Growing 101 Herbs That Heal

Growing 101 Herbs That Heal : Gardening Techniques, Recipes, and Remedies 

 by Tammi Hartung

(Paperback)

Ever thought of rejecting the cold impersonality of modern medicine and growing your own garden full of healing herbs? Well, Tammi Hartung can tell you exactly how to do it with her book Growing 101 Herbs That Heal .

Hartung not only rejects the synthetic medicines that are so frequently used today (as have many other people), but she also is concerned about the extinction of many plants that can be used for medicinal purposes. She encourages the novice herb-grower to be extremely careful to grow the plants organically, without the use of toxic substances that might damage the earth.

This book is beautifully illustrated with photographs of brightly-colored flowers, plants, and gardens. As a person who not only cultivates these herbs for her own benefit, but has also acted as a buyer and a consultant for herb-growing companies, Hartung is an apt giver of advice.

And she gives advice on anything that might be necessary for a herb gardner to know! She tells how to improve soil, how to pick which plants to grow, how to grow them successfully, how to harvest them, and lastly, even gives recipes for the herbs and vegetables she encourages people to grow. This is a good, thorough guide to the world of medicinal herbs, and is recommended for anyone who is interested in them.-Emily Zibart for A Closer Look
