My fiancee is interested in herbalism as a hobby, as well as learning about local plants in general. I'm thinking about getting her gifts related to these interests.
Does anyone know of a good intro book to herbalism (preferably one with a somewhat scientific rather than new age bent) or resources for learning about local flora? We live in Kentucky if that makes a difference.
If she's serious, then bottles and jars are really nice. Maybe some bottles of everclear.
This guy has good books

Come spring a dandelion burdock brew really helps with the liver.
if she's unable to find research on her own she's unable to get into it.
