This makes the identification of some plants a little harder, but you will get used to it."
Astrid smile at the Professor, clearly happy to have answered correctly. She hoped that would have some time to stop by the greenhouses again this week. She was finding this all very interesting and she would love to be able to check on her plant's progress.

She looked over at Maddox. He was just putting the finishing touches on their planter and she smiled up at him.
"Looks like we're just about finished. It's beautiful, Maddox. Don't you agree?" she asked, as she added a little more soil to the planter.

Astrid grabbed the watering can when it seemed like all of the necessary soil had been added and watered their plant like instructed. When she was sure that they had done everything correctly, she pulled out her parchment and jotted down the homework assignment. Then she gathered up her things and headed for the door.
"Thank you professor, that was a wonderful lesson. Will we be able to check on our plants from time to time. I would truly love that." she said.
