It is vital to the plot, due to Father Lawrence suggesting the potion that causes temporary death to Juliet. When Shakespeare describes Father Lawrence's skill and knowledge with herbs he is suggesting that he is skilled in apothecary (ie mystical potions and herbs), therefore making his suggestion of the potion to Juliet viable.

Furthermore, Shakespeare also foreshadows that herbs/potions are vital to the plot.

What were Shakespeare's special interest?

We don't know enough about Shakespeare's personal life to answer this really. He did seem to take some time and effort to get a coat of arms for his father, which might indicate an interest in heraldry but more likely an interest in social climbing. But there is nothing to show that that was a "special interest".
