically they should plant them only that they do get planted. Perhaps once specific locations were decided upon, they would help but for now, just oversight of the project.

He knew he'd enjoy the greenery once he got down there, and he WAS genuinely curious as to how the grounds looked after his years at school. One thing in life was certain - the Hogwarts grounds would ALWAYS be changing.

"'ello Mia," he greeted his colleague with a smile. "Where are we at in the planting process?" he asked, glancing around and trying to assess what else needed to be done. He still wasn't sure he bought the whole 'planting new plants will brighten up your school and your spirits' thing the Board was going for, but he wasn't a bright person to begin with, so perhaps he was just wrong.

It was still weird that the board members had followed just to hang around and do nothing helpful, but she was trying not focus on them. Just...just focus on the flowers. On how nice it was outside. Anything besides them.

"I'll get started on this one over here." In case anyone wanted to join? Once she'd reached the dome she'd chosen, she set the plants she was levitating down. Yeah, these would look nice around the entrance to this one!

Mia tried not to look at the board members there, just...following, watching, not helping. She wasn't sure if this was normal, this...having people looking over your shoulder, but it was certainly not what she'd grown accustomed to in her line of work. If would take hours to care for creatures if there was someone second-guessing your every move. Kneeling down next to the entrance of one of the domes, she began digging with a trowel. Oh, good, Javier had arrived, too. She smiled at the man, gesturing to the students at work and the domes in general. "We're in the getting it done part of the process," she said with a small chuckle. The students seemed eager to dig and get the plants in the ground, and her fellow professors too!

As she finished digging and settled some of the plants in the hole, she glanced around some more. "Looks good over there, Miss Grimm!" she called encouragingly.
