From the introduction to Healing Herbs to Know and Grow…
I write this in the hope that you will receive as much pleasure as I have from growing, harvesting, and using herbs. As I’ve experimented in my garden, in my mother’s garden, and my kitchen, and learned to harvest and use herbs from wild places, I’ve benefited from my connection to the earth, from the pleasure I’ve had from the flowers, the smells, and the tastes of the herbs I’ve learned to know and love. I’ve become convinced that the herbs you grow yourself, or harvest yourself from the wild, are much more effective than those you buy in stores.
