In The Healing Garden, Deb Soule, founder of Avena Botanicals,
offers an inspiring guide to herb gardening and crafting herbal remedies
that promote wellness of spirit and body. Soule 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; 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.
