The book delves into the various types of herbs, their uses, and their significance across history, with a particular focus on those commonly found in British gardens. Northcote aims to not only educate readers on the cultivation of herbs but also to revive knowledge and appreciation for these plants, many of which have fallen out of favor.  At the start of the book, the author introduces the concept of herbs, emphasizing the difficulty in defining what qualifies as a herb. She suggests that herbs encompass aromatic plants suitable for consumption, while acknowledging that some do not fit neatly into this category. The opening portion also hints at the rich historical and cultural significance of herbs, with references to their use in cooking, medicine, and various rituals. Northcote highlights the enduring appeal of herbs and underscores the need for a rediscovery of traditional knowledge associated with these plants, setting the stage for a comprehensive exploration that follows.
