Having grown and studied herbs for years, I was excited to come across this book. Not only does it offer a brief overview of the history of herbs, but it includes step-by-step instructions for how to build formal and casual herb gardens; how to properly care for your herbs as they grow and after they are picked; and an encyclopedic look at some of the most popular herbs and their recommended uses (culinary, medinical, decorative, etc.). This is THE book for anyone planning an herb garden. True, there are other herb books that list practically every herb in existence, but for the regular, every-day gardener, this is your best bet!
This is a gem of a book. Small, concise, and beautiful to look at, with practical, easy to follow directions on how design your herb garden. Step-by-step directions for in ground or container gardens that are appealing to the eye and the palate. You wont be disappointed.
