Default The Student Garden


Banner by the lovely and amazing sweetpinkpixie.

As you pass by the Greenhouses you come across an area with high stone walls, and through the arch you will find the Student Garden.

Over the summer holidays Professor Bentley has been working hard to reinvigorate the Student Garden. Come and take a stroll down the winding path. As you go around the loop you will notice a variety of new plants, both magical and mundane, but be careful! You never know what to expect.

This Garden is designated for student use, so feel free to come down and practice your gardening skills. Remember to use your protective gear! If you forgot to bring them with you, then there are spares you may borrow from the garden shed along with any gardening equipment you may need.

There are a number of areas of loose soil where students may wish to plant their own favourite plants. Just be sure you return and tend to them regularly, and be sure you don't let the iris's die otherwise Professor Bentley will not be impressed- they are her favourite after all.

Hufflepuff HTF Mission One- Post 1
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Jory walked around the Student Garden looking at the flowers. He was trying to decide which and how much he would use. He fingered his dragon hide gloves and the small garden shears he had in his robe pocket. He had seen his mom use a shear just like that when she cut roses and he had looked for one in the stores for students.

The boy decided that the white roses he was standing in front of would be perfect of the arrangement. Carefully, he cut five of them with a good length of stem. With the roses in his hands, he turned to look at the other flowers. He had no idea about floral arrangements so he didn't know which flowers would look the best together so he had decided to go with flowers he thought were pretty.

Jory soon decided on pink carnations. With the garden shears, he cut four of them and added them to his collection of roses. He knew he had to get some smaller flowers as fillers. Since the container he planned to use wasn't very big, he figured he won't be needing lots of "fillers".

The Puff pondered on which he would use. After a while, he made up his mind on marigolds. "Perfect,'' he said and he began to cut them. When he had enough, he returned the shears to the cupboard and left the Garden.

It was nice to be out in the sun and fresh air, especially after being closed up in the castle for several double class periods. Vivi perched on a bench closest to the stone arch, her fingers resting on the satchel containing her gardening supplies. Soon enough, she'd get started with her task force project, but for now... it was nice just to be outside.

Perhaps she'd just rest for a moment? Vivi tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and soaked in the smell and feel of the place. It was good practice, actually, relying on senses other than sight, trying to identify the plants in the vicinity by smell, and trying to pick up sounds. The birds, the buzz of some buzzy little insect, and the crunch of feet on gravel. So not quite alone.

The sun was up and bright. The wind was blowing normally. The clouds were puffy. Overall, the weather was perfect for walks and recreational activities. And it was also the perfect time to gather some flowers for the Task Force.

Kat was one her way to the Student Garden. Seeing the great and wonderful flowers everywhere, Kat couldn't wait to collect the perfect one for her plan, framed pressed flowers. She chose it because she thought it was kinda unique to see flowers inside frames. And hanging them in your room, or office, or anywhere you feel like. Terrific.

Squatting beside a bush, Kat retrieved a yellow tulip. Smelling it, the scent reminded Kat of the field in California. The sun reflecting to the bright yellow flowers around which includes daffodils and even these tulips. Kat smiled. "This will be great."

This is the first time Juliet has ever signed up for anything that involves Herbology. She was never the one to be expert in such subjects. Plants are not an expert field of hers but she doesn't entirely hate it. Hopefully this task force thing will change her point of view with herbology.

Reading the first task given to them, Juliet's cheeks immediately blushed. She liked the idea of giving a present to someone she likes. It makes her want to bounce in excitement.

Walking towards the student garden early in the morning, Juliet put down her bag in the table. Took out her gloves and walked around with a trowel on her hand. Her eyes searched for an adorable plant. One that would really be great for a gift. Still, walking a few more she managed to spot a flower that caught her attention, even from a far. She ran towards to where it was and a smiled planted on her lips. A really big smile.

It's a camellia. Juliet sat on her knees to touched the petals of the beautiful flower. Even with this distance you can really smell the aroma it gives. Yes, this will really do.

This is perfect. Smile.

Cruuuunch...

...went the gravel as Sierra walked through the Student Gardens. She, too, had a satchel of supplies with her. Why? Herbology Task Force, of course. it'd taken her next to no time at all to come up with something she thought the professor might like. At least, she might think it was creative enough.

Would Sierra have a good use for it? Ehh. Maybe. That all depended on how much she'd used her textbooks for classes and homework.

Crunch...crunch...crunch...crunch...

Sierra came to a sudden stop when she realized she was standing in front of Vivi Branxton. What was the girl doing? Sunbathing? ... "Herbology Task Force?" she asked.

Vivi opened one eye and gave Sierra a lazy smile. If she was just a little bit more impressive, she would have recognized who it was by the sound of her footsteps or something.

"Greingoth. Herbology Task Force," Vivi opened her other eye and rolled gracefully up off the bench, immediately ready and raring to get to work. And now she had a partner in crime gardening. Vivi pointed up the path a ways.

"What supplies do you need for your project?"

Sierra almost rolled her eyes at the way Vivi greeted her. Why? ...because deep down inside she realized how they were allowing their personalities to keep them from being actual friends when they could so easily get along really well. They actually had a lot in common, like she and Tori Bunbury.

*sigh* Sierra missed having Tori around.

"I just need a few small pickings of colorful flowers," she said. "...and some plastic. I think I'll go to the library later, too, and make some copies of some poems."

How sweet. Heh.

"What about you?" she asked, looking at the bag. "What are you making?"

Superfan of: Minerva, Severus, Albus, Hermione <3 Travelling/ History geek/ TV show addict

Since it was mid-autumn already, chances of finding some flowers for the Herbology project were rather slim. The only place Ari could think of were the student gardens. Heading over there with a basket in hand early Saturday morning-she had read somewhere that morning was the best time to pick flowers for pressing-, the girl wondered what exactly she could make and for whom.

Still undecided, she spotted some beautiful violets. Regardless of the nature of the final product, Ari was confident she could use these. Picking a few, she looked around for more interesting plants. She added some geraniums and pansies to the collection in her basket, and suddenly an idea formed in her head. Yes, she knew what to do with them. But she still needed a few more items. Some ferns, for one. Luckily, there were plenty in the student gardens.

Having picked those up, Ari made up her mind as to where to go next, basket and all. The orchard.

"Flowers and plastic," Vivi repeated, shoving her hands into her pockets and kicking away gravel on the path. She nodded her head in the direction of the flowers before setting off in that direction. "And poetry. Please tell me you aren't copying love poetry. I'll throw up in the rhododendron."

She paused to finger a few budding flowers without seeing precisely what she wanted, and then Vivi moved on again. "Pressed flowers, actually. Framed. I thought they'd make a nice decoration in the Board of Governors suite." Yes, ALRIGHT? She was making something for her mother. Gosh.

"Did you know that you can speak entire thoughts with simple flowers?"

Sierra nodded. Flowers and plastic? Yup, that was her project. Or, at least, those were the materials she needed for the project. She made a face when Vivi said something about love poetry. "Eww," she said. "Definitely not love poetry. I just need some messages in there, so you can't see so much plastic. I may even write them myself."

...and yes, Sierra Greingoth was capable of composing decent messages.

"Pressed flowers," she said. "Same here. Mine will be made into bookmarks, though." She eyed some of the nearby flowers. She didn't really care which ones she got or what they meant. She just wanted credit for the assignment.

"I did," she answered. "Some boy got me flowers once, but...I just made them into a potion. Or used them in one."

♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#

It had been rather clear to Logan that Ness was feeling rather hormonal down in the dumps lately. Of course she never said why she was feeling this way, but... he wanted to give her something nice. Something that would put a smile on her face even if it was only for a little while. That was why this mission fit in so perfectly; Ness would get flowers from him.

All girls like flowers, right?

Having decided right from the get go that he was going to give her something with personal meaning, Logan had actually worked on his idea for her present in the Common Room the night before. At first he had thought about making her a flower arrangement that would look like a giant Snitch, but another plan had won out in the end. A flower arrangement that represented a purple Lochness monster on the water. A Lochnessie.

Ness loved purple like his cousin did; unless he was mistaken, it was her favourite colour. And the Lochness monster had her nickname in it: LochNESS monster. It was perfect for her.

Practically beaming, Logan walked through the garden with a small basket in his hands. He was looking for some nice pretty flowers that he would use for the Lochnessie. Preferable a nice rich shade of purple and nothing that was too big or over the top.

Coming upon some purple tulips, he paused. They were a lovely shade and seemed to be a good shape to work with for the body of the monster. Sniffing deeply, he also noticed that they smelled really good.

Purple tulips it is.

That admission had Vivi laughing loudly, so hard that she bent over and put her hand to her knees. So Greingoth was unromantic a soul as Vivi herself was? That was just perfect.

Bell flowers. Blue ones.

"I'm going to take a few of these. What flowers do you like enough to press for long term keeping?"

The last time Harlow was in the gardens she was crying like a punctured a ballon. Not this time. She was happy and she was doing something fun. With her bucket, garden shears and garden gloves she was in a particularly good mood.

She waved at a few other people in the gardens who she suspected were doing their herbology task force assignment like she was doing as well. She weaved in and out of the neat rows back toward the sunny spot of the garden where MoMo and Appa were. She waved at them. "Hey guys," Their leaves quivered in response.

She petted both of them as she checked their growth and their leaves. MoMo was the bigger of the two. He was too large for her to move by herself anymore and she was sure he weighted at least two of her at this point. He was almost up to her hips and that was saying something. Appa started humming a lullaby. Harlow smiled. This was going to be a great present. "MoMo my love will you let me have one of your babies?" It was always polite to ask. She had planted four of MoMo's seeds last year and the seedlings were growing up nicely. Soon she would have a whole singing pumpkin patch.

She had Appa's seedlings at her garden at home. She wanted to have a patch at Hogwarts. This would be her legacy to the school if she didn't do anything else.

One of MoMo's leaves snaked around and patted her on the head. She took that as a yes. She leaned down and kissed the pumpkin near his stalk. "Thank you old friend." Harlow set her bucket down and slipped on her gloves and grabbed her trowel out of her bucket. She knelt down in the dig and went about carefully uprooting one of the older seedlings. She cooed the seedling and reassured it that it was going to a good place.

Appa switched to singing an aria in soprano. Aria's were his favorite and Harlow's too. It was nice music to garden by. She transfered the seedling to the bucket she had brought along. After taking her gloves off she leaned back against MoMo to listen to the end of Appa's little concert.

Placing his basket down by his feet, Logan reached in and pulled out the gardening gloves that he had brought. Biting his lip, he put them both on his hands before reaching in again and taking out his gardening shears. Okay, so these were really his mother's, but that didn't matter a whole lot; Logan was just happy that he had thought to bring them with him to Hogwarts for use in Herbology.

Shears firmly in hand now, Logan proceeded to study the purple tulips, looking for whatever ones would work the best for the lovely Lochness monster he would be creating. How many of these things would he even need? o_O It was probably better to be safe than sorry and gather a pretty large amount of flowers.

Yeah, Logan hadn't really thought out how big he wanted to make the thing. Oops.

Snip ... Snip ... Snip...

Cutting the best looking flowers off of their long stems, Logan then proceeded to trim off leaves and such so that it would make creating the flower arrangement easier for him. Each flower was carefully placed into the basket, him making sure that none of the petals got damaged.

Good progress was being made here, and he was getting more and more confident that Ness would like her present with each Snip Snip of his shears.

Sierra paused and gave Vivi a LOOK. Was she laughing AT HER, or was she just amused by something? Sierra didn't like the thought of somebody laughing AT HER, but Vivi didn't seem to be. She'd keep an eye on her just in case, though.

"Oh, he had a crush on me, no doubt," she said. "I was only twelve or so, though. Things like that just made me blush." She hadn't seen that boy in quite some time either. Maybe he'd moved. He had gotten sorted into Hufflpuff, so maybe he got wise about it and just went home.

Vivi brought her focus back to flowers then. "Umm, I don't know. I was really aiming for lots of colors, but...I think I like roses. They have so many different meanings," she said. It'd be easier to explain her bookmarks then. "I think I'll take some of those." She chose some pickings of various color roses then--pink, yellow, white, and red.

Logan had to admit that he rather liked this whole gardening deal. Okay, maybe he wasn't gardening per say, but the fact still remained that this was rather therapeutic. Besides, the flowers really did smell lovely despite the fact that he had to stifle a few sneezes that he was on the verge of making. Pretty sure that the plants wouldn't want to be sneezed all over.

Once he was sure that he had enough purple tulips for an awesome Lochnessie, he stopped and took a bit of a break. Standing by the tulips, he craned his head around in the hopes that something white would enter his field of vision. If he was going to do a scene for Ness, a sky was needed... and the sky would need clouds. Maybe a sun too, but that would be for when he moved on to yellow flowers. One thing at a time and all that.

Not really having any luck in finding white flowers from where he was located, he picked his basket up and started walking along more flowers. Nothing was really catching his eye, and it seemed that everything was either pink or orange or red or any other colour that he wasn't after. It wasn't until he reached the roses that he felt confident. There were definitely white roses, and blue ones too if he had any luck. The blue ones would be used for the water if he could find some that were the right shade.

Walking among the flowers, it didn't take too long to reach the white ones that he wanted to use. Standing right in front of them, he placed his basket down again and got ready to start gathering some. Fortunately he wouldn't need as many for the clouds as he had for the Lochness monster.

"Oh, he had a crush on me, no doubt," she said. "I was only twelve or so, though. Things like that just made me blush." She hadn't seen that boy in quite some time either. Maybe he'd moved. He had gotten sorted into Hufflpuff, so maybe he got wise about it and just went home.

Vivi brought her focus back to flowers then. "Umm, I don't know. I was really aiming for lots of colors, but...I think I like roses. They have so many different meanings," she said. It'd be easier to explain her bookmarks then. "I think I'll take some of those." She chose some pickings of various color roses then--pink, yellow, white, and red.
Only twelve and Sierra was breaking hearts? That was a bit more sobering, but Vivi laughed again. "I don't think anyone has ever brought me flowers, but that might be out of fear for life and limb." She wasn't always approachable.

Roses were sort of a... romantic flower, which still suggested that Sierra was making a sweetheart gift. Not that Vivi would push it. She also thought roses were rather dense for pressing, but done correctly, they'd make a very lovely pressing.

"I have extra blotting paper if you're interested," Vivi crouched beside her own selections and carefully cut the flowers using the tools from her satchel. From there, the flowers were laid out carefully on the blotting paper exactly as she wanted them to look in the frame. Maybe she could fit another flower... or... no. Best not to be too cluttered.

The blotting paper and flowers went into the middle of her Potions textbook. See, Greingoth? Easy as pie.

With shears in hand, Logan began the process of collecting flowers again. As he worked, he started humming a tune under his breath. Oh, Ness was going to really like this present. He was sure of it. It would impress her and make her happy. He really wanted to impress her make her smile.

Making sure that he kept looking down occasionally to check on how many flowers he had collected, he carried on in this fashion until he was sure there were enough. That was the clouds covered and the next thing that he would need to do was gather blue ones. Hopefully there would be lovely blue roses suitable for what he wanted to do.

Picking up his basket, he kept moving along the roses, every once in a while stopping to get a closer look or to smell him. Was he really into gardening, or was this good mood a result of doing something for Ness? He honestly had no clue, and he didn't mind not knowing.

After what seemed to be a few minutes, Logan did indeed stumble on some really nice roses that were a rather bright blue. These were the ones that he wanted to use, so he yet again set his basket down. Lots of these roses would be needed. And so would another basket at this rate.

Sierra paused and looked up at Vivi with a curious expression. "Why are people so scared of you anyway? You don't seem like the person that would threaten life and limb," she said. Or, at least, she'd never threatened Sierra's life and limbs, and the Slytherin got the impression that if she did, it wouldn't be very scary.

Maybe that's because she thought their personalities were so similar.

"Oh," she said, slightly surprised that someone was being so helpful. She wasn't quite used to that. Hmm. "That'd be cool. Thanks." Sierra laid out her roses and took a sampling of the pink bunch. Pink was for gratitude and appreciation, so she'd give this one to a professor. "So how do I use this blotting paper anyway?" she asked. She was just going to slap the roses and words in the plastic and seal them, but...apparently there was some other way.

"I can be quite terrifying when properly motivated. You've never seen me motivated," Vivi reached out to touch some neighboring flowers thoughtfully, mentally cataloging the meaning of those she saw. A crocus for mirth, a violet for faithfulness, a daisy for innocence. What was the flower for 'you motivate me to terrify you'?

"The paper absorbs the moisture from the flowers as they dry and keeps you from staining or ruining the book you use to flatten the flower. It sort of wicks away the water, or else the flowers would just wither and rot like normal cut flowers tend to do." Vivi pulled out paper and offered it to Sierra. How many flowers was she planning on pressing anyway?

"Then you put them in a book to flatten them. You might want to pull out some of the middle petals in the rose so they can get really flat."

Snip....Snip...Snip...Snip.

So many roses were being cut off that it was starting to make his hands hurt a little. Especially when thorns occasionally penetrated his gloves. Merlin's pants, the things were bloody sharp!

Snip...Snip...Snip

He was sure that he would be done soon and then maybe he would look and see if there were other blue flowers that would work for the sky. Honestly, he was a lot more tempted to just head back to the castle and do something else... but he might as well stay out here and finish what he had started. It was all for Ness, so it was worth it.

When the last rose was placed into the basket, he picked it up and started back on his search for flowers. YAY.

Looking everywhere for nice blue flowers, he was having no luck at all. They were all the wrong shade, and it was making him rather frustrated. Sighing, he yet again contemplated heading back for a break. Turning to the left, he realized that he was standing by some really pretty yellow flowers. Buttercups. Well, at least he was having some luck finding more flowers.

If only he wasn't getting tired of working out here.

Entering the student garden in the greenhouses can always give the lioness a sense of comfort, maybe it comes from the beautiful and lovely scent from all those various flowers but it could always calm her down and brighten up her day. That's what flowers are meant for, with all those different colors and smell and different meanings they carry.

Tiffany then put on her gardening gloves as she walked a bit closer to the middle part of the garden, spotting a lovely flower itself. She touched its petals softly. It is in deep blue and it's the bellflower. She loves its color and also its shape, so she cut it carefully and placed it into her basket. Maybe she could send some back to her family and some to friends. She then walked along all the adorable plants and tried to find some more bellflowers but in different colors since it would be better if there are more colors in a gift that you are going to send to someone important to you.

With a big grin on her face, she searched for some white ones as she thought of the person that she was going to give these to. Actually she was not pretty sure about it, she had no idea at all. But at least she could think of it later on when she finished picking all the flowers up.

Since Logan was getting tired of being out here and cutting flowers off their stems, he honestly stopped really paying much attention to what he was doing. It was as if he was a robot, moving automatically.

Pick a nice looking flower. Cut it from its stem. Snip off leaves. Place in basket. Repeat.

Fortunately not too many yellow flowers were needed for this project, because he was using them to write 'Logessie' in the sky. He was hoping that it would make her smile, and she would understand why he was doing this for her.

When he was sure that he had enough yellow flowers, he picked his basket up and headed back to his quest to find more blue flowers to use as the sky. Coming upon some, hydrangeas, he stopped and smelled them all in turn. They were lovely, and made him want to use some for Ness' present.

Searching through the different colours available, he kept at it before finding the perfect shade of blue. Then placing his basket down again, he proceeded to cut them off their stems and place them into his basket. A fair bit was needed, and by the time he was finished, the basket was practically overflowing. Oh well.

Taking his gloves off, he picked the basket up again and started making his way back to the castle. He needed to be careful so that no flowers fell out.

Default Herbology Task Forse. Post#1 (collecting flowers)
Queen of Typos | The OTHER OTHER Roro | WICKED is Good

To get flowers and some plant stems, Cassia thought that the most obvious place is the garden. So there she went. Though, Cassia isn't fond of plants and she only signed up in this club so she could try and like them, she doesn't categorize flowers in the same category as Plants. She kinda likes flowers. Not love, like. Their smell doesn't make her dizzy like plants.

Anyway, As she entered the garden she glanced around to see that there were other students there. Well, people do come to gardens, she should try that. Looking around ,the Slytherin remembered that she didn't know what kind of flowers she wanted to collect. She wasn't really an expert in that field so she decided to choose by color. Whatever kind it was. Professor Bentley didn't ask for the kind..fortunately.

Pink flowers caught the second-years' attention. She crouched before them and nodded approvingly. They were different shades of pink which was even better! Cassia grinned and reached to PLUCK some of them. Then she remembered that she should TRY and deal properly with the plants. She sighed and started pulling flowers as gently as she could manage to. She should be given so many points for doing that in an attempt by her side to understand those things.

IT's not her fault that plant tried to EAT her when she was five. Cassia shook her head trying to dismiss the memory, though shaking the head had nothing to do with it technically but still. Cassia was smart enough to bring a sack with her to put the flowers in it. Yup she could think sometimes. After collecting enough pink roses the girl put them in a sack she had brought with her .Yup. Cassia was smart enough to bring a sack with her to put the flowers in it. She could think sometimes . She then rose to her feet and started wandering around a bit.

No she wasn't enjoying her time but she wanted to collect other flowers in another color that's all. She thought of coloring the same ones in different colors but the Professor won't appreciate it ,neither will the person who will receive them. So she had to find other ones.

Yellow and red caught her attention. She skipped to were the flowers were and collected some as well. And yup she did it gently.

With that the second-year snake left the garden satisfied of what she collected and glad that she didn't pass out from the smell and view of plants. Maybe not all plants try to eat people.

He took that wire mesh figure and made his way towards the Student Gardens, looking about carefully for a mid-sized pot that was also very light. When he found one he filled this with soil and fertilizer, moistening the earth just enough to prepare it for planting. He reached into the rucksack and brought out a packet of those quick growing flowers he saved up from the previous term.

He then started to strategically bury the seeds around the soil, then dug the stake with the wire mesh figure right in the middle of the pot, propping it up. He left pot in a place where the flower seeds will get enough sunlight and moisture, but where it wont get trampled on or poked around by the careless and the curious.

Here’s hoping his idea will work.
