"Every summer you hang stalks of lavender you've harvested and snip calendula and echinacea blooms, some of which make it into a garnish for a post-gardening cocktail. But otherwise, you're really not sure what else to do with the herbs you've grown. Herbalist and Avena Botanicals founder Deb Soule has written a book just for you: The Healing Garden: Herbs for Health and Wellness."
