Wisdom of Herbs

Wisdom of Herbs shows you how to embrace the power of nature and find inspiration in its humble plants. A beautiful gift book bringing together an array of herbs from around the world. Herbs grow in abundance throughout the world, from the gardener's mellow, sweet lavender to those wild, weather-worn beauties found at the forest's edge like hairy stemmed goldenseal, or thick-leaved nettles. Each has their own unique gift and can be put to a variety of medicinal and practical uses. Whatever their story, they all have a lesson to teach - a secret which they share in the way they grow or look, or their symbolism in folklore and history. Wisdom of Herbs brings together 60 universal life lessons taken from the world's most amazing herbs. From finding inner strength to the importance of gentleness and the power of patience, this is a celebration of the unsung heroes of the plant world and an essential companion to dip into when we need a little inspiration. Teaching you about their properties and uses, this illustrated companion is perfect for anyone wanting to reconnect with the natural world.
