Grow Your Own Medicine: Handbook for the Self-Sufficient Herbalist (Herbology for Beginners)

This book is GREAT! I really do enjoy it. The format is great, the information is great, but with that being said I wish there was a bit more information about how to grow each herb. The information dances around the explicit how-to; it tells me great information, but in practical use, it is a bit lacking.That being said, I can establish which herbs I want to plant from this book and do more extensive research on the how-to side of it. I just thought that is what I was paying for with this book, and that is not the case. I was pleasantly surprised about how easy the book is to read. I want to order Ava Green's other book, but a bit worried it too will not have the information I am looking for.

I actually love the book but I had to download the other part of the book which I did not want and it wouldn't download the other part of the book kept taking me to another site not even letting me scan the middle page where I'm supposed to download it

Very easy to understand! This book has step by step instructions on how to grow and use medicinal herbs. Also problems that might be encountered and how to resolve. I was pleasantly surprised, there were things that I didn’t know, and it was explained in such a way that made it interesting…not boring. Another thing I was surprised about is how a book on herbs held my interest throughout. Very well written. This is an honest review, but to let you know, I was given the electronic copy for free in exchange for a review. With that being said, I will be ordering the hard copy at my own cost to have it in my collection.

I love this book. It's perfect for beginners and even very informative for non-beginners. My favorite parts are the little icons on the herbs that tell if it's culinary, medicinal, etc; the recipes sprinkled throughout the book; and the wonderful illustrations. I fully believe it's definitely a must have for anyone interested in gardening, especially for those looking to grow medicinal plants.

I got this book for free and have enjoyed it so much!It talks about the history of herbs, how to garden, to be mindful of herbs in nature, and talks specifically about certain herbs. It walks you through gardening, soils, zones.You’ll learn about a handful of herbs and what they’re good for.This is worth every penny if you are just beginning!

I love how the book explains the basics and how easy it is to find every discussed topic when you go back for it. Clear instructions and great editing. A must have for the beginners.

Many books focus on one aspect. Like medicinal uses, others on gardening, and so on. This gives a little bit of everything so is a great resource for beginners.

Such a cute book, but it has arrived falling apart. I don't think the pages were glued in properly and are falling off the book. :(

This book looked nice but was far too simple, and much smaller than expected for the price.I would say it would suit a brand new gardener, not someone with any experience as it was really over-simplified, and not enough plants covered. I returned this item
