FRAGRANCE IN THE GARDEN
The power of scent more than any other of the senses, has the magic to take us places, whether it's a new flower that carries you off to an exotic unknown land, or a familiar and beloved lilac or rose that transports you back in time to a favourite auntie's garden where you made daisy chains as a child. A garden full of scent is not only sensual and emotionally evocative to us humans, it is also a real draw to the insect world tempting in the goodies and in some cases warding off the badies. Matt Tanton Brown, no stranger to our group, brings his horticultural prowess to bear on scent and the best plants that capture its magic, and how to put them to ascetic and practical use in our gardens.
