Starting your own business

I am thinking about starting a business with herbs. This book has been easy to read and understand. It was full of information that will let me contact other people for further information. The book was also full of titles of other books that were equaly a good. I would recommend this book to anyone starting a business.

Lots of tips on how to present your herbs to the consumer.

One of the nicest sources for creative selling that I have read. It is packed with so many motivating, and unique ideas from what to grow, and how to sell it. The author seems to be a very experienced herbalist. I can't wait till my garden grows so I can put some of her ideas into action. If you are first starting an herb business, this is a great one to read.

The best book for a person looking to get into Business

Most herbal stores will not have this book. Why? Because it is to good!!!!! Your finger will be on the pulse of the Herb business when you read this book. It has everything from bookeeping and permitting to actual growing and stocking your store or business. Read this and you can not fail.

Required reading, better still, the Bible for herb business

As a amateur herb enthusist, I purchased this book and even with my limited time and sometimes limited concentration level I was unable to put this book down. I was able to take a number of Bertha's ideas and suggestions and implimented them on a small scale and with wonderful results. I feel this book and it's author is a asset to the gardening community.
