VERY INFORMATIVE BOOK!,
By Diane K. Tesone (Rochester Hills, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Big Book of Herbs: A Comprehensive Illustrated Reference to Herbs of Flavor and Fragrance (Hardcover)
I have been "collecting" herbal books for a couple years now. I am a Master Gardener, and have been studying herbal medicine in various cultures. I would highly recommend this book for beginning herbalists. It has information on plant identification,how to grow and propagate herbs, identifying diseases and pests, and scientific information on different species. It also includes color pictures and sketches. It does'nt have a ton of herbs, but most of the more common ones used in gardens, and for potpourris.

This review is from: The Big Book of Herbs: A Comprehensive Illustrated Reference to Herbs of Flavor and Fragrance (Hardcover)
I ordered this book when it was first published and of all the herb books that I have it is the best. It is not a pretty picture book, but it has tons of information on a huge variety of herbs.
