A Garden of Herbs by Eleanour Sinclair Rohde is a charming and informative book that blends practical gardening advice with historical and literary insights about herbs. First published in the early 20th century, the book reflects Rohde’s deep appreciation for both the aesthetic and utilitarian values of herbs in the garden. She discusses a wide range of herbs—culinary, medicinal, aromatic, and ornamental—offering details on their cultivation, historical uses, folklore, and appearances in literature. The book often references old herb gardens, monastic traditions, and Elizabethan practices, making it not just a guide to growing herbs but also a cultural history.
