Landscaping with Herbs Pa

Jim Wilson provides an overall personal history in his introduction, A Lifetime of Herbs. He describes the herbs individually in great detail; when they bloom, through which zone they can be planted, everything you might wish to know about them. The photos are beautiful. The index is very detailed. There are lists of common and latin names and mail order sources. The hardbound version I first encountered in my local library was 220 pages packed with valuable information and details on everything about herbs; soil types, feeding, overwintering in containers, harvesting herbs for crafts, landscaping with herbs, planting herbs with regard to color and scent, the kitchen herb garden, herbs in walls and pavings. The photos are numerous, in full color and each photo, in itself, is a work of art. This book inspires.
