This issue of Herbal Roots Zine is all about that spicy herb Ginger. Although it’s normally found growing in tropical regions, the rhizome can easily be found in your local grocery store and grown in your own home!

Ginger is a warming herb, great for treating circulatory problems and more! Read all about Ginger in the All About pages then test your knowledge with the Fill In the Blanks Page, Word Scramble, Word Search and Crossword Puzzle.

There are four pages of recipes. Learn to make Ginger Syrup, Ginger Ale, Ginger Beer, Ginger Salve and more! On the craft pages you’ll learn how easy it is to grow your own ginger (from rhizomes purchased from your grocery store) and make some fun dried flowers out of ginger and a few other spices found in your spice cabinet.

Plus, learn how feisty ginger got her zing, a maze, coloring page and two pages of resources and references. Be sure to check out the pages on this month’s critter, the Hawaiian Tree Snail! It truly is a fascinating little creature.
