Description
Scent adds an extra dimension to the garden, bringing aromatic associations and memories, as well as pure pleasure, to the garden experience. Specially designed to help any gardener position plants perfectly for maximum enjoyment, The Scented Garden introduces 20 unique projects that make the most of a wide range of scented plants, from those which release their scent when the leaves are brushed against or crushed, to those which have a stronger scent in the early morning or in the evening.Wherever the garden or whatever its size, The Scented Garden offers ingenious suggestions: planting a fragrant border of cutting flowers, building a honeysuckle porch, growing a sweet-smelling window box display, and lining a woodland walk with perfumed flowers. Well-illustrated and dearly explained in step-by-step instructions, The Scented Garden can help all gardeners to surround themselves with heavenly fragrance.
