Navigating Botany Manor Chapter 1

Locating the Herbarium and Accessing the Second Chamber

The chapter commences in a greenhouse, featuring shelves and a central table. To commence plant growth, players must interact with various items within the room:

1. Review the Letter from the Groundskeeper placed on the nearest table wall.

2. Unwrap the Parcel adjacent to the letter. The Parcel, addressed to Arabella from Somerset, provides a crucial clue. Inside, players discover the Herbarium book, a vital tool for recording clues throughout the chapter.

Delve into the Herbarium's initial pages for essential information, including a chapter index and mapping details. Proceed through the open stained glass door to access the second chamber of the conservatory.

Cultivating Windmill Wort

The next task involves planting and nurturing Windmill Wort before exiting the conservatory. This process, beloved by fans of relaxing puzzles, demands careful execution. To cultivate Windmill Wort in Botany Manor, adhere to these steps:

1. Hunt for three clues within the room aiding in Windmill Wort's growth:

• A postcard from Marianne in Sicily and a newspaper hinting at dense smog.
• A temperature chart on the chalkboard detailing ideal temperatures for plant growth, including Windmill Wort.
• A poster labeling Windmill Wort as a volcanic plant, serving as the final clue.

2. Access the Herbarium and input the three clue notes from the Windmill Wort page.

3. Refer to the potting instructions on the left table, detailing the planting process. Utilize soil from the right bag, fill the pot in the center, and proceed to add Windmill Wort seeds from the wooden drawers.

4. Water the seeds with the blue watering can to initiate germination. Monitor the seedling's growth by examining the pot. However, further growth necessitates an additional step.

5. Adjust the red circular valve near the window to reach the optimal 60-degree temperature for Windmill Wort growth, as indicated in the postcard.

6. Place the Windmill Wort pot in front of the Heat Vent on the far right table side. Activate the Heat Vent with the red button to nurture the plant into a magnificent, fully bloomed Windmill Wort.

With Windmill Wort flourishing, the fog obstructing the conservatory's exit dissipates, granting players freedom to depart. Exiting leads to a picturesque garden with diverse hedges, allowing players to admire the conservatory's grandeur.

Stepping into the garden marks the completion of Botany Manor Chapter 1, paving the way for Botany Manor Chapter 2. Subsequent chapters introduce the cultivation of plants like Pixie Tears and Wolfglove as players unravel the mysteries encompassing all plant species within the Manor and its grounds.
