Herbology

Overview
This class is required for all first, second, and third year students. Students obtain a thorough understanding of magical plants, from species identification to detailed care and maintenance. Some class period are spent collecting ingredients for Potions and Alchemy lessons. Herbological experts go on to such occupations as magical nursery or greenhouse owners and/or managers, consultants for the Ministry (or any number of other magical corporations or Potions Masters), Herbology teachers, breeders of rare (or experimental) plant species, and so forth.
