The notice had been tacked to the board in the Palace with surprisingly neat script:
Ah, the greenhouse: where the unseasonable warmth felt downright balmy and the green, growing things kept the humidity high. Fruits, vegetables, and herbs grew in profusion within the large glass enclosure but there was evidence of overgrowth and neglect in some areas where the foliage grew rampantly thick and obscuring, blocking the paved paths between beds. Small trees reached towards the clear roof, seeking sunlight and fighting for leafy dominance while bushes of plump berries filled in below, blocking access to the tree trunks. Several of the vegetable patches had lost their placards beneath thickly tangled leaves and runners.
There was the occasional odd rustling from the undergrowth, but it was largely overshadowed by the constant trickle of snowmelt used to feed the watering troughs and little pools used to keep the plants happy and healthy.
Tal was stripped down to his long sleeves with the cuffs rolled up in the entrance of the greenhouse, looking downright scrawny without his parka. He had brought a couple of baskets, some trowels, and some shears along with a couple of longer knives which he pulled out of his bag of holding and laid out in easy reach of anyone who showed up. Then he stood around scowling awkwardly with his hands in his pockets, waiting to see who would come.
Welcome to a Halovian LongNight prep PQ! We all need some fruits and beans and leafy greens to keep away the rickets this time of year, amiright? Looks like the greenhouse has gotten a little out of hand, too! Why not kill two ningo with one stone and neaten the place up while gathering supplies for those LongNight dinners with the family?

LongNight's coming and the greenhouse needs some trimming. Come and help, and get some fresh fruit and veggies for the dark week while you're at it. I'll start at noon in two days.
