Written by Laura Peters. Published by Lone Pine Publishing, 2008. Description: |
| 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 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. 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. Laura Peters is a certified Master Gardener with over twenty gardening books to her credit. She has gained valuable experience in every aspect of the horticultural industry in a career that has spanned more than sixteen years. Laura especially enjoys sharing her practical knowledge of organic gardening, plant varieties and gardening products with fellow gardeners. |
