I really enjoy this book! I am new to gardening and really wanted a book to guide me in growing herbs and this is a great start. It has a great deal of information on growing herbs and their uses. There are other books that have more specific information on each and also has a larger selection of herbs, but this is good for a beginner. Not to mention that it is visually appealing and well laid out.

Perfect Beginner's Guide to Herbs,

This review is from: Your Backyard Herb Garden: A Gardener's Guide to Growing Over 50 Herbs Plus How to Use Them in Cooking, Crafts, Companion Planting and More (Paperback)
This book is so easy to read for a beginner gardner! I love that there are details on all the requirements that each herb needs to grow (soil, light, fertilizer, pests). Also, there is a little bit of everything, recipe's, crafts. Just enough to get started. I would recommend that this book be taken with a person when they go to buy their plants to use as a reference. I feel Miranda Smith did an excellent job in making an easy to follow guide. This book will be used while at the garden store, and in the yard while planting. It will not sit on your shelf!
