Herbs are plants cultivated for their culinary, medicinal or aromatic virtues. No self-respecting cook would have a kitchen without them and the fresher, the better. They also often add striking and beautiful features to the garden.
Herb Gardening for Canada features 47 types of plants classified as herbs that can be grown under Canadian climactic and soil conditions. They include trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals, ranging from anise to valerian.
Each account features full-colour photographs that include close-ups of the plant, the plant in a garden setting and the plant parts that have human uses.
The text includes natural history, identification features, hardiness, tips for best growing results, recommended varieties, how to harvest and process the plant and the plant’s potential uses and nutritional value. The book also includes cautions for those plants that can prove toxic under certain conditions.
The book includes an extensive Introduction that covers various types of herbs, design ideas for herb gardens, good gardening practice, and methods and recipes for preparing herbal ingredients.
