A Curious Garden of Herbs - Cultivated and Wild; Culinary, Medicinal, Cordial, and Amusing; of the Eighteenth-Century Southern Frontier

A richly illustrated collection of herbal fact and lore that illuminates the ""why"" rather than the ""how"" of the historical kitchen garden. Rather than offering a how-to of gardening methods, Kay Moss and Suzanne Simmons trace herbs and their uses back to earlier times and places.
