Herb Sampler

By Carol Kagan

This basic guide and useful reference is a sampling of topics on herbs. It includes information on planting and growing herbs including how to care for herbs in containers. The section on harvesting and preserving herbs includes several methods on how to prepare and store them. Recipes range from beverages to desserts plus a section on creating ingredients such as spice mixes and vinegars. A craft section gives step-by-step instructions on creating tussie-mussie nosegays and has a list of the meanings of the most popular herbs. Two craft projects are easy enough for children and would be good school or rainy day projects. The reference section has a list of both the common and scientific names of herbs to help in locating more information. There is a Webliography as well as a Bibliography and business information sources as well. The author has been active in herbal organizations for over 25 years, designing and maintaining herb gardens and providing docent services at a variety of historic properties.
