This walkthrough covers Day 2 of Strange Horticulture, the Saturday when the Sisterhood and the grumpy Isidore Burbidge enter the story. It includes the overnight card, every map location, hints and the plant for each customer, including the first real choice of the game.
Strange Horticulture: Day 2 Walkthrough
Day 2, Saturday
This day has your first meaningful choice: what you give Isidore Burbidge on his second visit decides whether he comes back on Day 5.
Locations to visit:
- H11, River Duddon (overnight card): a new plant
- F13, Hard Knott slate mine (needs Clavilium): Bishop’s Parasol, Glowhorn and Fool’s Midnight
- J17, Grizedale Forest (needs Ren): Mellow-Glow and Shimmerlung
Starting Card
Hints:
- The card talks about a river in row H.
- Count the rivers that cross row H from left to right and pick the third one.
The third river is the Duddon. Travel to H11 for a new plant.
Customer 1: Isidore Burbidge
Hints:
- He only gives you the Latin name, Apis Demissus.
- Every book entry lists the Latin name under the common one.
Apis Demissus is Gandyroot.
Mailman: Amos Duncan’s Second Letter
Hints:
- Amos writes about an old slate mine at Hard Knott.
- The gate is locked. Read the book for a plant that is said to open locks.
Travel to F13 and use Clavilium on the gate. You come back with three fungi.
Customer 2: Reuben Ward
Hints:
- Reuben wants a plant that will help him talk to the Sisters.
- Look for the plant used as a sign of friendship with strangers.
Give Reuben Fox Button.
Customer 3: Victoria Gray
Hints:
- Victoria names the plant herself this time.
Give Victoria Harlequin Blue.
Customer 4: Bethany Coleman
Hints:
- Before she says anything, Bethany wants you sworn to secrecy with a plant.
- Search the book for a plant linked to oaths and silence.
Give Bethany Mary’s Breath.
Letter from the Sisterhood
Hints:
- The Sisters live deep inside Grizedale Forest.
- To learn what killed their Arda, you need a plant that reveals poison in the body.
Travel to J17 and use Ren. Helping is optional, but the Sisterhood’s story continues through the rest of the game if you do.
Customer 5: Isidore Burbidge Returns
Hints:
- His skin reacted badly to the last plant. One plant soothes rashes, another makes them worse.
Butterdale cures him and he never returns. Meakdew makes the rash worse and brings him back on Day 5 with a lawsuit. This choice does not change the ending you get.
