Idea for Alchemy Furnishings

Aziara

In ESO, we have many many achievement furnishing items. For zone quests, for PVP achievements, for festival achievements. Why not with alchemy achievements too?
There are already achievements built into the game that are unlocked when you learn all 4 effects of a reagent. This achievement does literally nothing at the moment. Let's make it do something! Give us static items that look just like the nodes in the wild, that are purchased from the alchemist vendors!
Many of the alchemy plants are beautiful, as well as useful. I could see Water Hyacinth or Columbine being used just for decor in a flowerbed. Or perhaps you would like to set up an alchemy garden for your alchemist. Or, maybe you'd like to plant nightshade in your assasin's yard -- or in the Erstwhile Sanctuary.
Heck, why stop there? Why not have the other crafting nodes have a static version sold as a furnishing? You could build your own mine, or have a cotton farm! Grow flax in your garden just because it's pretty. Use logs to simulate driftwood on a seashore... the possibilities are many.

I like the idea of the node mesh becoming a static furnishing. I can see issues with allowing harvesting in a home, but especially the plants would be nice to have, just as decor.

Ooh, I like this idea. It would be cool to have more flora.

I would love to have an alchemy shop with all the alchemy plants in vases!

Bonus: Have gatherin node furnishings be its own furnishing type. It'll help the item limit issue.

Bonus: give us the option to fill existing vases furnishings with water or soil. It would be a great new type of interactive furnishing that ONLY the house owner could toggle.

Many years ago, ESO announced introducing gardening to houses. The idea was scrapped.

I'd be happy with having the static items in our homes. Bugloss and Mountain Flower are gorgeous.

All the little mushrooms! I don't have a need for giant mushrooms, and there aren't many small mushrooms for decor. I can see people using them in their kitchens, gardens, alchemy labs.

Whoa! Any idea what happened there? I wonder why or if it'll ever come back

I'd be happy even with a mostly-aesthetic but interactive version that doesn't yield enough to make houses a farming spot or anything gameplay-breaking.
