Nice overview

This is a nice compendium of information on the planting, propagation, harvesting, and use of a wide variety of herbs. Basic gardening is covered for situations including every style from formal gardens to containers on a balcony. Ideas and/or "recipes" are provided for some herbal teas, foods, crafts, and beauty treatments. Half the book is taken up by an "encyclopedia" of herbs, which, though hardly in depth, covers many species (not just the super familiar ones.) The whole book is appealingly laid out and full of lovely photographs. Quite enjoyable.
