Greenspell Bookshelf

Welcome to the Greenspell Bookshelf!

Below you will find many of the books that I recommend students and clients interested in herbalism, herbal medicine making, ecology, and stewardship. Many of these books influenced the writings throughout the Greenspell Virtual Garden. I did my best to organize them into categories that make sense, but you will find some books in more than one category.

Remaining accessible requires that we do whatever we can to raise funds for our free or low-cost offerings. If you purchase books from our Bookshop.org 'store' or using any affiliate links throughout the Virtual Garden or our website, we make a small commission from purchases made through those links, at no extra cost to you. Any purchases made through affiliate links are greatly appreciated as they support our work to provide quality and accessible herbal education to our community, and enable us to continue to create and share with you!
