Herbology Club Information Session and Application




Welcome to the Herbology Club!





Hi, I am your club leader, [livejournal.com profile] mhookermyers.

Please find a seat and we will get started with the information session about the Herbology Club.

First off, let's go over the...
Rules:
  1. As always, please observe the common rules in [community profile] hh_clubs here.

  2. You must be a member of [community profile] hogwartsishome! If you're not a member of the main community, you cannot participate here. It goes without saying that you should also be a member of [livejournal.com profile] hh_clubs, too.

  3. Please make sure your house is in your comment somewhere (subject line, signature tag, or at the end of your comment), so you can get credit for what you do here!

  4. Do not make separate posts for comments, concerns, or suggestions about the club. There is a special post for them, so, make them here. I am very open to suggestions. I love to get suggestions. So, please, please don't be shy!

  5. Respect all members, moderators, and club leaders. If you have a problem, come to either myself or a moderator.

Anyone who is interested in joining the club, please fill out an application and turn it in before you leave.

One quick note about the...
Application:
This application is so that we can get to know each other better. Since the old Herbology Club never had an application (or at least one I could not find), I expect all members, new and old, to complete this application. (I have mine posted below). No one will be rejected from membership unless you have not been sorted, or you are not currently a member of [community profile] hogwartsishome.

(Just copy and paste the application from below answering all
of the questions. Please leave all the HTML tags in place.)




As a club we are allowed to have as many activities/contests as you, the members, would like to have, but only one of them a month can be for points. I would also like to have at least one discussion activity a month and if it turns out that all of you would like to have more of them, I will be more than happy to set it up. I would like to see everyone participate in the activity for points because it will help with the upkeep of the membership list. I will try to keep the activities we do for points to something everyone can do, such as a scavenger hunt, research project, or something that doesn't require a specific application to accomplish (i.e., Photoshop).

For now, I will be posting new activities on Sunday night and ending them either on Thursday or Friday night, depending on the activity.

If you decide you no longer want to be a member of this club, please let me know as a comment below, and I will take you off the membership roster.

Please remember that this is a place to get together with others and have fun!! All dirt and manure of the emotional kind should be left at the door. The only dirt and manure that should be in this room is the kind that we use to grow beautiful plants.

Lastly, if you have any issues or concerns you feel I need to know about but don't want to comment here on Live Journal, please feel free to email me at mhookerm@gmail.com.

I hope this was informative for you and have peaked your interest enough to join our club!!

Name and username: Well because you specifically asked for both. I'll let you know. Courtney, and Amaryllis.

House:
Ravenclaw

What is your favorite plant?:
Haha...you may have guessed that it is the Amaryllis plant, yes? But actually it's the agapanthus or Lily-Of-The-Nile. I'm not very good with all this technical stuff, but basically it's a bush most of the year, and then long slender stalks with buds on top come out, and then they burst into a big firework of small flowers, usually white or lavendar. Best Plant Evar. Well, except for gigantic trees, like Redwoods, or Sequoias.

Is your interest in herbology for enjoyment,
for practical reasons
(i.e., cooking), or both?: Enjoyment. Clean air and beautiful plants are hard to come by in smoggy Southern California, and i like nothing better than to get away for the weekend, go to the mountains, and lie down on a hillside somewhere where there are huge trees, birds singing, and clean air. I don't like the bugs though. *wrinkles nose*

What is your main interest in joining this
club
(meet others with same interest, learning,
fun, etc), explain?: I am trying to get more involved in HiH, so I joined hih_clubs, and Herbology club seemed like an obvious one to get involved with. Plants = love. ^_^

House:Hufflepuff

What is your favorite plant?:I like a few plants but they're mostly those with bright flowers. I may have been an insect in my past life (though I don't personally believe in past lives, but still), I don't know. One of my favourites would be the morning glory. I love the fact that it adapts to its surrounding and would climb fences and all that to survive.

Is your interest in herbology for enjoyment,
for practical reasons
(i.e., cooking), or both?: Mainly enjoyment. I'm a Biology student, and I hope to continue doing life sciences in uni later this year. So all types of living things and their behaviour appeal to me.

What is your main interest in joining this
club
(meet others with same interest, learning,
fun, etc), explain?:Have fun, make friends and learn something along the way XD

Name and username: Bobbie Jo, [livejournal.com profile] fieryrogue

House: Ravenclaw

What is your favorite plant?: I love all kinds of plants, and many I don't even know what they are called (maybe this is why I need to be in Herbology Club) but I think at present I would say jasmine if only because I recently bought some jasmine tea and it smells incredibly gooooood.

Is your interest in herbology for enjoyment,
for practical reasons
(i.e., cooking), or both?: Oooh, both. Plants are quite exciting as they are, that is beautiful and vastly different from each other, but also because they are useful in a practical sense too. I love them for looks and I love them for usefulness. Yay!

What is your main interest in joining this
club
(meet others with same interest, learning,
fun, etc), explain?: Learning about anything and everything, meeting people for sure and just to get involved in Hogwarts activities! (My first club membership, eeee!)

Is your interest in herbology for enjoyment,

What is your main interest in joining this club (meet others with same interest, learning, fun, etc), explain?: Uhm, to win points for Slytherin. Because to be honest, while I know a bit about plants were I truly a student at hogwarts I probably would have burned down the greenhouse. thankfully this is all over cyberspace. I want to win points for Slytherin and maybe I'll learn a few things along the way!

Name and username: Shaina / hoarilysatan

House: Huffelepuff

What is your favorite plant?: Man, this is quite the question. My favorite plants are in the Salvia family. I am just in love with all forms of Salvia. If forced to choose I would have to choose Salvia guaranitica “black and blue”. I just love this plant. Those black buds that open to a bright cobalt are so interesting. It is also a wonderful garden plant, and definitely adds that “zing” to a garden bed.

Is your interest in herbology for enjoyment,
for practical reasons
(i.e., cooking), or both?: I am a HUGE plant nerd, and proud of it. I work in a nursery, and could not imagine working in any other field. My family is very much involved in the industry, and I grew up with horticulture being a large part of my life. I also garden in my free time, and greatly enjoy growing herbs for many uses. I have an extinctive collection of healing/culinary plants, and although I am no cook, I love having the option there.

What is your main interest in joining this
club
(meet others with same interest, learning,
fun, etc), explain?: I think I would have a lot to add to any discussions, and just love talking about my favorite topic. It would be a wonderful way to bring my interests together, and I am super excited about it. I did notice that you have an opening for a club leader, and I would Love to offer my time for that as well. This is a very trial by error interest, and I am always on the lookout for new information.
All in all, I am very excited about joining, and can’t wait to get started!
