New York Botanical Garden Herb Identification Flashcards

Do you know how to use epazote and California bay in the kitchen? Do you love a cup of chamomile tea but never thought to harvest it yourself? And did you know that calendula can be a soothing tonic for your skin as well as a colorful addition to your back garden? If you, like millions of others, want to incorporate more herbal goodness into your cooking, wellness, and garden, these 100 flashcards are the ideal companion. On each card you'll find:

• a detailed illustration of an herb that can be foraged or cultivated in North America
• the herb’s popular and Latin name, as well as the other names it might be known by
• information on habitat, season, and uses

Whether you’re a curious home cook or a seasoned forager, New York Botanical Garden Herb Identification Flashcards makes it easy to identify your botanical findings and decide how they can best be used. The deck also includes a title card showing key features on each flashcard as well as a checklist of all the herbs in the deck. The laminated cards easily wipe clean after a romp through the meadows or a day in the kitchen, and the convenient size makes it easy to bring one or two to if you're shopping for herbs or toss the whole deck into a daypack for a hike.
