Product Description
Most herb books cover a wealth of knowledge about a great many herbs, and as such can be a bit more like encyclopedias than easy reference guides. Written with the intention of providing complete information about a select few, this book discusses fourteen herbs. These fourteen herbs are some of those most commonly purchased and used by the average gardener/cook in this country. I’ve attempted to provide a well-rounded picture of each from its place in history, medicinal and culinary attributes, optimal growth conditions, harvesting, recipes, and projects for children and adults alike. Included in each chapter are various different hints and suggestions regarding cultivation, storage, and utilization that pertain not only to the herb being discussed, but to all herbs.
