Has anyone had the herb garden or tavern proc ever?

[Kilkakon]

I've had a good 100+ years so far in my Great Works game with a herb garden and a tavern and both they've yet to have any effects. Is this intentional? The herb garden description made it sound like these things would be frequent. Unless it's happening without me being notified?

Also the Palace level 4 didn't seem to increase my retinue size. Just making sure it's not just me before I make a report I suppose.

Herbs take at least 150 years to grow.

No herbs in over a hundred years either, really disappointed.

Yes, they work, they are just random and have a rather small chance to appear (For example, the Wolf Child Event has the same chance to appear).
I received 2 events to collect herbs in a hundred years.

That needs to be changed. A garden that only flowers every fifty years is pretty pathetic!

Yeah, though I'd be OK with waiting 50 years we got some exotic one-of-a-kind herb that had special potency (like a 1.0 to health for 10 years) out of it.
