When not in use for classes, several of the greenhouses that are located on the school grounds are open for private and independent research and study. In fact, this is highly encouraged.

Within the unlocked doors of the greenhouses you will find rows and rows of plants. The greenhouses contain a wide variety of plants - both magical and mundane. Want to practice your pruning skills? Why not practice on the Abyssinian Shrivelfig of a Flutterby Bush? Or perhaps you want to harvest some Puffapod seeds- just don’t drop them! -- unless you want to of course.

Unfortunately the stores cupboard is quite bare. Under normal circumstances a variety of resources would have been at your fingertips, but it seems as though the items have been sold and pawned off. There are no seeds, or dung or meat scraps here, and there is only a single pair of large dragon hide gloves on a dusty shelf. If you borrow it, remember to return it.

Remember Professor Bentley likes to take regular strolls through the greenhouse to check on things. So make sure you wear your protective gear and behave yourselves accordingly.

SPOILER!!: Greenhouse Index

1 - VARIOUS including: toadstools, bubotubers, mimbulous mimbletonia
2 - VARIOUS including: creeping ivy (Wasima), fire seed bushes, venomous tentacular, screechsnap, polypody
3 - VARIOUS (largely floral) including: flutterby bushes, puffapods, angels trumpets, umbrella flowers, bouncing bulbs, snarfalumps, wiggenbush
4 - VARIOUS including: fanged geranium, piranha plants, bloodroot, chinese chomping cabbage, mixed herbs
5 - VARIOUS - ARID including: various cacti and grasses
6 - VARIOUS - AQUATIC including: gillyweed, sea lavender, sea cucumbers and coral
7 - VARIOUS - TROPICAL including: cobra lilies, albany pitcher, venus flytraps, poke weed and fire vine
8 - VARIOUS - RESTRICTED ACCESS: includes various flesh-eaters and various dangerous plants including snargallufs, midnight magnolia, dragon trees and mature mandrakes

NOTE: This is not an exhaustive list, it's just to give you an idea of what can be found in each greenhouse. Greenhouse 8 is restricted, locked and enchanted and may only be accessed with Professor Bentley. Any attempt to post that your charrie has broken in, will result in your posts being deleted.


Raven realized she had a lot of work to do for Herbology compared to her other classees, but reveled in this fact since she had a love for plants and animals. Before digging in her heels she decided to start with an easy task in Greenhouse 1. Washing the window panes. Taking out her dragon hide cloves out of her pack putting them on, she realized that her wand would probably be a better option then washing them manually. But then she realized the lesson about the tea. She realized this was the perfect opportunity to put her magical knowledge to the test. She needed to make a cleaning solution using the tea. She needed to go to her room to get her couldron to mix the solution in. She exited the greenhouse and decided she would return as soon as possible.

Raven easily returned to the greenhouse with her cauldron full of her tea cleaning solution and she began to manually wash the window panes with a dirty rag that was sitting on some shelves. The windows did look cleaner though it would have helped to know a cleaning charm. She needed to brush up on her skills in the library she realized. After cleaning the windows in Greenhouse 1 she decided to ask Professor Bentley how they looked before doing any more.

Raven walked back over to the windows. She wanted to dry them before the tea left water droplets all over them. She said "Siccus Aerous" and the windows dried off while doing the clockwise hand motion. She also used the spell on the rag and it dried too. "Wow this spell comes in handy." She used the spell on the cauldron as well to heat up the solution. She might as well clean the other greenhouse windows while she was at it. She needed to perfect the spell before her next Herbology lesson.
