A Garden of Herbs by Eleanour Sinclair Rohde is a classic work on the history and use of herbs, first published in 1920.
It's essentially a love letter to the old English herb garden, combining history, literature, and practical knowledge. Here's what it covers:
The Heart of the Book:
What Makes It Distinctive: Rohde draws heavily on old herbals and manuscripts - she quotes extensively from Gerard, Culpeper, Tusser, and other historical sources, so the book reads as much as a literary and historical journey as a gardening guide. It has a deeply romantic, antiquarian quality.
Practical Content Includes:
Its Legacy: It's considered one of the finest books ever written on the subject and helped revive serious interest in herb gardening in the early 20th century. Rohde went on to write many more books on garden history, but this remains her most celebrated work.
It appeals to gardeners, food historians, lovers of English country life, and anyone interested in the history of plant lore and domestic life. Whether you grow your own herbs or purchase them in stores, this practical handbook shows how to make hundreds of teas, syrups, conserves, pies, candied flowers and leaves, wines, sweet waters, and perfumes. Most of the recipes are taken from old English herbals while the author adds many of her own 20th century creations.
