Scratches Hints

1 of 5: It would seem natural that shears would be kept somewhere in the greenhouse.
2 of 5: Explore both levels of the greenhouse, looking for any "hot spots" where you might interact with something.
3 of 5: Notice the desk on the second floor of the greenhouse.
4 of 5: It has two "active" drawers -- one on the left side, and one on the right.
5 of 5: The shears are in the drawer on the right side of the desk.
