Herb Topiaries by Sally Gallo

Herb Topiaries by Sally Gallo
This is such a cute and practical little book. It's old; it came out in 1992.

Sally covers topiary basics before going into the perfect plants for topiaries: Victorian Rosemary, Lemon Verbena, Scented Geraniums, and Dwarf Sage, to name a few.

Sally reminds us that gardening in pots—working with topiaries—offers all the pleasures of gardening on a larger scale. Of course, the epitome of this pastime is training fragrant, potted herbs into traditional topiary shapes. Sally walks us through it all.

Sally's book is delightfully illustrated, and she provides the history, lore, and culture of a dozen favorite herbs ideal for topiaries—another thoughtful feature of this book.
