The Herb Growers Handbook for New Zealanders

Gillian Painter

Herbs play an essential part in every garden.  Not only are they often fragrant, edible and hardy, but they add a vital dimension to garden design.

This valuable guide covers all the types of herbs – fragrant, grey-foliages, native, salad, trees, shrubs and climbers, and herbs for damp or dry situations.  It discusses how to use them in your garden as a ground cover – or even as a lawn; for borders, in containers or in a formal know garden.  There are also sections on propagation, pests and diseases, and handy tables for quick reference to sowing, size, and use of herbs.
