Plant gathering allows you to gather edible plants to add to your food stores. This can sometimes make all the difference between surviving, and death by starvation.
To gather plants, at least one of your dwarves must have the "plant gathering" skill turned on.
Then find an area with a lot of shrubs (Shown by " symbols.), then press "d" for 'designate', and then press "p" for 'plants'. Move the curser to one corner of the area you want to harvest, and hit the "return" or "enter" key. Now move diagonally to the far corner of the area, and hit "return" or "enter" again. This will mark all harvestable shrubs in that area for picking.
Your dwarf should then start going out to pick those plants.
Plant Gathering is also essential for obtaining seeds if you plan to do outdoor farming. The plants gathered must first be brewed or eaten to obtain the seed.
