A book that gives me details about specific herbs. This is for me! I need to know by plants how to take care of said plant. I have a brown thumb. I do not kill plants I essentially maim plants but they live. I liked this book. I will buy this book.

This is a really gorgeous and informative book that would be a great addition to any gardener’s library. The text is clear and easy to read, and the photographs and overall design are lovely.

First, I would like to thank NetGalley and White Lion Publishing for providing me with a free PDF ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have recently been motivated to start my own herb garden since I now cook all meals at home for my family. I was excited to be chosen to review this book and eagerly jumped in, looking for herbs I was familiar with. This book provides a fantastic review of several herbs and how to grow and harvest them, and also discusses their various uses. Different types of herb gardens are presented, as well as herbs for different seasons, climates, other variables. Unfortunately, after the first day, the PDF stopped working in Adobe Digital Editions and I was not able to finish the book in its entirety, but from what I viewed, I would absolutely purchase a copy to reference once I start my garden.

A wonderfully practical book about growing and caring for many herbs in our garden plots or containers, inside or outside. Useful and beautifully presented.

This is a massive book, filled with gardening information, photographs and beautiful drawings. Tis book will keep any gardener, let alone a herb gardener entertained for a very long time, with lots of dipping into at various time.
There are lots of information about herbs, how to grow them and also, which I found helpful, which and how to contain the invasive one.
There are many herbs in this book that I had not heard of, and others the I have grown in every house I have lived in. Each have information on uses, growing and harvesting. This is a seriously good book.

Written by one of the stalwarts of gardening knowledge, Kew Gardens have always been at the forefront of providing advice to UK gardeners. This book gives lots of useful information about growing herbs. Although the terminology and hardiness scales are UK based they can be interpreted for elsewhere.
It is an easy to read reference, with lots of illustrations. Definitely a book that will be opened many a time.

I am new to gardening and wanted to know more about growing herbs. This book was ideal to learn from and wonderful projects to try.

I received an e-copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley for review purposes. Thank you!

Basically what it says on the tin: a nice, accessible guide to growing a herb garden. The book contains many tips as to how to deal with various specific types of herbs, as well as some ideas for how to beautify your herb garden. Very useful for beginners, but more experienced people will also find something for themselves.

Approachable, colorful guide to planting, caring for, and harvesting herbs at home. Includes descriptions and illustrations for each variety, organized alphabetically, as well as "projects" for using the various herbs, from pesto with basil to herbal wreaths.

Gosh, the illustrations! Useful guide to herbs and their growth, use, and care. Would have been nice to have a full breakdown of what the RHS hardiness ratings are, though.

The New Gardeners Guide to Growing Herbs
by Holly Farrell

If you’re a beginner in gardening and your looking to start a herb garden this is the perfect guide for you.

This book gives you detailed instructions on how to start your garden. You’ll learn about the soil and seeds and where to go from there. You will find plenty of photos, drawings and charts of all the different herbs to grow then harvesting the herbs. Included is how you can find all the different ways to use your herbs, whether drying them or using them in oils or vinegar.

I found this book to be a very good reference book.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is a compact, but still very comprehensive guide to growing and using herbs. Lots of practical tips and beautiful illustrations.

This was a fairly typical, yet interesting look at the care and growing of herbs. I liked the list given of herbs to grow, and that both care instructions and potential uses for the herbs were listed. You may find a herb you haven't considered growing before, or rediscover an old favourite. If you read several herb growing books, I don't think this guide really stands out from the rest, but you can still comfortably read only this book and not be steered wrong. While it doesn't stand out in a crowd, this was still informative, and of good use to a new herb grower.

This book begins with a brief general introduction to growing herbs. That's followed by sections on "projects" that focus on growing a group of herbs for a particular aspect, such as purpose (e.g., making pesto or vinegars) or growth habit (e.g., vertical, roof garden, topiary). Within each "project" the selected herbs are profiled, including a drawing or photo, how to grow/harvest/use. The profiles seemed a bit brief (only a few sentences for each aspect.) The very end of the book contains notes on troubleshooting and planting schedules. It seems again that these are a bit too general and it would be more useful to include this information within the profile of a given plant..

I found this type of organization interesting, but am not sure it makes for the easiest reference. If you want a reference where you can look up a particular herb and receive detailed growing instructions, this probably isn't the best book. But, if you're interested in growing herbs and aren't sure where to begin, this might give some good ideas for starting with a single project and a few herbs.

A gorgeous book, with wonderful practical advice and photography to aid the learning. The knowledge base was exceptional with well written instructional guidance in a very easy to understand way. It was perfect timing as I am about to plant my winter vegetable and herb garden. I learnt a lot.
Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this fabulous book.

This was so interesting. I have a rather "wild" herb garden and I needed a little help on things. And here it was! I love herbs and using them both for foods, garden decor and health. So was excited to now have a quick and easy reference guide to growing them. I liked that the book gave heights and other facts on easy to locate charts for each herb featured in the book. It will be a great help as I now can easily check back to see what helpful information I can find about various herbs. The book also had beautiful pictures of the herbs, which will help in the organizing of them in my small garden.

I received an ebook copy from NetGalley. All thoughts are my own,

Not in alphabetical order of herbs or project order. A nice introduction to herbs - similar to the plant book they made. You do get an introduction and herb image of what is being talked about. Reader does get other information about how to take care of them. It is from people that know what they are talking about. You do get some troubleshooting help as well in this one.

The Kew Gardener’s Guide to Growing Herbs is a new tutorial guide to growing and using herbs in the garden by Holly Farrell. Released 21st March 2019 by Quarto on their White Lion imprint, it's 144 pages and available in ebook and paperback format.

Whenever gardeners think about inspiration and knowledge on a worldwide scale, the Kew gardens are at the very top of a very short list. They've been going strong for almost 260 years at this point. This book includes an herbal compendium of culture and care info for more than 70 individual herbs along with several attractive plantings arranged as projects.

Worth noting. This guide is written primarily with gardeners in the British Isles in mind. The hardiness zones listed in the individual herbal listings are the ones given by the RHS (not the my link textUSDA ones). Also, the ebook version has an interactive table of contents which is very handy.

Much of the photography is from stock photos, but all of the project photos are purpose made for this edition. The culture information is straightforward and peppered with good tips and tricks for encouraging the best performance from all of your plants (and taming the 'beasts' like mint and comfrey).

Four stars. Well written and full of attractive photography.

With the cost of groceries these days, an adventurous cook needs an edge to keep their craft different and interesting. Add in the fact that many herbs are not only tasty and good for you, they help improve your environment by restricting pests without chemicals. The book contains many fascinating examples of what best to grow in your garden without making the experience a full time job. I really enjoyed how the author described the different herbs and how to get the most out of them.
