Picked Flora
Many of the flower specimens on the grounds and within the Manor can be picked, as documented here.
[Tamsine's Rest, Topiary Garden]
A flowering willow sways in the wind, scattering delicate small white petals along the smooth green lawn. Living statues, sculpted of yew, are posed at various points in this section of the garden. Beneath the flowering fronds of the willow tree, a topiary pegasus stretches its wings, pawing the earth with one dainty green hoof. A topiary unicorn stands with head lowered, as if cropping at the crimson roses which grow near a gap in the boxwood hedge.
Obvious paths: east, northwest.
Pickable:
[Tamsine's Rest, North Lawn]
Sunlight casts a warm glow across the dark green lawn. Near the house, primroses and sirese blossoms grow in cheerful profusion. A tall hedge borders the northern end of the lawn, towering higher than any Wind Elf. Dim shadows fill the hedge, flickering amidst the tangled mass of boxwood, as though some unseen being stalked within the shadowy maze.
You also see a gap in the hedge.
Obvious paths: east, southwest.
Pickable:
[Tamsine's Rest, Formal Garden]
Pale pink and yellow roses cling to the weathered brick wall which shelters the tiny rose garden at the rear of the abbey, their soft colors contrasting with the rust-colored bricks and the deep green moss which grows along the mortar lines. At the center of the garden, vivid crimson climbing roses twine about the white latticework of a charming gazebo.
Obvious paths: south, northwest.
Pickable:
[Tamsine's Rest, East Lawn]
A soft carpet of green grass rolls down the incline from the manor house along the eastern lawn. Goats browse along the narrow stream, cropping the grass and providing milk for the school's cooking classes. A weathered bridge spans the stream, leading away from the spacious lawn to a path into the woods on the other side. Beside the stream, yellow-bearded irises gently sway in the breeze.
You also see a weathered wooden bridge.
Obvious paths: north, southwest.
Pickable:
[Tamsine's Rest, Wooded Path]
Pale yellow beards decorate the throats of the purple and white irises growing along the edge of the stream. The flowers nod and bob with each passing breeze as if participating in a stately dance along the border of the white gravel path. Downstream, a gnarled willow tree can be glimpsed just around a bend, its pale green fronds gently floating in the current.
You also see a weathered wooden bridge.
Obvious paths: east.
Pickable:
[Boxwood Maze, Center]
Hidden deep within the maze is a rocky grotto, cool and moist. Spiders spin their webs undisturbed at the base of a bronze statue of a grotesque crone, poised with two gleaming swords against a silver lightning bolt. A tiny garden flourishes in the dim green light, filled with lacy white hemlock, bobbing purple monkshood and scarlet nightshade blossoms. The beauty of the delicate flowers belies their poisonous nature.
Obvious paths: out.

[Trevellyn's of Leth Deri'el, Women's Clothing]
Vases of roses have been placed upon marble pedestals about the edges of the room, the sweet scent perfuming the air and the clothing on display. Trevellyn's offers an ever-changing supply of fine garments, crafted by the students of the Abbey of Tamsine's Rest. You also see an ebonwood shoe tree with a couple of things on it, a skirt rack with a few things on it, a low table with several things on it, a lunat display with several things on it, an oak wardrobe, a group of wicker mannequins with several things on it and some sliding oak doors.

[Trevellyn's of Leth Deri'el, Upstairs Hallway]
Deep blue velvet hangs in graceful folds along the wall at the top of the stairs, forming a backdrop for an arrangement of flowers from the abbey gardens. The pale yellow roses nestle amidst deep green ferns in a sparkling crystal vase. To the east, a brass plaque has been mounted on a heavy oak door, while the upstairs hallway continues to the south.
You also see a graceful oak staircase.

[Trevellyn's of Leth Deri'el, Upstairs Hallway]
A crystal vase filled with pale blue sirese blossoms sits atop a polished satinwood table at the southern end of the hallway. Above it, the gentle glow of the moon illuminates a stained glass window, and reflects off the gleaming brass plaque mounted on the wall beside the oak door.
