Before we start any learning purpose, we start with its basic and with this here you come what actually is Herbology?
Herbology is the study of plants along with magical and non-magical(mundane)plants . Herbology can be used for medical purposes, educational purposes, protective purposes, caring purposes. The one who understands/studies the properties and nature of a plant is actually known as a Herbologist but some abrupt or you can say , illiterate persons refers these Herbologists as 'herbies' or common gardeners.
When we come to the point that why Herbology is important to us there are many uses of this subject, such as:

☆ it tells us the difference between each and every plant and what is its actual uniqueness.
☆ it can be used to recognize the different kind of wand cores we use today.
☆ it can make us a little bit clear in the differences of each ingredient used in the other subject Potion.
☆ this subject can help us to be our own doctor/healer as well.

In brief, if we won't know the correct knowledge of Herbology, this world would be a danger zone for us.
Many people misunderstood this form, as I mentioned above every plant have its own personality and own uniqueness, just like you!
One thing we should always keep in mind whether it's a magical or a mundane plant, we should respect and in return it will respect you too, however it won't say you polite words like ' please water me my lord' or anything else. Respectin in this case means, it will give you its benificial more nicely such as an English Rose can cure your skin burns.

BASIC EQUIPMENTS

The basic equipments of herbology can be split into 2 main categories.
the first one is for your protection which includes dragon hide gloves, earmuffs and a wand.

The second one is for your plants caring which includes Dragon dung, Mooncalf dung and Centaur tears.
Well the first set is clear, you need dragon hide gloves so that your hands are clean and are not messed up in the soil, you need earmuffs because some plants cries a lot ( just like mandrakes) and at last you need a Wand so that you can conduct some spells which will be covered in the lesson. Let it be noted, if you don't use these protective equipments you can be caught up by danger.

While our first part of equipments is clear let us now move into the plant caring section:

1. DRAGON DUNG: this dung is obtained from a stool of any fire breathing dragon. This dung is used as a fertilizer for the soil and well as for compost in order to make more organic fertilizers. this dung is always scentless.
2. MOONCALF DUNG: it is also a fertilizer but is less prefer for planting than dragon dung. Moon calf dung is used for caring the most sensetive plants. Mooncalf dung is not much powerful as compared with dragon dung.
3. CENTAUR TEARS: these tears are obtained from centaurs. They are considered more nutritious than water. Centaur tears are capable of retrieving a plant moments from death. Let it be noted never water a plant which grows in salt water with Centaur tears.
