Exceptional Herb Gardens

The Herbalist's Garden
By Shatoiya and Richard de la Tour with photos by Saxon Holt
(Storey Books, hardcover)

As the subtitle suggests, a delightful guided tour of 10 exceptional herb gardens awaits in this nicely photographed book. You'll visit the Vermont garden of internationally known herbalist Rosemary Gladstar; the historic Plimouth Plantation gardens; Ravenhill, an extensive herb farm on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and several others.

The dedicated herbalists describe the vision, planning and care involved in their special plots and provide gardening tips. The lovely photographs alone could make this a nice coffee-table book, but the wisdom passed along by these herbalists makes this much more than just a pretty book.
