You've spent many years studying and growing plants under the guidance of your boss. In your shop you grow all types of plants (the dangerous ones are in the back under lock and key to prevent incidents). You, your boss and co workers use the plants you grow to make all types of things like soaps, candles, essential oils as well as potions and healing salves (with a healers note). With your scene of nature, you are able to take your fieldwork to almost every part of the globe, and you'll find few climates that aren't of interest.
