Just as the sense of smell is one of nature's most precious gifts, so the fragramce of flowers provides one of life's greatest pleasures. This work shows how a garden of any size from a window sill to several wooded acres can be transformed into a paradise of sweet perfumes and heady aromas. Drawing on her own expertise, Rosemary Verey explains which plants to use and where and how to bring their fragrance into the house using recipes and ideas from her extensive collection of antique gardening manuscripts. The book mentions over 1100 plants, and detailed planting schemes and garden design diagrams show how to make the most of the hundred of scented plants and shrubs described.
