Beyond Rosemary, Basil, and Thyme is a unique book that encompasses seventy interesting and uncommon herbs. Several of the described plants are cat’s whiskers, cape mallow, caracalla, jasmine star, pepiche, porterweed, and scented geraniums. Each herb is outlined with history, a description, culture and growing, propagation and uses. You will find herbs easy to use in the kitchen, herbs to grow in the landscape, and many herbs to plant in containers for the deck or patio. It’s about fragrance and beautiful flowers! The book has many tasty recipes and how-to directions for herbal projects!

 What sets this book apart from others are the interesting plant stories written by the person who discovered the herb, or who is a specialist about the plant. Discoveries were made around the globe and some of these stories haven’t been told like this before. Whether you use this book for the recipes or growing tips or to learn more about these unusual plants, you are treated to Theresa Mieseler’s passion and experience on every page. The paperback edition has 200 plus pages with beautiful photographs for each plant.
