4.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful & inspiring, 24 April 2003
By Kalan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Herbs: The Complete Gardener's Guide (Paperback)
"I want to plant a herb garden!" That's how I felt after reading this book!
I learnt that herbs are beautiful, useful & so colorful, yet they are easy to grow.
The book shows many pictures so you know how the herbs look & how to arrange them. It also introduces other herbs that you may have forgotten about. The book chapters make it easy & helpful to look through, chapters such as: herbs that seed, salads, tea, silver colored herbs, flowering, scented etc.
At the end there are tips on planting, freezing & drying. Also a few herb recipes that look delicious, but I haven't tried them yet.
All in all a beautiful book to look at
