What is the difference between the Chantry Garden and the Herb Garden upgrade in Skyhold?
I want to upgrade the garden in Skyhold, but the descriptions are a bit too vague for me. The chantry garden upgrade is described to bring "a potential resource gain from the inspired, including gold from tithes" and the herb garden "allows more herbs to be harvested".
I'd like to know how exactly the two options differ in the end.
If I choose the chantry garden:
- Can I still grow herbs, and if so, how many?
- What exactly is the "potential resource gain" and how frequent and useful is it (Do you get rare upgrade material or just commong things like iron)?
- How frequently and in what amount do you get the money from tithes?
If I choose the herb garden:
- How many herbs can I grow there?
- Do they grow faster, or is there any other herb growing advantage compared to the chantry garden?
- Does it offer any other advantages?

There are certain game options only available to an Inquisitor that embraces being a religious figure (for example, being able to convince the Grey Warden Ser Ruth to accept forgiveness in the Skyhold Judgement). The Chantry Garden war table missions are one such option.
If you have the Chantry garden and are a "faithful" Inquisitor, you will unlock a few war table missions. If you're not "faithful" (you've said in conversation you weren't saved by divine intervention etc) those missions won't unlock even if you have the Chantry upgrade.

Answer 2
The Herb garden gives you 6 pots to grow herbs. The Chantry garden gives you 2 pots for herbs. They grow at the same speed.
This is all the information I've been able to discover by playing. I have not seen any reference any "resource gain" by playing.

Yes you still can grow herbs from the 2 pots. (1 in each pot)
What exactly is the "potential resource gain" and how frequent and useful is it (Do you get rare upgrade material or just commong things like iron)?
It's suppose to give gold from followers, but I have found no way to get that gold ...
- How frequently and in what amount do you get the money from tithes?
See last answer ...
If I choose the herb garden: - How many herbs can I grow there?
You pass from 2 pots to 6 pots.
- Do they grow faster, or is there any other herb growing advantage compared to the chantry garden?
Not that I noticed...
- Does it offer any other advantages?
There is an achievement to gather 50 herbs in the herb garden in one playthrough.
-EDIT- It is not needed to have the Herbs garden for this achievement, but it is way easier with 6 pots.
I would go with the Herbs Garden, but you can still choose. Have fun!
