Summary
Glados lived her life in sheer lines and meticulous execution. Everything from her appearance to her work to her interior design was intentional and precise, and this extended to her garden.
When she’d first moved in, she went through gardener after gardener, all yielding less than satisfactory results, before coming to the realization that if you want something done right, best to do it yourself. So that was how Glados found herself, on a few evenings during the week and several hours on weekends, elbow deep in potting soil or extracting weeds from pots and beds. She had a system, and it worked flawlessly for years.
Then she moved in.

After GLaDOS ejects Chell from the Enrichment Centre, she has only a meagre few months of peace and quiet before the human comes crawling back. GLaDOS doesn't immediately understand why she's back, but the scientific method has never failed her before.
