Although specifically about plants common in the northwestern United States, this handbook applies to herbalists everywhere in North America. Whether one loves to plant sage, rosemary, or thyme, here the reader can learn inventive ways to plant, propagate, and maintain herbs. Preus describes 50 different herbs grown in the Northwest and explains their uses in the garden, kitchen, and medicine cabinet.
Colorful photographs aid the reader in identifying each herb.
The first three chapters teach herb-growing basics and how to preserve harvested herbs.
