Herbology

"Greenhouse three today, chaps!" said Professor Sprout, who was looking distinctly disgruntled, not at all her usual cheerful self. There was a murmur of interest. They had only ever worked in greenhouse one before - greenhouse three housed far more interesting and dangerous plants. Professor Sprout took a large key from her belt and unlocked the door. Harry caught a whiff of damp earth and fertilizer mingling with the heavy perfume of some giant, umbrella-sized flowers dangling from the ceiling.

Being exposed to many unusual plants and strange parts of creatures for potion making (link to potions) and general Herbology is part of every day lessons at Hogwarts. (Note, although many ingredients appear from books four and up, only necessary and non-spoiler details are given.) Learn all about Mandrake, Devil's Snare, rosewood, sage, and streeler venom here!
