beginners gold mine July 28, 2000

As a brand new herb gardener, I was becoming more confused by each herbal I read. This book is well organized into a progressive step by step layout. It offers planting guides for soil, sun, uses, and ease of care, making it easy for me to decide on the perfect plants for my space, garden location and the herbs I wanted to use. I especially appreciate the harvesting and storage tips. My first herb garden has been very successful following this guide. I am ordering more copies for friends and family.
Perfect Beginner's Guide to Herbs January 13, 2004

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!

A good book for (mainly) culinary herbs and how to recognize them, but thin on information about medicinal use, and lacking in too many delicious plants that really ought to be mentioned. Great starter book for someone getting into growing their own herb garden though. I thoroughly enjoy it.
Best Herb Book to Start Out With! September 28, 2004

I'm a newbie at an herb garden, altho I've dabbled in a few like parsley, tyme, and chives in the past. But this book is the best one I've ever bought and has encouraged me to DO SOMETHING with what I grow in my summer garden. I have now doubled my herbs and will add more next year to add to my gifts, crafts, and cooking thru the winter from my garden. I have already saved by freezing & drying my own and this book showed me how EASY it is to do. So if you're just starting your own herb garden or you want to expand on what you have and do more with what you harvest, this is deffinantly the book you should have out for reference and a guideline.

Having lived in an apartment for over thirty plus years, growing herbs was intimidating, to say the least. How easy just to purchase a jar at your local market. But now that I've bought a home, I decided to give it a try. So I searched...and searched for the right book and returned all but one. This book is it...look no further. From beginners language to attractive and beneficial growing arrangements, the planning and step-by-step instructions and photography make it a household must. This book not only taught me to walk, I'm now on the path to being an excellent runner! Get it, you can't go wrong. (And what a wonderful gift!)
