Phyllis V. Shaudys

Somewhat dated now, but turned me into an herb-growing, potpourri-making crazy person.

So many herb ideas and tips. Recipes for foods, teas, potpourris, and crafts, a specific herb for each month (Mint, Scented Geraniums, Parsley/Chives, Thyme, Marjoram, Tarragon, Savory, Basil, Dill, Oregano, Sage, Rosemary) as well as gardening advice and more crafts, and a brief 'encyclopedia' of herbs. Worth a periodic browse for any herb enthusiast. (Definitely better than Herb Gardening in Five Seasons.)

Always enjoying going through this book and discovering new possibilities for growing herbs or using them in crafts/recipes. Shaudys love and knowledge of her subject is evident throughout. Nice pen & ink illustrations and a good "brief encyclopedia of herbs" at the back. Worthy for any herbalist's shelf!

Good condition. Cover is a bit worn on corners
