Summary

In Blackberry Cove the herbs are wild and free to spring up wherever the wind carries their seed. So for this lovely guide to nature, healing, and wisdom, herbalist Linda Rago organizes her herbal lore and wisdom into months and seasons with brief essays on the wild and common herbs a wanderer through Appalachia might discover on a walk during that time of year. Each month is introduced by an essay evoking the weather and nature with a legend of two woven into the reality of life in the hill country of America. In Linda's descriptions of the herbs she includes their natural habits and healing qualities, sometimes a recipe for a traditional remedy, lotion or ointment and often a sauce, jelly, vinegar or tea.
