Imagine enjoying the smell of sweet-scented honeysuckle vines hanging from your porch trellis or walking on a delicious carpet of fragrant thyme. These are just two of the 20 simple, sweet-smelling projects offered by garden expert Richard Bird in "The Scented Garden". The photographs by Jonathan Buckley cover designs for beds and borders, climbing plants, container planting, and paths and walks. With easy-to-follow templates, 200 step-by-step illustrations on fold-out pages, and concealed wire-o-binding for laying flat while working on projects, Richard's ideas are not only inspirational but also extremely practical.
