To garner something is to collect it, bit by bit — especially praise, support, votes, or information, not apples from a tree. News and essays love this verb: a film garners reviews; a plan garners support. It sounds formal. In the kitchen or the garden you would gather or collect. Though actually the older meaning was more concrete: a garner was a store for grain, the same idea as a , and the verb meant to put grain away. That noun is now rare and literary. If you meet garner in a modern paper, it is almost always the verb, and the “harvest” is abstract.
