Jane Griffiths is a television producer, writer, artist and traveller who has been growing organic vegetables and herbs for more than fifteen years. Her best-selling Jane's Delicious Garden has led to a vegetable revolution in South Africa, with thousands of home growers now following in her green footsteps. Her second book, Jane's Delicious Kitchen, is a collection of delicious recipes for making the most of seasonal abundance.

A beautiful book with lots of practical advice. I have a passion for herbs not just for using them to enhance the flavour of food, but to bring colour into a garden or even a windowsill. My other passion is using them as essential oils. In this book, Jane Griffiths shows how to set up a herb garden, in all its forms as a classical garden or used in pots or to add to beds. There is so much information on how and what to grow.

Use this book to help plan your perfect space to grow herbs. They are such remarkable life-giving plants and even just their aroma is enough to help you get through a stressful day.
