Summary: A Fragrant Journey
Review: When expert gardener Suzy Bales claims that you'll discover a whole new gardening world by just following your nose, you will. This is a charming book, filled with the author's own memories of her favorite fragrances such as lilacs and peonies and how one can design a garden built around the scents they love. She covers everything from planting to care to which plants work best in combination with the scented blooms you're working with. Bales also demonstrates how to bring the aroma of the garden indoors with imaginative ways to use cuttings from the garden in containers, sachets, even an easy way to force hyacinth bulbs with minimum fuss. For anyone with a nose that knows, this book is truly a treasure.

Summary: Great planting begins with great planning!
Review: Wonderful thought pattern- not many pictures, and no scratch an sniff- but the information covered is great! You can plan your fragrances by the time of day you will spend most of your time in the garden- Also by the distance you will be from the plantings... I would not want to part with this one!
