註釋
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.
