When first published in 1920, A Garden of Herbs, by Eleanour Sinclair Rohde, was presented as a small handbook for anyone interested in growing and using herbs as they had been generations before. Rohde hoped that herbs would once again be more widely grown, and she believed that even a small city or suburban garden provided the opportunity to recreate a version of the old-fashioned herb garden. A Garden of Herbs, begins with some examples of knot garden designs and then presents individual profiles of over seventy herbs -- some that are familiar as well as some that are rarely grown in our gardens or used in the kitchen anymore. Also included are five chapters of recipes for soups and salads, drinks and desserts, perfumed waters, powders and pomanders-and more, gleaned from old stillroom books, age-old herbals and a wealth of other historical books and manuscripts noted in the bibliography. This new edition of A Garden of Herbs is an unabridged republication -- not a facsimile edition. Freshly edited, with additional black and white illustrations included, to add to herb and garden lovers' enjoyment of this classic book.
