 The Indoor Garden
credit: hermionesclone The common room is less of a jungle than it was under its predecessor, but Professor Noble has maintained the tradition of an indoor garden for all Hufflepuffs to enjoy. As you enter, you’ll brush past a planter of chiming bluebells and lavender, the gentle sound and light scent emitted setting a relaxing vibe to the space. Woven seagrass matting makes it comfortable under foot, even for those venturing from the common room bare-foot. A vertical garden hangs on the wall, filled with edible flowers, herbs and potions ingredients. At the foot of the wall sits a raised bed, with a few remaining fruit bushes from Professor Myers - if you’re hungry, you might find blackberries, raspberries and strawberries ripe and ready to eat plucked straight from the bush.
There are a couple of work benches and a brewing area nearby, for those who want to do some planting of their own, or put the fresh supply of ingredients to good use. A book of suggested potions recipes by year group hangs on the wall, with blank pages for students to add their own. Whether to plant, brew or simply relax, this space offers a change of pace from the common room, and it’s left to the Hufflepuffs to maintain and curate as they wish. |
