I have been growing herbs for more than 30 years and this book reflects the knowledge I have gained over that time and share not only in The Essential Herbal magazine but also in lectures and programs given to garden groups, garden expos, libraries, and botanic gardens and arboretums.

Our first issue was INFUSION and the second was published in 2022, called GROWING LAVENDER IN THE MIDWEST and the third BEGINNER MOCKTAILS (2023) are also available in this listing.

What is in this?

Check the detail in the description, because it varies from item to item. Everything is chemical-free and has no preservatives or anti-clumping agents.

Where do the herbs come from?

We grow all the herbs in our 3/4 acre herb garden in Addison, Illinois. We air dry them, hand blend them and don't mix in anything else.

What goes with these?

Since these are dips, dressings and rubs, you can use them as appetizers, salad courses and main dishes, they go with everything one way or another.
