Leaves from Gerard's HerballPaperback, 25 January 2007

This beautiful horticultural handbook is a garden calendar, taking you on an illustrated journey through the year, detailing each season's most prominent plants, flowers, and herbs.

A revised edition of John Gerrard's 1597 Garden Herball, this gorgeously illustrated volume has been updated by Marcus Woodward to form a garden calendar, with each plant being featured in its flowering season. From tobacco and onions to poppies, sunflowers, and peach trees, England's most-famous herbal index is perfect for all who are interested in gardening and horticulture.
