Now you can create different gifts for every season--herbal wreaths for Christmas, valentine sachets, bridal bouquets, autumn potpourris--with this delightful collection of herbal gift ideas. The Pleasure of Herbs is a month-by-month guide to growing, using, and enjoying herbs. Now in its 13th printing.
I've read and re-read Phyllis's books, this one is a keeper! I've been growing herbs for years and I refer to this book alot. There's wonderful recipes, hints, crafts, and information that the common herb gardener can use. Nothing fancy, just every day, every month common sense. I highly reccomend this book, and her other one as well, Herbal Treasures. Phyllis is currently working on a third book, but as far as I know it's not out yet.
THE BEST herb book - for beginners or old-timers alike!

This book is apt to be overlooked in favor of glossy pictures, and what a shame!! It has so much useful information to offer, and the unique format of organizing info monthly is helpful. I own a shop and reccomend this as my favorite book, and everyone comes back to tell me how great it is. When my copy arrived in the mail years ago, I never went to sleep that night (my husband will attest!!) and now I have an eleven year old herb shop that is going strong. And this is due in no small measure to this wonderful lady and her great book. A must have for anyone interested in the wonderful world of herbs!!
This is the best book for beginners-bar none!!!
