"The Healing Garden" is a practical guide to a wide range of ways in which the garden can be made into a place to heal body, mind and soul. Interpreting "healing" in its widest sense, the book explores historical traditions of gardens as places of peace and meditation and as a source of medicinal plants. Each chapter deals with one kind of healing and introduces specific plants of interest, explaining their uses in a variety of contexts - from edible feasts to folklore remedies.
