Scent in the Garden

Summary

Fragrance is essential to every garden, and in this book Frances Perry shows how you can plan a scented garden by learning how scents are released. Scented plants vary according to the season and the time of day; some are night-scented, some smell strongest at midday; some release their scent on the breeze, and herbs give scents when crushed. From this basic knowledge, the author suggests how and where to grow scented plants for the best effect. For each season, she provides descriptions of important plants, showing height, methods of propagation and recipes. Also included is a listing of scented plants for particular purposes or situations.
