120 pp. "The world-famous Brooklyn Botanic Garden offers a new entry in its highly praised series, which The New York Times calls a “brilliant collection of gardening books.” Focusing on elegant designs for herb gardens, it features 9 essays by the most well-respected experts in the field; each one has a color spread by Steve Buchanan showing a 3-dimensional garden plan, plus an explanation of that plan and a mini-encyclopedia of about 12 herbs. From Susan Belsinger’s discussion of the tea garden to Scott D. Appell’s ideas for gardens filled with fragrant herbs, the topics covered are diverse and fascinating, and will appeal not only to enthusiasts of formal gardens but to cooks, butterfly lovers, container gardeners, and others."
