This is an outstanding resource with stunning photographs. The book is divided into three sections. The first section is about cultivating medicine; how to grow your best garden. Part two is all about making medicine; using your herbs to create remedies and more. Part three is about botanical medicine; understanding specific herbal profiles and recipes. This book is one I will use over and over and keep handy! Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

If you're at all interested in growing herbs of any sort, this book is for you. I was amazed by the vastness of information that it contains. It is split up into 3 parts. The first is all about how to plan and grow your herbs and flowers no matter the region. It even contains information on growing in containers and has holistic solutions for garden pests and plant diseases. Part Two goes in depth on how to harvest, dry and store your spoils and how to prepare different types of botanical medicines. Part 3 is an extensive glossary of dozens of different herbs and flowers with pages of detailed information for each on how to grow and in which zones, type of soil, how to propagate, harvest and use in a variety of different medicines or in cooking with mouthwatering recipes. All of this plus page after page of gorgeous photos.

Thank you to Mariner Books and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advance copy of this book. My review is voluntary and all opinions are my own.
