Review
Who hasn't been seduced by the scent of a tree still wet from the rain, the sight of a towering tree swaying in the wind, or one blinking bright new buds at the first sign of spring? Are memories of climbing to the highest bough of your favorite tree still fresh in your mind? You can still enjoy a communion with trees by growing, buying, or using the myriad products that spring from the roots, bark, leaves, flowers, and fruit of the wide variety of trees profiled in The Herbal Grove.
Many people think of herbs as low-growing, leafy plants and flowers. But many trees offer flavors, scents, and medicinal benefits similar to those of smaller herbs. Enjoy the lineage and lore of herbal trees from China, Egypt, ancient Greece and Rome, and around the globe. Discover how, when, and where to plant trees such as sassafras, pomegranate, and Osage orange. Sample the interesting array of recipes, from culinary choices such as Elderberry Jelly and Almond-Garlic Soup, to cosmetic and medicinal selections like Carolina Allspice Perfume Cream and Balm of Gilead Salve. Join the celebration of our venerable trees in this beautifully photographed volume.
