They may be able to provide some of the spells for you (not sure), but at the very least you need to cast beget bogun.

So, in theory, I can hire an NPC druid to create it and then use Beget Bogun to bring it to life. I lack the levels for one of the spells to create it. I could buy the scroll for said spell because I am more than half that caster level. I was just curious what an NPC could charge, given they would already have the spells.

So, in theory, I can hire an NPC druid to create it Ignore Complete Divine, use SpC p26. You can only hire them to make the mannequin. The price of the mannequin has no gold piece cost, but does require a DC12 check. If it were 1 gp cost, it would take half a day to make. So I would say allow for half a day and one skill check to make. You can not hire someone to make it a bogun. To make the bogun you need: 1) The mannequin. 2) Caster Level 7th. 3) Craft Wondrous Item feat. 4) One week. 5) Personally cast control plants, wood shape, and beget bogun (scrolls allowed.) If you do not meet all 5 requirements, you can't make a bogun.
