| | Greenhouses
Welcome to the greenhouses! Six of them are lined up in a row with a neatly placed natural garden laid out in front. It looks as though it has only been planted over the summer. The center of the garden is a bush of deep blue roses, surrounded by some sort of silvery plant.
To the left of the greenhouses is a small Victorian-style building. There are two doors on the front. One leads to the professor's office, and the other leads to storage for the less dangerous gardening materials.
Feel free to help out in the greenhouses. The professor may even give recognition to particularly helpful students.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Armand Beta-Erikson Slytherin First Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Damien Beta-Erikson Slytherin First Year | Slytherin by heart Professor Erikson looked up from tending his rose bush and nodded to her. "The plants always need caring for." He pointed to a row of small plants growing rather close together. "It's about time to thin those plants. Just pull some out so that they're only six inches apart. If you can, only pull the weakest or the smallest ones. If two of them seem to be about the same but too close together, just call me over and I'll show you how to transplant them, alright?"

Hogwarts RPG Name: William Ramsay Sixth Year | GLEE!!! *some obsessions are healthy* | | Mrs. Dr.Spencer Reid <3 Bonnie smiled "Yes Sir," She walked over to the row of plants she took out her wand and measured six inches and then pulled out the weak-link of the plants. She did it over and over again. Finally she had finnished all of the plants. "Professor would you like me to do anything else to the plants? And what would you like me to do with the little plants that I pulled?" She asked, waiting for the Professor to answer her. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sloane W. Fordyce First Year | Cheesy Mac Kennedy had been wandering through the halls trying to get accustomed to where classrooms and professors' offices were located in the castle. This was her first year and she didn't want to start the year off by being late to classes and losing house points. Remembering that she also had Herbology class in the greenhouses, Kennedy headed out on the grounds to take a look at the six greenhouses in which she would be taught through the upcoming years. She entered Greenhouse 1 and found it full of strange and exotic plantlife. She saw a number of clay pots strewn over the corner of the green house, on their sides as if they had been knocked or blown over. Kennedy decided to straighten up the pots by stacking them neatly from largest to smallest. She wanted to help out more but was fearful of doing something incorrectly. After all, she was a first year and had only a limited experience with Herbology. She spotted Professor Erikson in the greenhouse and asked what she could do to help.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Armand Beta-Erikson Slytherin First Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Damien Beta-Erikson Slytherin First Year | Slytherin by heart He looked at Kennedy and gestured to the shed. "There's some watering cans there, and a small pond by the garden. If you could water some plants by hand it would help immensely."
He picked up some peat pots and brought them out to Bonnie. "Of the small ones, look for the healthiest with their roots still mostly intact. Sometimes they can still grow. Just put a little soil in here and replant them. It's a little hard on the plant to do it this way, but the ones that still grow are a lot stronger." He set the pots down. "Just don't forget to water them once your done. Perhaps if you want, you can come back in a week and have your pick of the ones that survive."

Hogwarts RPG Name: William Ramsay Sixth Year | GLEE!!! *some obsessions are healthy* | | Mrs. Dr.Spencer Reid <3 "Yes sir, I would love ot come back and get one" She said as she went back over to the plants. She took the healthiest ones just like he said and put them in the pots. She grabbed a little soil and packed it in aroud the plants she then went over to where Professor Erikson sent Kennedy and grabbed her own watering can. SHe then went over to the pond and filled it up. After that she went back to all of the plants and water every last one of them. She then went and put the watering can back up and went back to Professor Erikson. "Anything else, I'm here to help?" |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sloane W. Fordyce First Year | Cheesy Mac Despite being inexperienced, Kennedy was confident that she could handle watering plants. Even her muggle aunt could handle that, although her plants were probably much less dangerous than those found at Hogwarts! Following Professor Erikson's directions, Kennedy retrieved a watering can from from the shed, filled it in the pond, and went back to the greenhouse to water the plants. There she noticed another student had already begun watering the plants in this greenhouse, so she went to the next and began watering those. Once the plants were watered, Kennedy returned the watering can to the shed and reentered the greenhouse in which Professor Erikson stood. She politely asked, "Is there anything else you need today? Or would you like me to come back another time to help out again?"

Hogwarts RPG Name: Armand Beta-Erikson Slytherin First Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Damien Beta-Erikson Slytherin First Year | Slytherin by heart "General tending is always well and good, children." He gestured about the gardens. "Take some time to inspect the plants here. These ones are fairly harmless. Things to look out for are wilting, abnormal leaf shape, and anything else that may look suspicious. Just be sure to ask be before you pull anything."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sloane W. Fordyce First Year | Cheesy Mac Kennedy took Professor Erikson's instructions and began to inspect the different plants. She hoped to become well acquainted with the individual characteristics of each plant prior to the start of classes. She spent about an hour searching all the plants for wilting and learning how to identify suspicious-looking leaves, roots, flowers, etc. Despite her efforts, Kennedy did not find anything remotely unhealthy about these plants. She assumed that Professor Erikson must be very good at his job because all the plants were very well cared for. Realizing that she did all she could for the day, Kennedy bid farewell to Professor Erikson and headed out to the Magical Creature Hospital.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Armand Beta-Erikson Slytherin First Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Damien Beta-Erikson Slytherin First Year | Slytherin by heart He looked over at Rachel. "Not quite yet. But here, come with me." He lead her over to where Bonnie was, looking at the wilted plant. "This one's quite interesting, actually. Believe it or not, it's a muggle plant. No magical properties at all."
He looked at Bonnie. "It's very sensitive, you see. This one moreso than it's siblings. I'm not sure why. But it must have been scared of you." He pulled both girls back, so they could just barely see the leaves of the plant, and gestured for them to watch it. Just as it seemed like nothing was happening, it started un-wilting, starting from the bottom of the plant.

"Whoa, that's cool. What's the name of this plant?" Rachel asked as she dug into her bag to get out a pen and paper to take notes.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Armand Beta-Erikson Slytherin First Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Damien Beta-Erikson Slytherin First Year | Slytherin by heart ooc: Gah! My post disappeared! "It is called, well enough, the Sensitive Plant. It's Latin name is Mimosa Pudica, and it comes from Brazil." He pulled a small paper fan from his pocket carefully. "Most of them wilt within minutes at a touch, heat, or being shaken. This one, however..." He waved a small gust of air toward the plant, which wilted itself. "... is particularly sensitive to currents, vibrations, and heat. Your breath, your body heat, or your footsteps can cause this little one to wilt." ooc: there are some great videos of this online. It's pretty neat. He looked over to Bonnie. "Well, I suppose you two could always get a head-start in class. Then you can help me out when the class starts. How does that sound?"

Hogwarts RPG Name: Armand Beta-Erikson Slytherin First Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Damien Beta-Erikson Slytherin First Year | Slytherin by heart He nodded to them and headed for Greenhouse 3. Towards the back were some pots, seeds, and light gloves. He put on a pair of gloves, gesturing to a box of smaller ones off to the side. "Put a pair on. These aren't dangerous, they're just sensitive to us. Our first class will be dealing with these little guys. I'll give you details in class, so let's just focus on their care for now."

I'm sorry" She felt bad saying that but it was the truth. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Cora Abbott Fifth Year |
Cora walked into the greenhouse. She was excited to have a chance to work in gardens because that was one of her favorite things to back home. She turned to the professor and said, "Hello, my name is Cora Abbott. I am a first year. Is there anything I could do in the greenhouses, professor?"

Hogwarts RPG Name: Armand Beta-Erikson Slytherin First Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Damien Beta-Erikson Slytherin First Year | Slytherin by heart "Well, I was just getting ready to prepare for the next lesson, if you want to get a head start." He pulled out a few small boxes of shiny opalescent seeds of varying colors. "Just put on a set of gloves and help me sort these seeds a bit." He pulled out some smaller boxes to sort into. "If it gets full, then we have all we need of that color." To start, he put a seed in each box to mark which color was going where.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Cora Abbott Fifth Year |
Cora grabbed a pair of gloves and put them on. She looked into the box with all of the seeds in it and thought to herself there are so many different colors. She grabbed a blue seed and put in the nearest empty box and labeled it "blue" with pen. Then she grabbed a green one and put into anothe box and labeled that box "green". "Professor, what kind of seeds are these?" Cora asked while she continued to sort the seeds.
