RULES AND INFORMATION

☘︎ — You are welcome to roleplay in any of the Greenhouses, except for the Outskirts Greenhouses (ongoing project). The greenhouses are locked outside of classes, so if you want your character to roleplay inside of one, you can say Malaika authorized you and unlocked it for you. If you want any other IC addition, owl me!
☘︎ — Greenhouse Seven IC is restricted to students, so unless you are a Fifth Year and above, it is forbidden to your character. Fifth Years and Sixth Year must be accompanied by the Professor, or have her explicit permission. Third year are exceptionally allowed but only for the Mandrake Lesson, and only with the Professor.
☘︎ — If you truly wish to roleplay with a dangerous plant, or a plant found in Greenhouse Seven, then your character can break into this Greenhouse. This would require the Alohomora Charm, and would result in your character being auto-caught by Professor Omenuko and given detention. My permission is needed to roleplay your character breaking in, so please owl me if you want to be up to no good!
☘︎ — The plants found in each Greenhouse are described in the posts below. These are permanent residents, however we do have other plants that come and go depending on the season, so if you want your character to roleplay with another plant not featured in the list, you can! If it is a dangerous / rare plant, please owl me and we can discuss it. It would be great if you could respect each Greenhouse's biome while roleplaying with this new plant, but I won't chase you if you don't!
☘︎ — If you're confused about the layout, refer to the map!
☘︎ — Any questions or suggestions can be addressed in my owls or dms.

OUTSKIRTS GREENHOUSE — abandoned

History says it was once a greenhouse where any plants could thrive regardless of their native habitats. It was created by an unidentified Herbology Professor near the 1980s, and was meant to become the jewel of Hogwarts's Greenhouses. Those looked after the Outskirts Greenhouse were called the Outskirts Greenhouse Caretakers, and tending to its well-being was a full time-task, as it required a steady presence. Plants would only thrive if cared for by a skilled hand — someone who had the capacities, heart and commitment to make them fully blossom. Albus Dumbledore once evoked that the Outskirts Greenhouses had many secrets to share with its caretaker, and, like the plants that grew there, those secrets would blossom with time and care.

Throughout its history, several Professors or students had taken a keen interest in this Greenhouse, but time and time again it fell into disuse, abandoned once its caretaker had left the school grounds.

Nowadays, it proudly stands just behind the Main Greenhouse, brushed by the rays of the sun under the winds of Hogwarts's Grounds. Nature has once more conquered manmade structures, and plants have begun to slowly cover it in a dense green foliage, trees, vines and bushes merging with the faded glass of its walls. From the outside, it could be the remnants of an ancient city long forgotten, abandoned to the whims of nature. The glass has began to crackle at some places, and the entrance is completely buried under thick layers of invasive flora.

The door has been carefully locked by previous Professors, preventing anyone from stepping foot inside of its precarious structure. The ceiling could crumble at all times, and some vile magical plants have found a refuge in its darkened center, including a particularly nasty devil's snare, that covers half of the front door. Other things lurk beneath its roof, rumors claim to have seen moving shadows and loud knocks.

Despite its unappealing appearance, Malaika has taken an interest in the disused Greenhouse, and have several projects to, perhaps one day, restore it to its full glory. Until then, it remains a mythical figure of the Herbology Grounds, partially hidden behind vegetation and a never ending source of terrifying stories.
