American-born gardener Ethne Clarke presents innumerable ways that herb gardens bring new life to any garden scheme. Vivid watercolors complement full-color photos that illustrate a wide range of herb garden design choices, 30 planting plans, and a table of over 200 herbs make this book a truly comprehensive reference.
Lovely photos of examples of various styles of herb gardens. This is a good basic book that will lead you to seek out more specifics on the style of garden you are most drawn to. In the back of the book is an index by botanical name and common name that gives each plant's habit, height/spread, site/soil preference, climate zone range, propagation etc that is very useful.
