Critics Review
“Through personal anecdotes and vivid vignettes, Corinne Martin sweeps you along to riverbanks, bayous, woods, cow pastures, and fields of Louisiana to meet the most amazing characters—the healing plants. Louisiana Healing Garden is packed with unforgettable scenes and information. You will learn the plants of Louisiana like never before.” - Tammany Baumgarten, founding president of the Native Plant Initiative of Greater New Orleans
“What some folks call a weed, the author sees as a gift, full of purpose, history, and healing. In Louisiana Healing Garden, Corinne Martin teaches about the many benefits of the plants around us. But she doesn’t just teach about the herbs; she gives them character, story, and soul. You’ll never look at the green world around you in the same way.” - Bayli Quick Brossette, curator of the Briarwood Nature Preserve
“In Louisiana Healing Garden, you will find both plants that feel familiar and plants that you’ve never encountered. With each plant story, you will deepen your understanding of the connection of nature to community and health. This book is a refuge, inviting you to discover your own healing garden where you will dig down into the earth and plant seeds.” - Jennifer Blanchard, LSU instructor of horticulture
