Beginning with a comprehensive introduction of the history and uses of sage, Lovejoy then moves on to the different types of sage. Meadow sages, which are the easiest to grow for most people, are lovely to look at and can hold their own mixed in with other plants, shrubs, or herbs. For each type of meadow sage, Lovejoy explains how they do in a garden, with which plants they form pleasing partnerships, and lists the named forms of that variety. She does the same in the following chapters and sections on sages for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, in addition to classic border sages, bedding sages, dry-country sages, late-blooming sages, culinary sages, and scented sages. The last two chapters are devoted to cooking and making crafts with sage. For a traditional tonic tea, simply steep sage in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes, drain, and add honey to taste. Insert fresh common sage under the skin of a whole chicken for an aromatic and flavorful roast chicken, or use pineapple sage in a sorbet for a sweet and mellow dessert.
In The Sage Garden, Lovejoy not only shares her extensive knowledge, she also infuses each page with her love for the herb. The photographs by Grey Crawford are simple and evocative. The two merge in a paean to the ancient herb. --Dana Van Nest
