Thanks for the book recommendation. I just received it through inter-library loan. I look forward to reading it this evening.

Hope you are well.

Mine was a new copy which arrived 2 days after I ordered it. It might be worth asking what the shipping costs to the US might be if you want a new copy and can’t find it elsewhere.

FYI- Amazon no longer sells this book. There are vendors on Amazon that are selling used copies. But, I googled Linda Rago, found her website and emailed her. I am waiting for my new copy from her-only $10.00 plus $3.00 s/h.

I wish someone would write an English UK Herbal using a local wise woman approach! I may have to do it myself! Thanks for the info, Tammy, I have ordered it from Amazon.co.uk for the princely sum of £0.23 which at the current exchange rate is less than 50c plus £2.75 postage and packing. You can’t pass up something as cheap as that!

Thanks for sharing this. I have it on my Amazon list but was never sure. I like what seems to be included – regardless that I’m on the other side of the world!

I’m so happy you’re finding this blog useful, Greencat. It’s one of the most enjoyable things I get to do, and it truly is a labor of love for me. And how wonderful that you’ve got your 6 acres! A whole world of herbal possibilities await. We’ve been on our little 3.5 acre plot for exactly three years now, and I can’t believe how much I’ve learned from just having the freedom and space to explore and experiment. It’s truly a wonderful blessing.

Thanks for posting this. Thanks for your entire blog. Up until 6 months months
ago I lived in very suburban Maryland. Most of my herbs came from the store. Now I’ve got my own 6 acres here in Virginia. Frequently, when I’m thinking of doing some wildcrafting or some other project such as an herbal infused oil,etc. you have already done it or are about to.

I’ve been looking at the book on Amazon.com and always ended up ordering something else. Now Blackberry Cove Herbal will definitely be the next book I order.

Tammy, you have been the next best thing to having a herb mentor living next door!

Hi Barbara! I think the “pink” that Rago mentions refers to the color of the tea and not the sassafras plant itself. The latin name for the sassafras found in Eastern U.S. is *Sassafras albidum* so as long as the bulk in your store has that latin name, it should be the same thing. Enjoy!
