For even the most avid green thumb, its source-book is thorough and completely updated: nationwide listings of nurseries, arboretums, and purveyors of medicinal, cosmetic, and household tree products; and a comprehensive bibliography on the history and uses of trees.The Herbal Grove is full of stunning full-color photographs and impeccable writing that should appeal to all who garden, hike, cook, seek alternative medicines, or simply love being in the company of trees.
