She wasn't quite done with the herbs yet so Ella listened carefully to Bentley's instructions before adding a few more things to her list. She wanted to have options to work with, yeah? Many options.

Scribble. Scribble. Scribble.

Okay, time to pick some leaves. Ella set down her quill and grabbed for the basket, eyeing her list of herbs again. The first one she'd go for was Hawthorn, then Chamomile while she was up. She'd even decided to pick them by hand because she thought it'd be more of an experience than using her wand. Sometimes it was nice to do things without magic. Especially gardening things. It made her think of her Gran and good thoughts this time. She needed to hold on to those for reasons.

The hawthorn leaves were shiny, yeah? Ella eyed them curiously as she knelt in front of the shrub, basket sitting on the ground beside her. It was a bit thorny too. That meant she'd need her gloves. The seventeen year old summoned them and placed them on before she started to pick at the leaves, working very carefully so as not to damage the plant. When she'd finished, the blonde placed the leaves inside the basket and moved on.

Chamomile. Daisy-like plant, yeah? Ella wandered around the greenhouse in search of it and smiled a little when she recognized the herb. She then set to work gathering leaves that she could dry. She even hummed a little as she worked because it was good for the plants, yeah? Maybe it'd put them at ease while she was picking from them. Maybe.
