A Beginning Gardener's Opinion,
By Heidi Aspinwall (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Herbal Tea Gardens: 22 Plans for Your Enjoyment & Well-Being (Paperback)
This is one of the most informative books I have read on the subject of herb gardening. I found the book difficult to put down. It includes extensive descriptions of individual herbs from the most ordinary to the hard-to-find. One of the most enjoyable aspects of the book are the recipes for herbal tea blends and corresponding health benefits, which are listed thoughout the book. Also included are garden plans, propagation methods, and harvesting tips. I highly recommend this book as a reference guide for the beginner or the seasoned gardener.

This review is from: Herbal Tea Gardens: 22 Plans for Your Enjoyment & Well-Being (Paperback)
This books is all you'll need if you want to grow herbs. I love the great recipes for teas and herb sugars. The many detailed garden plans are the best part of the book and they're laid out simply with common herbs. I wish I'd gotten this pretty little tome years ago before I planted my first cutting of Mint!
5.0 out of 5 stars

This is the first time I have tried to grow an herb garden. This book has been the most helpful out of all the books I found for information. It has been helpful me through about 50 different herbs, how to grow them, and take care of them.
