So I saw it mentioned pretty recently that no one had any idea what was going on with the greenhouse anymore, and upon finding the old page for it, I realized a good 99% of the characters who used to keep it up and pay attention to it have dropped. THEREFORE, I'm re-making this page to try and pull things together so they're not so ridiculous. Most of this (description, current plants, ect) will be copypasta'd from the
old post, but if anyone is still working, I'd appreciate updated information on that!
Since it seems no one else has stepped up, Italy and Sunao have taken over responsibility of the greenhouse. It's located on the Mariner High School Rooftop and is a bit worse for wear nowadays; there are more damaged glass panels, though some have been repaired with glass that is not necessarily the same color, wood, or sheet metal. But none of the repairs have fallen down and killed anyone (yet), so it works.
The soil is actually fertile here instead of the nasty acid poison dirt endemic to most of Discedo, too.
