The seven greenhouses of Hogwarts are a bridge between the castle and the magnificent grounds surrounding it. They are home to a wide variety of plants which, in the cases of Greenhouses 1-5, are organized neatly in various pots and grow boxes. If you look closely at the plants, you may occasionally find a name tag listing not the scientific name of the plant, but common names such as "Reginald" or "Phillip." In the cases of Greenhouses 6 and 7 the plants are more haphazardly placed and chaotically growing. Professor Lillian has yet to spend more time in those areas to tidy up, so please bear with the mess for a bit.

In each greenhouse there are shelves and cabinets containing empty pots, tools, and other basic necessities for working with plants. There are tables throughout and a large sink in one corner of each greenhouse, along with a compost pile behind Greenhouse 1 for unwanted clippings.

Greenhouses 1, 2, 3, and 6 are open for student use. Permission is required for access to 4, 5, and 7.

OOC: Here's a basic guide of what you might find in each greenhouse; please remember to play realistically based on your character's age and skill level!

Freya sat cross-legged atop an overturned crate near a bench crowded with potted plants, her Herbology textbook spread open across her lap. A roll of parchment rested beside her, already littered with notes, corrections, and several frustrated scribbles she had long since crossed out.

Herbology was not impossible. That was what she kept reminding herself.

But it just simply wasn't Defence Against the Dark Arts.

DADA made sense. Dark creatures, defensive spells, practical applications—those things came naturally. Plants, however, had an irritating tendency to blur together in her memory. Every time she thought she had finally memorized the identifying features of one species, another appeared with nearly identical leaves and a completely different set of hazards.

Freya frowned down at a diagram.

"Ovate leaves..." she muttered to herself, comparing the illustration to a specimen growing nearby. "Or was it heart-shaped? No. Ovate."

The plant seemed unimpressed by her efforts.

A slender tendril brushed against the edge of her parchment, curling lazily around her quill. Freya gently unwound it and nudged it back toward its pot.

"Don't start."

Sighing, she returned to her notes. Turning another page, she studied a section on magical plant life cycles. While she was preoccupied, the vine responded by reaching for her again.
