Product details

A beautiful and accessible seasonal guide to herbalism from the historic botanic garden.

Discover the best times of the year for growing specific healing herbs and also when and how to forage for wild medicine, such as water mint, St John's Wort, hawthorn berries and rosehips. Recipes are included for how to use these herbs, along with folklore stories from herb wives and hedge witches, the meanings behind their names and the history of how these natural medicines were discovered.

There are plenty of tips for how to create your own medicinal herb garden, even with just a few pots, along with a biodynamic guide for sowing, planting and harvesting.

Including detailed hand-drawn line illustrations to help deepen your understanding, _The Herb Almanac_ is the perfect gift for any nature lover.
