This review is from: Herbal Remedy Gardens: 38 Plans for Your Health & Well-Being (Paperback)
This practical guide to growing healthful herbs includes 20 specific plans for such things as cold and flu gardens, healthy heart, windowsill medicine cabinet, skin care, first aid, hair care, relaxation garden, and lots more. Recipes - culinary as well as medicinal - are included with each garden type.The book begins with an overview of medicinal herbs, with their uses, cautions, and raising and harvesting advice. The "at a glance" box directs the reader to the gardens (always multiple) the plant is used in, so you can see what complements it and how the plant is used. Tables include specific plant care and propagation advice and uses in the garden for attracting and repelling bugs. Byers includes the basics on getting started, garden maintenance and harvesting, but the heart of this book is practical herb use. Byers even concludes with an appreciative and practical chapter on the wild herbs, otherwise known as weeds.

This review is from: Herbal Remedy Gardens: 38 Plans for Your Health & Well-Being (Paperback)
I own this, though I havn't actually used it yet.It is very well organzied and includes lots of information about many herbs and where they grow. It also includes information about how to make different teas, salves, ointments etc. The only thing I didn't like about it was the garden section seemed wasted. The recipies in the section seem wonderful, but I don't think it was really necessary for the author to draw out garden plans for "tummy ache help" and "healthy heart garden" among others.
