Amazon.co.uk Review
Anyone who has the slightest interest in gardening and herbs, cannot be fail to be attracted to this book.
The Ultimate Herb Gardener, by Barbara Segall--a herb specialist, gardener and writer--is full of ideas for cultivating herbs including everything from a simple, informal container holding one plant, to a more complex, formal and stylised Knot Garden consisting of many different species and varieties.
It is divided into five sections, each one further sub-divided for easy and practical use providing a comprehensive guide for designing with and planting herbs. Practical advice on how to design your own herb garden is also given, showing how to draw and mark up a plan with step-by-step information on how to include and make special features. But the core of the book consists of specially created garden designs which are imaginative and varied and are wonderfully illustrated with superb colour photographs, watercolours, drawings and easy-to-follow plans. Especially attractive is the section on themed designs, which contains information on medicinal herbs, oriental collections, cosmetic herbs, children's gardens, wildlife gardens, foliage gardens and one-colour designs; each one being enough to make even the most reluctant among us want to get up and garden. -- Susan Naylor
