A way of destroying saplings in the designate menu.

Title says it all. They keep growing in my greenhouse and preventing me from planting nice looking farms.

It's like you're all trying to outdo each other in sheer useless pedantry.

This has just given me an idea:  Rename the herbalist to a gardener or something similar, and give the gardener more jobs to do than just gather plants.  The gardener could also, for example, maintain certain areas.  Want an area to be mostly shrubs?  Designate the area as a shrub area.  Or as a grassy area, or as a sandy path area (prevent grass from growing), or as a tree area, et cetera.  Also, the gardener could create and maintain potted plants throughout the fortress.
