Gardening & Environment Health & Medicine
Backyard Pharmacy by Elizabeth Millard is a lushly illustrated 2020 hardcover that turns even the smallest patio into a living medicine cabinet. Millard, a veteran organic farmer, walks readers through choosing, planting, and harvesting everyday herbs—calendula, lemon balm, tulsi—then crafting them into salves, teas, and tinctures.
The 208-page guide pairs step-by-step photos with jargon-free instructions, so beginners and seasoned gardeners alike can swap store-bought remedies for home-grown wellness. Expect soil-ready layouts, seasonal care charts, and simple DIY recipes that fit busy schedules and tight budgets.
This very-good, smoke-free copy keeps its pages crisp and color plates vibrant, ready for kitchen-table browsing or gift-giving. Natural-health enthusiasts, hobby gardeners, and sustainability-minded families will reach for it again and again.
