While the renaissance in the U.S. botanical market is positive in
many respects, medicinal plant populations are suffering from loss
of habitat and overharvesting, and many bestselling herbs are now
at risk including echinacea, American ginseng, goldenseal, Hawaiian
wild kava, and wild yam. The authors share their extensive
experience with using and growing thirty-three of these popular
herbs and include suggestions for creating your own private herbal
sanctuary--whether a city balcony, suburban backyard, or rural
retreat. Full-color photographs will inspire experienced and novice
herb users alike to protect and cultivate these remarkable healing
plants. Readers will also find out how to use herbal analogues for
at-risk plants--other medicinal herbs that provide the same
benefits and exist in plentiful amounts--and learn ways to make
their herbal purchases a vote for sustainability. "Planting the
Future" shows us how we can participate in the land stewardship,
habitat protection, and eco-friendly consumption that will ensure
an abundant, renewable supply of medicinal plants for future
generations.
All author royalties will be used for replanting native medicinal
herbs on a 370-acre botanical sanctuary in Ohio.
