Summary: The Ultimate Green Witches Guide
Review: For anyone who is interested in both Witchcraft and magical gardening this is the book for you. Kate West explains in her usual clear style how to grow herbs to use in your own spells or herbal remedies. She details the creation of your own sacred space within your garden, where you can truly meet the Gods and Goddesses on your home ground.

A great book highly recommended

Summary: Use this book for developing the "green" section of your BOS
Review: While it does include helpful growing advice it isn't a how to book on gardening. Which is good because the focus is on the beautiful rituals which make up a good portion of the content. Besides those for growing healthy plants and dedicating your garden as sacred space, the author has included very special ones for the Sabbats that really highlight the connection of nature and Wicca. I thought the one for Mabon was particularly good in the way she ties all the elements as well as the God and Goddess into the tending of the garden.

Because of the rituals, ideas for laying out gardens in witchy styles and the fairly extensive list of plant correspondences this book goes into my top ten list of most often referred to books.
