 A Beginning Gardener's Opinion |

| 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. |
Enchanting, Informative Book!

| 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! |
Great guide on growing herbs!

New Age Tripe

| Reviewer: Rev. Enge, Harveysburg, OH |
| This book is yet another New Age feel good title with virtually no foundation in reality. In this case, virtually no foundation in the subject of gardening or medicine / home remedies. The author is light and whimsical, giving common sense advice with the tone of a sage. On gardening, there is nothing new and not a thing that your local nursery wouldn't be able to advise. Heck, there is more information on the back of seed packages. On herbal remedies, not only are most of them lame they might be dangerous depending on your allergies. |
