They come in various sizes, sometimes hidden, sometimes well-known: wonderfully designed, lovingly tended herb, monastery, medicinal plant, or cottage gardens that gladly open their gates to visitors. This beautifully crafted volume presents 25 of the most beautiful gardens in southwestern Germany, each characterized by its unique concept and layout. Selected wild, culinary, or medicinal herbs that are particularly found or cultivated in a specific garden receive a thorough and vivid description. Additionally, the book showcases ways to use the plants in healing or culinary applications through attractive herbal recipes. Atmospheric photos vividly capture the interesting plants while also preserving wonderful moments experienced by the author and herbal educator during her visits to the gardens.
