Foraging
Foraging is collecting resources directly from the ground or trees and bushes.
Each area of The Valley has unique resources available to forage. After collecting a foraged item for the first time it will highlight as completed in the 'Foraging' tab of the Collection
Villager Companions
When reaching level 2 Friendship with a villager, they can be assigned a role. Villagers who have been assigned the Foraging Role will gain extra Friendship when collecting foraged materials. They also have a chance to drop extra foraged materials when harvesting wild crops and fruits while they're following. Extra materials they produce will be dropped on the ground, and can be picked up by running over them.
Each level of friendship increases the rate which extra materials will drop. It's not only effective for leveling up Friendship with these characters, but extremely helpful for offering bonus materials when foraging. Be sure to always bring a Companion along when foraging!
Crafting Materials
A variety of resources can be found throughout the Valley - many which are unique to specific biomes. Some of these materials can be refined into higher level materials, which may be a component of a crafting recipe.

Flowers
Flowers can be found in each biome growing wild on the ground. Each flower is unique to only one biome.
The distribution of flowers grown in each biome is not random; there is a set number of each type that will grow. Therefore, if you wish to collect a certain type of flower, you only need to pick that flower type in order for more of that type to spawn.
