Success With Herbs

Herbs offer a spectacular blend of the beauty and aromas of flowers and the flavors and nutrition of vegetables, as well as the healing power of medicines and even colors for dyeing fabrics. Any indoor or outdoor space can become a stunning herb garden with these practical instructions and lavish photos. It all starts with preferences and plans: formal and informal, large and small, sun and shade, as well as specialty gardens that highlight potpourri, medicinal herbs, tea leaves, and nostalgic or historic themes. Beginners can learn the basics by working with the "big five"--parsley, chives, mint, thyme, and rosemary. Over 150 color photos accompany A-Z descriptions of more than 100 herb types that cover growing, harvesting, preserving, and uses.Cuthbertson, Yvonne is the author of 'Success With Herbs ' with ISBN 9781861084125 and ISBN 1861084129.
