In here, sack of greenery! (7)

I believe the answer is:

herbage

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'greenery' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'in here sack' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'sack' becomes 'bag' (I've seen this before).
'here' placed around 'bag' is 'HERBAGE'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for herbage that I've seen before include "Vegetation" , "Plant life" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
