THE COMPLETE LANGUAGE OF HERBS

$49.00

A definitive and illustrated history
- S. Theresa Dietz

The Complete Language of Herbs is a comprehensive encyclopedia providing the meanings, powers, facts, and folklore for over 500 herbs and spices.

Along with a beautiful visual depiction, each entry provides the herb or spice’s scientific and common names, characteristics, and historic meanings and powers from mythology, medieval legends, folklore, and flower poetry.

More information about this product and who we are can be found in the tabs below.
More Information

Did you know that allspice can be added to herbal mixtures to attract money or luck? Or that sprinkling arrowroot at the doors of your home will keep guests’ negative energy from entering? Reaching the height of popularity during the Victorian era, floriographies—dictionaries of symbolic flower meanings—were an amusing pastime and art to subtly communicate unspoken emotions. To complement the success of TheComplete Language of Flowers, author S. Theresa Dietz has scoured historic sources and compiled an equally beautiful compendium in The Complete Language of Herbs, revealing the secrets and powers of hundreds of common and forgotten herbs and spices from around the world.

This beautiful reference is a must-have for gardeners, chefs, party planners, and food enthusiasts.

This bread knife is stunning. The wood is a work of art and lovely to hold while cutting your bread. The blade is super sharp and cut the bread easily without any crumbs. It is a must have for sour dough lovers!! I am in love with my knife

Versatile enamel bowls

I bought a set of these bowls with warming winter soups and one pot meals in mind. The enamel holds the heat of the soup really well which is a benefit if you’re a slow eater like me. They also look really nice and are a good size for a number of uses.

LARGE SERVING SET | WALNUT
Only the greatest multi use washing line ever!

I had been eyeing up one of these for years now and after receiving it, I am so glad I made the purchase. We use ours daily. As a young family of 5, it is used for washing, making forts and also as a fireplace guard (supervised of course). But really, we love it so much and I can see this lasting years as the quality is incredible.
