A fragrant garden is possible
throughout the year and even after dark as there are scented
plants that attract night flying pollinators with perfume that
carries on the breeze which is to the benefit of all that walk
there.
Because of the short days in
winter, there are many scented plants flowering in December
and through to the Spring; like the Christmas box or the Algerian
winter iris which is not only wonderful in the garden but
also useful in an arrangement on the festive table.
A scented garden is also very
sensual in that the foliage emits aromatic oils when people
casually pass by or when crushed underfoot as in the case of thyme
or camomile, but it is only through good planning that the
perfumes will come together as a whole along with their visual
impact.
