Spirits in The Garden is a unique book in its kind that educates, entertains and feeds the spirit and our visual senses. There is a pandemonium of colors throughout this excellent book that serves as a guide to natural herbs and beauty of nature as a whole. The author includes herbal preparations to relieve several symptoms and tells us about the history and values of each herb. She urges readers to look at a garden in a different way: not just see the plants, but also ‘feel’ them, to allow themselves to “see life from a fresh perspective.”
At the back of the book there is a list of sources for products, and information about books that inspire and inform. Also there is a small collection of her paintings. It is worth visiting the author’s site www.joansolomon.com and viewing her whole art collection. Joan is an excellent artist and writer, and this book is a great gift for anyone loving art, as well for those interested in herbal remedies.
