Who: Haru & YOU.
Where: Haru's Garden on the outskirts of the forest or the mansion garden.
When: Day 88 ( pls correct me if i'm wrong on the day)
Open/Closed: Open to all! But there will be a few closed prompts in here!

[Now that everyone is back on the island hub, the work begins again. For at least the last couple of days Haru has been going in-between two gardens and making sure that she is prepared for the worst. One garden she hadn't even had a chance to start planting... the other? Well, it was in a sad state. The already sad looking mansion garden just looked sadder without her there to take care of it.

If one would happen to find her in the mansion garden, she will be on her hands and knees pulling a monstrous amount of weeds out of the garden. She looks a little worn out and perhaps that is to be expected for a huge garden that got completely out of hand while she was away.

At some point she is sending out a mental message to anyone in her vicinity:]

This is Haru speaking, if someone is free... could they come to the mansion garden? I think I may need a hand out here. Thank you!

[Later on in the day if someone were to find her in the garden by the outskirts of the forest, she is still preparing the ground and the soil for a project garden. It's a hard job to do by yourself, but Haru wasn't about to drag someone out here to do it with her if they didn't want to.]

I don't mind at all, and anything you don't know... I'll be more than willing to instruct.

[She pats a spot on the ground next to her. Motioning Jake to join her.]

[Jake crouches down with her.]

Well, I only really know the basics... I'm good at identification, though! But I guess that doesn't mean a lot in the planting process.

Identification is an excellent start! We can use that knowledge here to know what plants can go where.

[Haru is impressed!]

Grandma once told me that was how they did it back in the old days. They, um, would look at the shades of colour on a plant and it told them the PH level in the soil.

Oh, wow. That's such an age old way of doing it. That's pretty impressive.

[Hmm~. Throwing away more weeds.]

If you could have a choice of what to plant here... what would you choose?

[Good question. He gives a hum of thought as he pulls.]

I guess flowers are a little impractical when we need to worry about food... Oh, but you know, watermelon would be nice! I hear it's quite tasty and hydrates you, too.

That sounds like a great idea. I wonder if there would be a way to get watermelon seeds to grow.

[Perhaps one day she will inquire with Genette about that. Watermelons didn't need much supervision, right?] Though, if we wanted a flower garden... we could pick flowers that have other needs than just being pretty?

Oh, yes, that's a wonderful idea. Really using your noggin! I know many flowers have herbal uses.

[Though it just occurred to him actually...]

You really like gardening a lot, huh? Even before it would have been useful to us.

It's a hobby. I like gardening for my own pleasure and I like gardening to help people. I guess you could say it kind of developed from there.

[She laughs a little, scratching the back of her head.

She's just...so glad.]

My grandma was a world famous botanist, so I've always fancied plants, though I'm no green thumb myself. Finding plants is worlds away from tending to them.

Oh goodness, that's pretty amazing.

[She's almost jealous.] I'll make a green thumb out of you yet.
