I tend to have it work in a pass/fail manner, so high skill levels aren't terribly relevant – but I also treat it as one of those skills to which Time Spent doesn't apply (plants grow at a fixed rate), so if you're raising delicate rarities that give -10 to skill because the GM doesn't want them to be too common, you can't offset that with extra time and will want high skill. I suppose yield (in terms of doses of final potion) could depend on margin, too.

You might well need a Gardening roll to pick wild herbs as well
