I'm not quite sure if these will help, but here goes:
Nerilka's Story by Anne McCaffrey (same time as Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern) IIRC, Nerilka is in charge of the stillroom in her father's holding as her mother is dead; when an epidemic hits Pern, her skills & resources there become very valuable
Idalia in the books by Mercedes Lackey & James Mallory (The Outstretched Shadow, To Light a Candle) I think this might be more magic working than herbalism . . . .
Aerin (for a little bit) in The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley (specifically the bit where she finds the "recipe" for kemet in the back of a book about dragons and goes off to experiment; she specifically has to ask her nurse what some of the plants are)
