Sure can! As long as there're herbs and other plants that're helpful to people. The variety of useful growing things - leaves, seeds, fruit, everything - back in Orsterra is pretty damn amazing whenever I think about it. When we first got here, I spent a while in the library looking for books about local plants. Just to see if I could use anything, since my own satchel isn't here with me and I don't wanna just try brewing anything up that might hurt a person.

[Apothecaries have to know the antidotes for a variety of poisons, venoms, things you shouldn't eat...and so as a result they also know, often, how to make the poisons themselves or what concentration of venom is deadly or what has no taste but leaves you throwing up for days. All part of the job.]

Especially if I have no way of fixing what I'd done to 'em yet. But I learned a lot! When we get back I'll start keeping a list and maybe grow some of 'em around my house if I can.
