First of all make your way to the nearest herbalism trainer. Often, alchemists are situated nearby herbalists, so you can learn both closely related skills in the same location.
Each plant requires a minimum skill in herbalism to harvest. Depending on the level of the plant, you may gain skill levels when you succeed in gathering. The further away your skill is from the level of the plant, the less likely you are to receive a skill increase. The skill required to successfully use a plant also corresponds to the regions it can be found in. Easier plants are found in the lower-level areas, and more difficult plants in the higher-level zones.

Don’t pick plants while fighting. Wait until the party is safe before moving over to the plant.
Multiple people can gain skill off the same plant if the first person avoids picking the herbs off the plant. After the plant’s contents box appears, simply press ”Escape” to stand up, and the second person can then gather and have a chance to raise his or her skill.

Once you’ve acquired the basics, you’re ready to go. Herbalism requires no additional items to use. Be sure to keep a lot of empty bag space for all the herbs you’re about to pick up. If you get a lot of extra herbs that you can’t use, you can store them in the bank or sell them to other players.

Approach the plant. Once you’re close enough, the action cursor will light up and you can begin harvesting. If you fail on your first attempt, try again. All plants have a minimum skill requirement before you can attempt to harvest them. If your skill is too low, you won’t be able to collect the herbs. Once you’re successful, a window displaying the contents of the plant will open. Each plant usually contains one to three herbs. Right-click the herbs in this window to move them to your backpack. After you collect the herbs, the plant disappears.

3. Another great way to add herbs to your stash is by doing the repeatable Morrowgrain quests in Darnassus and at Feathermoon Stronghold. The magical pouch you are given can be repeatedly used to grow herbs from a random list. The only thing you need to keep this process going is fresh soil from Un’Goro Crater and more Tharlendris seeds, which are purchased from the Morrowgrain questgivers.
Some Herbs in Outland cause various effects when the Herb is picked. An example is Mana Thistle which restores some mana to you. Picking a Nightmare Vine places a negative debuff on you.
