Living with Herbs

A Treasury of Useful Plants for the Home and Garden

Jo Ann Gardner
Illustrated by Elayne Sears

Every gardener will benefit from Jo Ann's intimate knowledge of herbs and their histories, growing needs, and uses in the kitchen and home. The wisdom she shares-with vivid stories, a self-deprecating wit, and an infectious delight in the garden-will be useful to herb growers living anywhere in the United States or Canada.

Included in this practical guide is instruction on:

  • Planting, caring for, and propagating herbs, indoors, outdoors, and in containers

  • Harvesting, drying, and preserving herbs, flowers, and seeds

  • Two dozen ways to use herbs in the home, from aromatherapy and infusions to vinegars and wreaths

  • Landscaping with herbs, with plans for a harvest bed, rose garden, and other theme gardens

  • The growing needs and unique uses of over 90 herbs, along with favorite recipes

    •

    "Living with Herbs is a wonderful book. It's honest, inspiring, warm-hearted, and full of fresh ideas, original observations, and reliable advice."
    —Rita Buchanan, editor of the Taylor's Guide to Herbs
