5.0 out of 5 stars very helpful, May 14, 2009
By Elisa S. Allan (Columbus, OH) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
no matter what your purpose for planting herbs, this book is helpful. Contains a section providing detailed planting and harvesting for each herb as well as a color photo. Then each chapter is a different "purpose" for an herb garden, everything from culinary, to tea, to drying for potpourri, to attracting butterflies. Within those chapters there are specific details on which plants you will want, a suggested layout for planting, info on which to start from seeds and which to buy as a plant, and --most importantly in my opinion-- what you should be doing for your garden each monthly period to get the most from your harvest. In the culinary section there are also recipes for using your fresh herbs. An indispensable tool for the herb gardener!
