5.0 out of 5 stars
Concise book on growing herbs,
By "a_wallflower" (MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Medicinal Garden: How to Grow and Use Your Own Medicinal Herbs (Paperback)
The Medicinal Garden is a great book for anyone who is interested in growing their own herbs for healing. It covers everything from how and where to plant, when to harvest, how to dry herbs and the book gives some interesting explanations of the latin names of the herbs. Also covered are the ailments that each herb helps, any dangers of the herbs, how to prepare teas, syrups, creams, compresses etc., and how to store them.

A Must-Have,
By Jamie (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Medicinal Garden: How to Grow and Use Your Own Medicinal Herbs (Paperback)
I have not been unsatisfied by this book. It makes you want to read it. I have frequently fallen into mesmerizing information. If you are interested in growing your own herbs and using them, this is your book. Truly, it is a new world of discovery. If you are unable to find or grow certain herbs, surprisingly there are many others given that could take its place. I was fascinated to find that there was so much overlap in the uses of plants. But then again, I didn't major in Horticulture. Whatever you majored in, this book will definitely catch you up on herbs and their various uses. I may have to buy another copy in a few years because mine will soon look 100 years old from extensive use. Happy Growing!!!
