Looking around him at the nearest plant’s Joshua said thoughtfully as he gestured at each plant section. "There are a handful of plants that could use a good trim, some need watering and some need some extra dragon dung added to their pots, but you aren’t wearing workrobes so do what you feel like unless you don’t mind if your clothes get dirty?" He had to ask since some girl’s we’re a bit picky about that.
Shaking his head Professor Wishart responded quietly. "No, sadly not everyone in the world is very knowledgeable about air pollution or all kinds of pollution for that matter so they don’t understand or care to understand many times how it affects both humans, plants and trees and creatures." Which was stupid.
"Don’t feel discouraged Stella. Keep talking and someone will eventually listen. If you can get just one person to listen and care about what you say about the environment then you will have maked a difference for the world. Maybe just because your a young girl that thinks strongly about something the adult’s will listen. Often times an adult is more likely to listen to what young girls like yourself say then to a senior professor for example. So keep fighting for what you believe in!" Professor Wishart encouraged.
Hearing a loud thump followed by a twack behind him Joshua turned on the spot and cried out as he made a beeline for the mandrake section of the greenhouse. "Oh no, no not the mandrakes again! I thought i had moved the troublemakers away from each other."
Stella looked up at him and smiled.
"Sure that'll be great, every little bit of help matters in the life of a plant!" she said in a matter of fact voice. She smiled happily, she was allowed to spend more time here besides just for classes, what better way to decompress after a long day of classes and homework? She couldn't think of anything better, she loved plants and animals. Ooh... she'll have to remind herself to stop by the barns and see the animals she was sure Professor Wayland could use some help as well.
Looking around she seen that he was right, aw... poor things, but she and Professor Wishart were here to make it all better. Deciding to do all three, she grabbed some gardening scissors and started cutting the dead loves off the a boincing bulb plant.
"I don't mind getting dirty Professor, besides I'm in my work and play clothes I wear these around the ranch at home all the time. " she said said putting down her scissors and feeling inside the plant it was a bit dry and could use some more dragon dung. Getting some dragon dung she added it before shd gotten out her wand and watered it.
"There we go little fellas, all cleaned watered and feed." she said smiling down at the plant.
Stella frowned sadly.
"Well that's just dumb and foolish of them, it's hurting them as well how can they not see that?" she asked sighing. She just wish people knew how much they were hurting plants and creatures as well as themselves, air pollution and pollution was a big problem and killing tons of plants and creatures it made her mad and sad. She tried doing everything she could, recycle as well as cut apart plastic that could hurt animals on land and the ocean. She remembered that her and her brother Phoenix along with their dad helped a owl who was stuck in a fishing line.
Stella looked up at him and smiled.
"I wanna make a difference in the world, one sinple act of kindness will make a difference in the world around us." she said cutting the dead leaves off Flutterby bush. The smell of the ocean coming to her, she shook her head.
"The scent is to attract the unwary right Professor?" she asked him. She was smelling a strong scent of the ocean and it smelled good.
Looking over at the mandrakes she giggled.
"Do they fight with each other Professor?" she asked looking at them. She knew quite a bit about these, but shouldn't they be wearing earmuffs?
"I thought their cries will knock you out Professor?" she asked him curiously.
