Hogwarts: A Curriculum - Herbology

Herbology comprises four main areas of study: Botany (plants’ physiology and classification); Horticulture (the art of cultivation and plant maintenance); Herbalism (the medicinal use of plants); and Ecology (plants’ relations to one another and their environments). Students will study all four aspects of Herbology at both a practical and theoretical level, taking advantage of the copious natural habitats and microhabitats around Hogwarts and its environs, as well as the rare and non-native specimens cultivated in Hogwarts’ greenhouses. First Year 1. Botany: Common native wild plants (names and classification; identification and observation; plant anatomy and physiology) 2. Horticulture: Plant lifecycles (seeds and bulbs; germination and growth; survival and reproduction) 3. Ecology: Habitats and microhabitats (basic food chains; evolution and adaptation; wizard and muggle impacts on changing environments) Including preparation of soil, growing plants from seed, and basic safety precautions. Second Year 1. Botany: Common non-native plants (names and classification; identification and observation; plant anatomy and physiology) 2. Horticulture: Plant lifecycles (light, air and water; nutrition and growth; pollination and seed dispersal) 3. Ecology: Wild harvesting (good practice techniques and gathering ingredients sustainably; diversity of flora in local habitats; ecological connections) Including soil testing, ways of providing nutrients, foraging, and tool management. Third Year 1. Botany: Unusual wild and cultivated plants (names and classification; identification and observation; plant anatomy and physiology) 2. Horticulture: Plant lifecycles (sexual and asexual reproduction; growing from seeds, tubers, bulbs and cuttings) 3. Herbalism: Methodologies (common herbs and their functions; gathering and storing herbs; simple herbal remedies) Including basic potions and spells for plant growth and maintenance, propagation, and brewing. Fourth Year 1. Botany: Psychotropic plants (names and classification; identification and observation; plant anatomy and physiology) 2. Horticulture: Growth (leaves and photosynthesis; roots and nutrients; leaves and gas exchange) 3. Herbalism: Herbaria (plants for healing; seasonality and the lunar cycle; botanical illustration; pressing and drying plants) Including selecting and planning growing areas, pruning, and preparation and presentation of Herbaria. Fifth Year 1. Horticulture: Reproduction (flower structure; wind and insect pollination; fertilisation; fruit formation; seed dispersal) 2. Herbalism: Physic gardens (origins and history of the physic garden; designing and maintaining physic gardens; principles and practice of organic, biodynamic, and magical growing) 3. Ecology: Ecosystems (biodiversity; identification and measuring distribution, frequency and abundance; wizard and muggle interactions with ecosystems) Including planning and maintaining growing areas, growing methodologies, and Physic Diaries. Sixth Year 1. Botany: Dangerous wild and cultivated plants (names and classification; identification and observation; plant anatomy and physiology) 2. Horticulture: Health and disease (bacteria and viruses; preventing spread of infectious diseases) 3. Herbalism: Pharmacology (herbs and healing compounds; properties of herbs and their safe preparation; herbal recipes and formulations) Including safety and precautions, identifying diseases, and further brewing techniques. Seventh Year 1. Botany: Evolution, inheritance, and variation (genetic variation; natural selection; evolution; selective breeding) 2. Herbalism: Materia Medica (further plants for healing; preparation of tinctures, infusions, and syrups; floral healing) 3. Ecology: Conservation (history and development; impact of muggle and wizard activity; local and international preservations; successes and failures) Including advanced brewing techniques, fertilisation aids, and practical conservation. more: History of Magic Muggle Studies Potions

Happy frog day!

Well,

I wish you all a very pleasant March 20th

Fwiw while you can flood the abortion snitch internet hotline with lorem ipsum and memes, it is probably way more effective to make credible but vague claims that take time to sift through. Put in a valid county and zip code. The goal isn't to scream "fuck you" even if it's how you feel, the goal is to waste their time and make it as miserable and difficult as possible for anyone who has to go through these claims to act on them

Normalize asking before touching. Don't get me wrong, i love when people lean on me and stuff, but i personally need to ask before i lean on people, and they're always taken aback like "why are you asking" because it's not obvious. It's not obvious to me that i can lean on you. It's not obvious to me that you're okay with it.

Hell, sometimes I'm really not in the mood for people to touch me. Other times i crave it. Normalize consent, not only for sex.
