In-Game Text
"Here, where the world is quiet;
Here, where all trouble seems
Dead winds' and spent waves' riot
In doubtful dreams of dreams;
I watch the green field growing
For reaping folk and sowing,
For harvest-time and mowing,
A sleepy world of streams."
– Algernon Charles Swinburne, The Garden of Proserpine
Horticulture is the formal study of plant growing. Having mastered both the science of botany and the art of of gardening allows a Pilgrim to undertake the more proper ways of caring for plant life. With an increased knowledge of care given to the harvest process. Horticulture decreases the time it takes for a potted plant to reach maturity.
How to Plant in a Gardening Pot

 Potable Water and left-click it onto your Gardening Pot. A Gardening Pot can hold up to 1L of Potable Water. Each planting will reduce the filled amount by .20L.
- Select the Potable item you wish to plant and left-click it onto your Gardening Pot. Planting in Gardening Pots lowers Insanity.
- Wait 3 days. Learning the Horticulture and Green Thumb Skills, as well as using the Store bought
 Gardener's Pot will reduce the time for plants to ripen.
- Once ripe, the plant's model will change. The Yield for non-bushes and Trees is two, unless you had the Store bought
 Garden Shovel equipped when planting in which case the default Yield is 3. When planting you will receive a bonus Yield which is determined by chance and your  Herbs & Sprouts Proficiency. You will see your bonus Yield pop up in green as you add your Potable plant. At any point you may check the current Yield by right-clicking on your planted Gardening Pot.
- Ripe plants can now be picked by right-clicking the Gardening Pot and selecting "Pick". Bushes and Trees which have sprouted can be planted by

Gardening Purity
Three factors influence Gardening Purity. The Purity of the Humus, the Purity of the Plant, and the Purity of the Gardening Pot. The Harvested Plant will be the average Purity of these three factors weighted towards the Humus. The formula is: Resulting Plant = ((Humus*2)+Pot+Initial Plant)/4. Any time the Resulting Plant's Purity is higher than the Gardening Pot's, the Gardening Pot's Purity will permanently increase by up to 2.56%. You may check your Gardening Pot's Purity by right-clicking it.
