Celebrate the diverse culinary, medicinal, aromatic, and decorative properties of herbs with an all-in-color illustrated guide to cultivating them anywhere, effortlessly. Planning and planting instructions are given for all kinds of herbs—hedges, flowering, medical—and for all types of habitat, and an easy-to-access directory provides full growing information, uses, and other vital statistics for 200 plants, both familiar and exotic. Budding herbalists can see at a glance if a particular species suits their site as well as their needs. Sprinkled throughout are innovative spreads dedicated to such topics as herbal beauty preparations; classic recipes for drinks and sauces; lavender linen sprays and potpourri sachets; and ideas for using herbs as decorative accents around the house.

Just in time for reveling in the abundance of summer, Collins & Brown offer two large-format guides. In The Ultimate Herb Book: The Definitive Guide to Growing and Using Over 200 Herbs, Antony Atha introduces a broad range of useful plants. Alongside dozens of photographs, Atha traces the history of herbs, describes the various types and then covers 200 individually, supplying vital statistics and medicinal and culinary uses as well as discussing ease of cultivation. Recipes are included where appropriate, and warnings of potential dangers are prominent. A glorious stand-alone companion volume, The Ultimate Flower Arranging Book, by Judy Spours, illustrates this venerable art. She covers methods of flower selection and preparation, the color spectrum, choosing containers and techniques for drying and preserving flowers and making wreaths and topiary. More than 800 lovely large photos showcase individual blooms and beautiful arrangements.
