Gardens of Fragrance

There are many factors that contribute to a beautiful garden, and one often overlooked aspect is that of perfume and aroma. This vintage book contains a detailed guide to gardening that concentrates on scent and the role it plays in a successful flower garden, exploring which flowers produce different kinds of scents, how they can complement each other, and more. Contents include: "Perfume versus Colour", "The Garden of Day", "The Garden of Night", "Flowers of Yesterday", "Flowers of To-Day", "Scent and Song", "Miniature Gardens", "Birds, Bees, Butterflies, and Roots", "Climbing Plants", "Trees and Shrubs", "The Water Garden", "Lawns and Paths", "The Pot-Pourri Jar", etc. This volume will appeal to keen gardeners and those with an interest in designing beautiful, aromatic flower gardens. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on gardening.
