Anyone can grow herbs, whether they live in a small downtown apartment or on a country estate. The satisfaction of serving meals made with fresh herbs grown in your own garden or smelling fragrance of potpourri with herbs from a window container is hard to beat.

But cultivating herbs takes skill, care and an understanding of particular climate and soils conditions in your region. In this book, Moira Carlson describes how to select and nurture your herbs in the climate and soil of the Pacific Northwest, as well as providing a thorough introduction to the herbs - their characteristics and their particular needs and uses. An invaluable source of information, both for the beginner and the expert.

Moira Carlson is a commercial illustrator and artist. She is well known for her popular series of articles in Gardens West magazine on culinary herbs. She has been a volunteer master gardener at VanDusen Botanical Gardens in Vancouver, British Columbia. She lives in Abbotsford, British Columbia.
