THE sumptuous new edition of RHS Encyclopedia of Herbs is a must-have bible for gardeners, herbalists and cooks – and we have EIGHT copies worth £30 each as prizes.
The 448-page encyclopedia, by Deni Bown, is published by Dorling Kindersley and endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society.
You can discover all there is to know about the beneficial properties of more than 1,000 herbs from round the globe, and learn about their uses in cookery, cosmetics and herbalism.
An illustrated A-Z section (Abelmoschus to Ziziphus) is packed with horticultural information and practical tips for growing and using the plants.
A quick identification guide includes rarely seen species as well as the familiar, and a warning symbol alerts readers to potentially toxic or harmful herbs.
Every aspect is covered from history to garden design and planting schemes, and there are intriguing sections such as ‘Herbs that changed the world’.
