This review is from: Herb Garden Design (Paperback)
Lovely photos of examples of various styles of herb gardens. This is a good basic book that will lead you to seek out more specifics on the style of garden you are most drawn to.In the back of the book is an index by botanical name and common name that gives each plant's habit, height/spread, site/soil preference, climate zone range, propagation etc that is very useful.
