by Miranda Smith (Author)
This guide covers culinary, decorative, cosmetic and medicinal ways to make the most of the herbs grown in a garden. It also features a comprehensive herb directory, with advice on how to grow and use each plant, as well as where to grow it in the garden or landscape, and what to grow with it. In cases where herbs are used medicinally, directions and recommendations for use is limited to mild teas or external applications, such as muscle-soothing salves. Where more serious complaints are involved, the book always urges the reader to consult conventional medical advice. Miranda Smith is the author of "Greenhouse Gardening", "Backyard Fruits and Berries", and has contributed to Rodale's "Chemical-Free Yard and Garden".
