Britain’s most famous history of plants, Gerard’s Herball, features hundreds of flora and fauna alongside many beautiful illustrations. First published in 1597, John Gerard’s history of plants was originally almost 1,500 pages and included many wild plants that had never been put into print before. The many illustrations in this wonderful volume bring the ancient herbs and plants to life. This volume is divided into several sections: - The Herbal - Spring - April - May - June - July - August - Autumn - Winter
