Summary
All too often a garden is only a show-piece for colour and shape: without that extra dimension of perfume it loses its soul. In this book the author presents over a thousand plants which she finds best able to provide… a framework for a fragrant garden, how to grow them and how to bring their flavours indoors. A bonus is the rediscovery of plants that have been grown and used in the past in Egypt and Rome, through the Middle Ages and Tudor England to the Victorians. 1981.
