The Kew Gardener's Guide to Growing Herbs: The art and science to grow your own herbs (Volume 2) (Kew Experts, 2)

This is a great book for anyone interested in herbs. Lots of information about the plants. Plus some nice ideas about different ways to grow and use the herbs.

This is a beautiful book, very well organized and informative.

First, I would like to thank NetGalley and White Lion Publishing for providing me with a free PDF ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.I have recently been motivated to start my own herb garden since I now cook all meals at home for my family. I was excited to be chosen to review this book and eagerly jumped in, looking for herbs I was familiar with. This book provides a fantastic review of several herbs and how to grow and harvest them, and also discusses their various uses. Different types of herb gardens are presented, as well as herbs for different seasons, climates, other variables. Unfortunately, after the first day, the PDF stopped working in Adobe Digital Editions and I was not able to finish the book in its entirety, but from what I viewed, I would absolutely purchase a copy to reference once I start my garden.#TheKewGardenersGuideToGrowingHerbs #NetGalley

Also, the ebook version has an interactive table of contents which is very handy.Much of the photography is from stock photos, but all of the project photos are purpose made for this edition. The culture information is straightforward and peppered with good tips and tricks for encouraging the best performance from all of your plants (and taming the 'beasts' like mint and comfrey).Four stars.
