    Very Useful

    Great book with easy to find info on growing and caring for most common herbs. Pretty much all you need for the backyard and/or container gardener. Great ideas on creating basic herbal products from your harvest as well. Highly recommend this book to the average herb hobbyist. Great illustrations.

    New to Herb Gardening

    I haven't done any gardening in many years and wanted to get back into it. One of the things I want to start with are herbs because I can use them in cooking. I found this book to be very informative and the perfect referrence I was looking for especially as a novice. I'm sure it will get a lot of use.
