Putting it that way, it sure does sound like the other has actual experience with gardening. After all, Alice comes here often enough to look at the flowers, but there's no way she'd know about any of these details without actual gardening knowledge.

But she does what the other says. Tying the string around it, trying to find the right balance of not too loose, nor too tight. (Which is hard, honestly, when your base setting definitely leans towards too tight at all times.)

It takes maybe an attempt or two, but then it's around the stem, and Alice leans back again.

"There. I think it should be alright like this? Though I have no idea how much taller it'll grow."
