Gorgeous oversized full-color guide to herbs, from growth to use to identification

This comprehensive guide to herbs is divided into two sections. The first covers the gardening techniques required to grow herbs in a garden (with step-by-step instructions and illustrations). The second section is an A-Z encylopedia of herbs, covering over 150 herbs ranging from the common to the lesser-known. Entries in the A-Z section include illustrations, growing conditions, uses, and growing trips. The A-Z entries tell the reader everything necessary for both identifying and cultivating a wide range of species. The New Guide to Herbs can be read cover-to-cover (especially the gardening technique section) and then stored as a reference book on different types of herbs. This is a high-quality guide book with excellent full-color illustrations.
