Alain is a druid gardener in Taverley. He looks over the local tree patch, and accepts a payment to look after the planted tree. If players ask, he can chop down trees for those unwilling to chop down the trees themselves. To do this, he requests a payment of 200 coins.

In addition, Alain plays a role in the Garden of Tranquillity quest. As he is a member of the Group of Advanced Gardeners, he can be one of the gardeners talked to in the Fairytale I - Growing Pains quest.

Shop

Alain also sells basic farming tools, which can be accessed by talking to him and asking Can you sell me something?, or by the right-click Trade option.

Trivia

• If a player tries to use the charm option on Alain, he will not succumb and will comment that if the player uses it too much it will lead to their downfall.
• There was a glitch where, if Alain was on the coast south of the tree patch, and a player tried to make a payment for a tree, he would say "I would but there aren't any Farming patches around here to look after."
