The Herbarium

A botanical encyclopedia of medicinal herbs, fungi, and the kitchen garden. Photograph a plant to name it, then browse plates, fruit and vegetables, garden flowers, teas, harvest notes, and household remedies — with the safety warnings that belong next to them. Companion beds say who shares a row, and who must be kept apart. Printable plates are one-page sheets for the garden or a frame. The bed planner sizes a timber bed and says how many plants fit. The seed calendar takes a frost date and a zone and says when to start indoors, transplant, or sow outdoors.
