Discovering Herbs

Others of ancient cultivation are now collectors' items in the authentic herb garden. In this book the author includes a wide range of such plants, discussing their background, care and cultivation, their properties and propagation. Medicinal plants, pot herbs, culinary delights, household sweeteners, dye plants and those with fragrance are all included. This is a book for both beginner and enthusiast. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Kay N.
