Home Gardener's Herb Gardens

There's nothing nicer than being able to go out into your garden, snip some fresh herbs and put them straight into the pot. The beauty of an herb garden is that it doesn’t have to be big – it can usually fit into a pot, window box, raised garden bed or interspersed among other crops within a larger space.

This handy guide offers useful tips on designing, planting, improving and caring for your own herb garden. More than 330 color illustrations and diagrams, backed with easy-to-follow followed text, help gardeners at all skill levels learn to buy, plant, tend and harvest a rich bounty. It features an A-Z list of culinary varieties and growing instructions for annuals, biennials, bulbs, herbaceous perennials and shrub-like crops. There are also patterns for planting a compact cartwheel garden, corner and narrow planting beds, and formal herb gardens. It even includes information on preparing herbs for culinary use.
