Items related to Scent in the Garden
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.

Synopsis:
In this book Frances Perry, an expert horticulturalist and garden writer, explores one of the most vital components of any garden, scent. Ideas range from humble herbs to exotic lilies, and from ideas for window boxes and water gardens, to even a single plant in a pot. Appendices list plants for special places or purposes - climbers, plants for shady areas and sun lounges. There is also information on the history of garden fragrance from ancient, medieval and Tudor gardens to Victorian time and the present day. Finally, a chapter on recipes is included to show how to make pot pourris, herb pillows and toiletries.
