I just finished reading Harvest: Unexpected projects using
47 extraordinary garden plants by Stefani Bittner & Alethea Harampolis. You
can find out more information about the book and where it can be purchased here and find out more about the authors here. This book has only been out for a couple of weeks and
I am seeing wonderful reviews for it everywhere. I am not surprised because it
truly is an incredible book. The first thing that I noticed when going through
this book was the amazing photography. Seriously, this book is packed with
gorgeous images! Even the images on the front and back cover are enough to make
you want to pick it up. I also love the way that it is broken down. The book
goes through 47 garden plants and discusses information about planting and
harvesting each of them. It is also separated between the different season in
which the plants grow. The authors then go on to show a unique way that the
plant can be used. For example, after the information for blackberries there is
a page on how to make a summer prunings arrangement using the blackberries on
the stem and it is gorgeous! There are also ideas for making natural dyes, lip balms,
syrups, facial masks, teas and many more projects all using the plants listed
in the book. So many wonderful natural project ideas! This book has inspired me
to expand on my garden this year and try some new plants. I am really excited
to try out some new ideas, this book really is a wonderful inspiration!
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
