Lavender Vows (The Medieval Herb Garden Series 1)

Lavender Vows (The Medieval Herb Garden Series 1) Review



**Special Price for a Limited Time**

First in the Medieval Herb Garden Series, a short novel (about 80 pages) of passion and love in Medieval England. Now with exclusive excerpts.

Lord Bernard of Derkland needs to find a wife, if for no other reason than to satisfy his father and his incessant badgering. He has no interest in marrying, but when he meets the beautiful and gentle Joanna of Swerthmore, he knows immediately that she is the one.

The only problem is: she's already wed.

Readers who like Roberta Gellis, Catherine Coulter, Tina St. John, and Paula Quinn will enjoy this book.

Herbs! Creative Herb Garden Themes and Projects

Herbs! Creative Herb Garden Themes and Projects Review



Herbs are a wildly popular choice for gardeners; they are easy to grow and preserve and they have multiple benefits. Herbs add flavor to your recipes; enhance grilled meat, fish, and poultry; and can be used to make pestos, herb butters, and teas. In addition to the flavor benefits, herbs are used as a natural source for healing, and to add a fresh scent to any room. Judy Lowe makes it easy to decide what kind of herb garden you want to grow, with this beautifully illustrated book of themed herb gardens. More than a dozen specialty herb gardens are featured with a full-color, inspirational illustration of the “planting recipe” for your theme. Gardeners won’t know where to stop, once they get started with the beauty, scent, and flavor of herbs.

"...guides you through every stage of cultivation, from designing the garden to achieving a healthy crop"--House Beautiful

Everyone knows that herbs heal and make food delicious, but have you considered how they can add to the beauty of your garden? From simple window boxes to color-themed borders to traditional knot gardens, these plans will open your eyes to the ornamental possibilities of these versatile plants. As always, good design is the essential starting point, and this guide will take you through every stage of the process: siting, choosing a layout, constructing paths and walls, and embellishing the plot with seats, sundials, statuary, and topiary. There's detailed information on planting, and advice on making the most of their colors, shapes, textures, and scents. Eight specially photographed case studies of established herb gardens show how all these elements come together to produce a magnificent and enviable garden, and a plant directory selects and describes fifty of the very best herbs.
