This is a lovely book that gives overviews of 48 herbs and how to grow, forage and use them. There are one or two recipes for each and they are divided by season. Many need to be purchased if you live in a temperate climate, especially the ones listed for winter. There were times when I wished for more information, like I have read that there’s one kind of horsetail to use medicinally and I have always thought I had the wrong kind growing near me. He writes as if all horsetail is the same. As one online foraging site says, ˋ It is not uncommon for the different varieties of the horsetail plant to be confused with one another. You must be able to accurately identify the variety of horsetail plant you are foraging because not all varieties are equally infused with either herbal or edible properties.´ There were several times this happened. In general though, it is a well illustrated, interesting, helpful book, especially for those new to herbalism.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

As someone who only recently discovered the joys of gardening a few years ago, this book is a treasure trove of information. I already grow many of these herbs so I loved the different recipe suggestions. I also learned about so many herbs I’ve never heard of that I now need to plant in my garden! The book was well organized and the photography is beautiful.

Everything about this book has made me super excited! As a gardener and someone who prefers natural remedies when possible, Herbs in Every Season will be a must on my bookshelf. I love that the herbs are broken down into season and each one gives you uses for the apothecary, in the kitchen, growing and gathering, as well as other informational tidbits. This book is not only for those with experience, but also perfect for beginners because of the amount of information given, and the recipes are clear & uncomplicated.

The photography is a perfect match to the theme of this book, the colors are perfectly saturated and moody to give off more of an apothecary vibe. Layouts are a sort of make or break for me with garden books and cookbooks, and this one couldn’t have been done any better than it already is.

I can’t wait to garden for the 2025 season and I have a few more ideas thanks to Herbs in Every Season. I will continuously reference this book throughout the season and try out new to me herbal recipes and remedies.

Thank you NetGalley and Timber Press for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. I’ll be recommending this book to my gardener friends and followers as soon as it releases.

NetGalley Review

This was a great little read, and resource. An absolutely add to any herbalist shelf. The layout, the detail, and more was outstanding.

This was a super cohesive guide to herbs and their uses. I especially loved that it separated the herbs out by seasons!

What a beautiful book! This book details each and every herb, what it is used for, how to use it, where it comes from, and recipes associated with each herb. I think it's a great introductory book for those who are new to herbs because it breaks them down in easy to digest way but even those who are well seasoned will eat this book up. The breakdown by seasons makes it even better because now I know what herbs are most beneficial durin each season and I love that!

What a lovely book! I work with herbs a lot and I know that I will be trying out a lot of the recipes in this book. The book was nicely written, it provided so much useful information about the herbs and their benefits. This book would make a wonderful gift for anyone wanting to learn more about herbs.

This book is stunning! It's easy to read, or reference. The pages are well laid out. There's information on each herb, ways it is beneficial, ways to use it, and recipes. The pictures are gorgeous. It's a very inviting book. It would look great on a coffee table, and a wonderful addition to any home.
