Herbs grace a garden, savour cookery, perfume a house and have a hundred and more natural medicinal uses.
This book, written in the southern hemisphere for New Zealanders and Australians, lists thirty-four herbs and gives the lore and legend associated with each together with clear and practical advice on their cultivation, their uses in the kitchen, their application to home perfumery and how they may safely and successfully be used medicinally.
A chapter on herb gardens demonstrates how many herbs are worth growing as decorative plants that give sustenance and comfort to the bees and are a "special" element in garden landscaping.
Now in ts eighth printing in twelve years, Garden Herbs for Australia and New Zealand has proved itself an indispensible guide to the fascinating subject of herbalism. - from the wraps
