    As someone interested in herbal remedies, “The Healing Garden” seems like an invaluable resource for my homework on alternative medicine. My classmate told about youtube review of mysupergeek. Juliet Blankespoor’s expertise in herbalism, coupled with practical advice on growing and harvesting herbs, makes this book a must-read. I’m excited to find out even more about herbal remedies and explore the culinary and medicinal uses of various plants outlined in the book.
