Algy's
Herb Page - Currently Under Construction
- This is certainly one of the most interesting
places on the web and has been so for a number of years. Despite
the odd "handle" Algy's Herb Page has provided one of
the earliest broad reference to the rational study of herbal
products. The variety of information from medicinal
herbs, culinary herbs, recipe exchange to a fascinating
library of online books on herbal medicine and even a tutorial on growing
your own herbal garden. What more could you ask for.
