They can be found all over the world in {{L|grass}}y areas, {{L|savanna}}s, {{L|forest}}s, and {{L|desert}}s. They will also sprout on soil and {{L|mud}}dy stone underground if there are "spores" in the air from an {{L|underground river}} or {{L|Underground pool|pool}}. Shrubs are instrumental for {{L|plant gathering}}, and in environments with a significant amount of {{L|vegetation}} they can be an excellent supply of food. Gathering shrubs also serves to provide a supply of {{L|seed}}s for use in planting surface {{L|crops}}, such as {{L|longland grass}} and {{L|wild strawberry}}. |

Early on, shrubs are an important source of seeds for growing an above ground {{L|farm plot}}. Harvesting subterranean shrubs grown on a smoothed floor will make the floor rough. |

Dwarves with the herbalist labor enabled and little else to do will rush out and start trying to gather plants. When an herbalist attempts to collect plants from an aboveground shrub, there is a high probability that he or she will fail to glean anything usable from it, regardless of their skill; underground shrubs, however, will always yield usable plants. There is usually plenty of available vegetation however, so designate a wide area and leave them to it. |

Brewing or eating (but not cooking) plants will produce seeds, which can then be planted on outdoor farms in the proper {{L|biome}}. A {{L|stockpile}} should be created for storing the collected plants, or they will just be left outside to shrivel up in the sun. A general food stockpile will do, but a custom {{L|stockpile}} for specific plants will prevent the stockpile filling up with other junk. |
