In The Healing Garden, Deb Soule, longtime herbalist and founder of Avena Botanicals, offers an inspiring guide to herb gardening and crafting herbal remedies that promote wellness of spirit and body. Deb combines her passion for plants, gardens, and healing with her extensive experience working with medicinal herbs, flowers, roots, and berries.

Her practical advice addresses each aspect of fostering a garden filled with helpful, healing plants: Biodynamic® gardening practices; gathering plants and setting up a drying room; and creating herbal teas, decoctions, tinctures, syrups, tonics, vinegars, essences, and more. A chapter outlining eighteen medicinal herbs provides detailed information on their cultivation and healing properties. Molly Haley's colorful photography showcases Avena Botanicals' lush herb gardens in all seasons. The Healing Garden is grounded in respect for the interconnectedness of all living beings and is an eloquent plea for spiritual awareness and the wholeness of individuals, communities, and our planet.

Sebastian ★★★★★

Deb Soule's instructions for making tinctures and salves from what you grow are the part I keep coming back to, and they're written clearly enough for a total beginner like me. I've already started a small pot of calendula on my windowsill because of this book.

Steven M. ★★★★★

Deb Soule clearly knows her plants, and it shows in how she connects the act of growing them to real wellness of spirit. I flipped through it once and immediately wanted to start my own garden.

Jason ★★★★★

The herbal remedy recipes are easy to follow even for a total beginner like me, and I've already made a calming chamomile blend from my tiny balcony pots. Deb Soule writes about gardening and wellness in a way that feels personal rather than preachy.
