Review
"Wild Woman's Garden really IS radical! What a great way to gently encourage women to grow their own remedies and take charge of this phase of our lives. And the format is beautiful -- I like the focus on just 7 important wimmin's allies, this way you can spend time savoring each herb without feeling overwhelmed. Wild Woman's Garden offers new information in a very user-friendly way." -- Carol Leonard, co-author, Women's Wheel of Life, June, 1998
"A simple book with a profound invitation into the wild garden of women. [Sisters] VanNostrand and Sarles sow seeds of celebration for the changing seasons of female embodiment. Hygieia's highest recommend for an introductory book about cultivating menopause with herbs." -- Jeannine Parvati Baker, author, Hygieia: A Woman's Herbal, June 23, 1998
"If there was ever a book that clarified the use of herbal wisdom at midlife, this is it! Wild Woman's Garden boils down in a simple and completely practical way, everything you need to know to use plant wisdom to best advantage at midlife. I have never seen it laid out so clearly, nor in a way that spurs one on to action more completely. It's all you can do to keep from going out and digging, once you read through this book. I found it empowering, practical, and fascinating." -- Christiane Northrup, M.D., author, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, July 2, 1998

By A Customer
This review is from: Wild Woman's Garden: 7 Radical Weeds for Women Over 40 (The Garden Remedy Series) (The Garden Remedy Series) (Paperback)
Jillian and friends have written a friendly herbal companion for women in midlife. This book is succinct- seven herbs, each with a drawing and a page of information, followed by information on the growing and preparing of herbs. Wild Woman's Garden covers all aspects of these herbs, from sowing the seeds to using them for your health. Yet you are not overwhelmed with too much information. Now I can't wait to enter midlife so I can be a Wild Woman!
