The Gardens
The Walled Garden is a quiet, private courtyard enclosed by high stone walls and a small moat, crossable by a small stone bridge. Once inside, a network of straight paths, lined with manicured shrubs, fragrant rose bushes and flowers make for a perfect retreat. Small patches of grass, ready for a picnic, are tucked behind the greenery, offering a quiet escape. At the heart of the garden lies an intricate, ever changing hedge maze, a place where many a first-year has gotten hopelessly lost.

The Greenhouses
The Hogwarts Greenhouses are a series of seven warm, humid glass buildings on the castle grounds where students attend Herbology classes. The air inside is thick with the scent of damp soil and exotic plants, many of which have magical properties and require protective gear to handle. Students learn how to care for and utilize these plants, ranging from common lavender to more dangerous, rare species.

The Whomping Willow
The Whomping Willow is a large, extremely violent tree planted on the Hogwarts grounds. Its branches lash out at anything that gets too close. The willow is a magical guardian, protecting a secret passage at its base that leads to the Shrieking Shack. Many a first year gets tricked into playing the game, ‘Can you touch the trunk?’

The Castle Gate
The main castle gate is made of beautiful wrought iron, flanked by two stone columns. Statues of winged boars stand guard, sitting atop the columns watching those that request entry. The gates are opened on the first day of term for students to be taken by Thestral-drawn carriages to the castle.
