hh_clubs | Herbology Club Information Session and Application

Welcome to the Herbology Club!

Hi, I am your club leader,

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:

As always, please observe the common rules in hh_clubs here.

You must be a member of 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 hh_clubs, too.

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!

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!

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

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!!

What is your favorite plant?: Anything that I can't kill. ^^; Specifically, it's probably the 6 year old Christmas Cactus that's in my appartment that's probablty dying right now. (It desperatly needs new soil and a new pot.) Also, I love bulb-type flowers, especially tulips and hyacinths. (sp?)

Is your interest in herbology for enjoyment,
for practical reasons (i.e., cooking), or both?: Well, I definatly don't have a green thumb, so I'd like to learn how to better take care of my plants both indoors and outdoors. Also, I'd love to get tips on planting bulbs in their own pots outside (I live in an apartment, and that would be easiest for me) and all that other stuff about forcing and then planting them in the spring. Also, herbs used in cooking is something I'd especially like to learn more about, since I feel kinda' low on that knowledge level. A simple herb or spice can do a lot for foods! Also, I'd love to learn which herbs or plants make good teas. (I love tea!)

What is your main interest in joining this
club (meet others with same interest, learning,
fun, etc), explain?: Basically, I'd like to learn more about the upkeep of plants and such (see above). However, I always love to meet and chat with others who share the same interests! House points are always a plus. (; Eventually, I'd love to have my own house with a nice garden with herbs and flowering plants and trees. (I hate to throw out the Arbor Day offers for the 10 free floweing trees! T_T)

Welcome to the club!

When we got the house we're in now, it had a large collection of bulb-type plants; daffodils, tulips, and crocuses (or is that croci?). Funny thing is I know I am suppose to do something with them in the fall, what, I don't know, but every year they come back just as beautiful as the year before. So, I must be doing something right.

Wow! You're so lucky that they come back every year. Do bulbs work like that? What is it that you do with them?

Also, what happened to the club banner? It's not showing up. *quirks brow*
