This is a superb book. Anne Stobart has crafted a beautiful handbook which shares both the breadth and depth of her knowledge in a highly practical and well structured work. To create and manage a medicinal forest garden requires knowledge about a wide range of subjects. Anne is in the unusual position of having expert knowledge of all of them, and each chapter reflects that expertise.Part One of the book deals with general principles and consists of seven chapters.1 The medicinal uses of trees and shrubs2 Designing3 Establishing and maintaining4 Propagating and provenance5 Harvesting6 Herbal preparations7 Scaling up the harvestThroughout Part One are various feature spreads on relevant subjects that complement the chapters. Topics include conserving natural habitats with medicinal plants, forest bathing and deep relaxation in Norway, medicinal trees and water management, designing a medicinal forest garden for a small space, harvesting cramp bark, distilling new flavours and fragrances from nature, intercropping medicinal plants with cherry trees, and my own favourite - transforming a conifer plantation with medicinal trees which is about Anne Stobart's own project, Holt Wood Herbs in Devon, UK. Transforming conifer plantations is a subject which I see being raised frequently on permies.com, and I'm sure many of our members will welcome the opportunity to discuss this with her during the promotion.Part Two provides an A to Z listing profiling 40 trees and shrubs suitable for a temperate climate, including details relevant to cultivation, advice on parts for harvesting, possible indications for use, and relevant research examples and other key information.Anne has studied permaculture and used it to design her project at Holt Wood. Her knowledge and experience of permaculture are apparent in Chapter Two where she talks about designing a medicinal forest garden. I believe that even experienced permaculture designers will have a lot to learn from this chapter as she applies the general principles that we all learn during a permaculture design course beautifully and expertly to the task of helping the reader to design their own medicinal forest garden suited to their own needs and their own situation.To be honest, each chapter is written to the same standard, which seriously impresses me. For anyone interested in setting up a medicinal forest garden, whatever their current area of expertise is this book will fill in the gaps in their knowledge and enable them to make a success of their venture.Anne trained as a medical herbalist and managed the programme for professional herbal practitioners at Middlesex University in London. She runs courses on medicinal forest gardens and is a member of the advisory board for the Journal of Herbal Medicine. She has researched the history of herbal medicine for her doctoral thesis and published research articles on historical recipes and herbal medicine. She is continuing her research into agroforestry and permaculture as it relates to herbal medicine.

Great resource

easy to use with a lot of good recipes for medicinal Tree medicine.

I'd give zero stars if I could!

This book has a small section on American forrest trees and plants. No mention of how to harvest for medicinal use i.e. amounts, dosage, etc. No mention of black walnut trees or common wild nut trees. Mostly about landscaping. Book horrible and will be returning.
