A Zest for Herbs: Choosing, Using, and Designing with Garden Herbs (Mitchell Beazley Gardening) - Hardcover

Arranged in thematic chapters, this practical book not only discusses the many ways you can use herbs, but looks at herbs either as a backdrop to, or indeed as the star, of any garden scheme. The adaptibility of herbs has enabled them to be planted in healing gardens, herbaceous borders, paving, walls, and raised bed planting, pots and other containers, and window boxes. The book shows how in larger gardens herbs can give instant effect, and provide colour and texture while shrubs and perennials settle in, while in smaller gardens they can transform paving, walls, and flowerbeds in a couple of months.
