Praise Herbal Houseplants by Susan Betz

“Susan’s “up close and personal” style is bound to win friends and influence readers. She writes reassuringly about herbs as “good friends” that you can trust to make life better. Just give them a try and see what works best for you and your space.

But growing herbs as houseplants is not all about “how to”. All the herbs that Susan suggests are so intensely fragrant and have such interesting textures – silky eucalyptus, spiky rosemary, velvety horehound, – that you will not be able to resist stroking them and breathing deeply. What better way to relax than with herbs at your fingertips!”-Deni Bown © 2021, Author Royal Horticultural Society/Herb Society of America Encyclopedia of Herbs & Their Uses.  Dorling Kindersley 1995, 2001

“Besides cultivation information, Herbal Houseplants is filled with Susan’s years of experience with herbs. There are many recipes in ‘Preserving Your Herbal Harvest’, from drying and freezing to butter, syrup, vinegar, and mustard.”- Susan Belsinger, Herbalist and author of Grow Your Own herbs: The 40 best Culinary Varieties For Home Gardens.
