From:

Witherbloom, the College of Essence Studies, mages draw power from opposing and rival forces, with the best example being life and death. These mages brew their spells from natural components and the essence of living creatures, using that power to heal or harm the living or raise or entreat the dead. They can cause entire forests to blossom out of nowhere or call down old curses that scourge flesh from bone. Some Witherbloom mages defend ecosystems from pollution, while others revel in the power of corruption. The curriculum of Witherbloom College focuses on various sciences, revolving around life sciences. Biology, ecology, botany, chemistry, and the related sciences combine with the study and manipulation of the primal forces of life and death. Witherbloom's curriculum shares some overlap with Quandrix's analysis of the mathematical patterns in nature.

Looking at a map of Witherbloom, the three places to visit are:
The Sedgemoor ishe bayou area that encompasses the Witherbloom campus. It's is known for a range of strange swamp beasts: undead animals, bats, crocodilian monsters, decomposing bayoustriders called trudges, and marsh-dwelling canine beasts called bogroffs. Sedgemoor is an excellent place to find pests, herbs, spider silk, fungi, and other potent ingredients for potions and spells. Necroluminescence is common among the undead creatures of Sedgemoor, giving the midnight swamp an eerie glow.

The center of the Witherbloom campus is Widdershins Hall, a kind of bog mansion that looks like it was grown out of Sedgemoor itself. Widdershins is a network of interconnected wooden pods with planked walkways leading out of it like the tentacles of some kind of swamp creature. Widdershins Hall has a cozy inner chamber where professors bring together student witches for classwork.

Wiltroot Hall, otherwise known as 'the Witch's Clinic' are Witherbloom's medical facilities, where students from all campuses are invited to come for medical aid, provided by Witherbloom faculty, staff, and students. Not many do.

There is also the Detention Bog, but you probably don't want to visit there. It is a stinking, thoroughly unpleasant marshland adjacent to the Sedgemoor, plagued by cantankerous creatures called vineclingers. Witherbloom professors send misbehaving students here as punishment, but it's also an excellent place to gather herbs for certain powerful cures and curses
