Growing Herbs (Herb Finder)

The "Herb Finders" are a designed trilogy of herb books one for the gardener, one for the cook, one for the natural health and beauty enthusiast. Each title includes a photographic index of 60 herbs, capturing their individual features in close-up detail. It also includes practical information on growing and using herbs. The front flap includes an ingenious pull chart providing at-a-glance information on soil, site and cultivation requirements for every herb. "Growing Herbs", the first in this new collection of practical, photographic guides to herbs, features a cultivation pull chart and gives an introduction to ornamental herb gardens, with details on a variety of historical styles and how these can be adapted to modern gardens. It includes details on decorative herbs, the most attractive herbs for mixed borders, patios and containers, concentrating on varieties that have particularly good garden form, giving maximum colour and interest in terms of habit, foliage, flowers and fruits. The herbs are listed in alphabetical order by their Latin names.
