The Great Herb Tour

Description

An amusing account of Christina Hindhaugh's travels, after being awarded the prestigious Churchill Fellowship to study methods of growing herbs. Infused with musings on life and lots of interesting facts and lore about herbs, the book also contains some instructive information about the medicinal use of herbs.

"I became obsessed with everything about herbs, their history, and botany, their flavour and fragrance plus, most of all, their legendary healing powers. I loved the way herbs connect us all back to the earth, to nature: how, in this post-modern intensely urbanised world, a tiny pot of herbs on a high-rise windowsill can link us to the Source." -Christina Hindhaugh
