Product Description
This meticulously researched compendium provides every aspect of growing, identifying, harvesting, preserving, and using more than 500 species of herbs.
Thorough profiles provide a plant's botanical name and family, whether it is an annual or perennial, its height, hardiness, light requirements, water consumption, required soil type, and pH. The often fascinating history of the plant, the chemistry of its essential oils, and its culinary, landscape, and craft uses are also included, as is advice on how to propagate.
For the first edition of their work, both authors received The Gertrude B. Foster Award for Excellence in Herbal Literature from the Herb Society of America. This new edition adds important species and includes updated nomenclature.

More Than You Will Ever Need to Know July 6, 2010
The Gardener (Long Island, NY)
This revised Encyclopedia of Herbs is the ultimate reference on herbs. It is authoritative, detailed and encompasses everything you will want to know about over 500 herbs. Some sections are truly not for the home gardener but more for scientists amd nurserymen. But there is plenty of useful guidance for the home gardener interested in growing herbs and generally learning more about the requirements and conditions necessary for growing herbs and using herbs. There are interesting stories and histories at the beginning of each herb section. Fun to enjoy and use on many different levels.
