From Booklist
Basil, chives, garlic, oregano, and parsley are among the 10 most popular herbs that Harding features in her guide; they are popular because they are easy to grow, she says. Harding describes what they look like and explains their history, magical properties and folklore, propagation, and growing methods, along with harvest and storage techniques, and the herbs' uses (culinary, remedies, aromatic, cosmetic, ornamental, and more). The author begins with a chapter on propagation, preparations, and preservation, offering basic information on the different growing methods (such as seeds, division, and layering), on how to use herbs in infusions or tea, and on how to save herbs by freezing or drying. This handy guide contains 95 recipes, everything from mint julep and mint jelly to oregano cheese bread and parsley dumplings. George Cohen

An herb book for beginners and seasoned herb growers alike.
I have tried to give the beginning herb grower the basics of growing, harvesting and using 10 easy and more common herbs in The Green Guide to Herb Gardening. This book will take you from seed all the way to uses of each herb including the culinary, cosmetic, remedy, ornamental, and household uses. It also explores the history, folklore and magic of each of the herbs. There are culinary recipes, recipes for potpourri, recipes to help minor maladies, and recipes to make household cleaning items....

Reviewer: M.L. Benton Publisher, Echoed Voices Magazine from Texas
Author Deborah C Harding has written a winner in "The Green Guide to Herb Gardening." I can't decide what I like about this book the most, from picking the ten most Popular Herbs, Recipes, Remedies, Magickal Lore or even the format.

Ms Harding has taken the ten most popular herbs, and put together a sure fire way to propagate, prepare and to preserve. With the added history and lore, recipes and remedies, all together. For the first time we do not need 5 different books to learn of an herb. Its all in one. With easy step-by-step directions, wonderful mouth watering recipes, and over a hundred easy home remedies that can save the consumer a mint!

From the beginner gardener to the professional farmer, whether you only have room for two pots, or you have 100 acres. Whether you want to spice up a dish, decorate, beautify yourself or your home.This is the book for you(. . .)
