The Smells of Summer

Fragrant flowers are an often overlooked (or under-smelled) feature of the garden. But planting a garden full of fragrant flowers delights the nose, both day and night.

The summer garden is full of wonderfully fragrant plants to tickle your nose and calm your senses. Here are some images taken yesterday in the garden…if only they were scratch and sniff!

Echinacea

When thinking about fragrance in the garden, don’t forget about foliage as well. Plants like rosemary and Illicium are amazing additions to your fragrance palette.
