4.0 out of 5 stars
Decent listing of latin names and growing periods...but...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Herbs & Their Uses (Hardcover)
When it comes to the uses of herbs it gives a brief overview of what one could possibly do with the herb without giving measurements or instructions for preparation. Some of the herbs listed could be lethal in large doses, which is the only reason this concerned me. It does, however, have an exhaustive list of common garden plants, their latin names, and information related to their growing and the zones they would grow best in. I turn to it frequently for growing information and as a starter on my research for further medicinal properties or preparation.

A Best Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Herbs & Their Uses (Hardcover)
If you have an interest in herbs this book is a must-have. It lists even the most obsure plants and gives each a very informative overview that includes both the historical and modern uses. -Linda Fry Kenzle, author of Gathering
