More and more people are using herbs, growing and gathering them, and studying them for their enlivening and healing properties. Whether in the form of plant therapy, a dye garden, or a new favorite recipe, herbs can clearly enhance your life.

In the 2017 edition of the Herbal Almanac, we once again feature some of the most innovative and original thinkers and writers on herbs. We tap into the practical, historical, and enjoyable aspects of herbal knowledge—using herbs to help you reconnect with the earth, enhance your culinary creations, and heal your body and mind. The thirty-one articles in this almanac will teach you everything from growing a square-foot garden to the etymology of the herbs you might plant there. You’ll also learn how to create cosmetics from natural ingredients, to grow a garden that’s beneficial to bees, and to craft cordials and liqueurs. Enjoy!
