Amazon.com Review
An excellent guide for novices and experts alike, Growing 101 Herbs That Heal combines gardening, cooking, crafts, and natural healthcare into one sturdy manual. The author's care and concern for healthy plants and people are evident on every page, and there's an astonishing amount of detail in every section. Simple plant listings cover multiple pages, outlining everything from drainage preferences to the size and color of blooms. The different garden styles presented range from formal knot gardens to carefree wild gardens, with lots of choices for raised beds and containers. Organic methods for fertilizing and pest control are emphasized--time to get familiar with beneficial nematodes! If you've already got an herbal garden in place and are now wondering what to do with your harvest, look no further. Delicious recipes for breads, soups, and salads are here, along with medicinal tinctures, creams, and bath soaks, which are great for gifts or home use. There are also straightforward tips for starting an herb-based home business from your own creations. The last section is a fascinating materia medica that devotes a separate page to each herb, going into beneficial companion plants, harvesting time, market value, and home pharmacy uses. From common peppermint to the unusual yerba de la negrita, you'll enjoy the lovely pictures at least as much as the helpful information. --Jill Lightner

 Green Medicine
This book is a must for anyone who wants to successfully grow herbs and harvest nature's bounty. It is laid out in a simple, straight forward manner; while the details are rich, the charts precise, the personal illustrations covering everything you need to know to get started. Tammi Hartung, medical herbalist, has done a thorough and insightful job of sharing her knowledge and passion for a greener world.

Very good herbal
This is an intelligently written and user-friendly book on herbs. Written by someone who actually uses the herbs she writes about, the information is much more pertinent than someone who has simply researched herbs in books. Not only is the growing information valuable, the ideas for using the herbs is terrific too. Good for the beginner and intermediate herb gardener and even for the advanced herb grower who may not know some of the many herbs covered in this book.

This book is a great book even if you dont know to much about herbs.
This book is great! It has very detailed information on how to grow and care for the herbs/plants it talks about in the book. It also has good info on how to care for the soil, basic plant bugs and how to keep them away, a few recipes for using the herbs in your food, and more.
