In 1.2.0 Gardening works as a poor man's Herbalism for those characters possessing it but not the other (e.g. some Hurthlings). Applying the skill to an existing bush will only prompt you to harvest seeds if the bush is in blossom, otherwise it returns a message that "there's already an herb bush growing here and it's not ripe for harvest". This works even on unidentified bushes. Therefore, blossoming bushes can be picked twice, reducing them to withered state, and skill can be applied again to verify status once player suspects that two more herb generations have passed. Noteworthy advanced use. 99.100.48.211 14:15, October 13, 2014 (UTC)
Still works in places like Terinyo...Soirana (talk) 05:24, October 1, 2016 (UTC)
I was confused by this article and thought that you can grow herbs in outside areas only at floor tiles but I tried to plat herb seed in square pattern on the grass in Lawenilothehl and actually got herbs from it. So you can grow any herbs in starting towns. 31.163.251.238 11:01, January 5, 2018 (UTC)
