Bridger issued the following announcement on July 28.
Most homeowners plant flowers and shrubs with colorful blooms and variegated leaves to enhance the view from their porch and improve curb appeal. But what if you could also add fragrance to the mix?
Enter the scent garden.
In the same way that you light a lemon-scented candle in the kitchen to mask pet odors and last night's fish dinner, a scent garden is literally flower beds and bushes that are planted with fragrance in mind. It results in a lawn, patio, and walkways that are infused with pleasant scents all summer long.
"You're actually missing out if you don't choose plants for their fragrance as it adds an extra dimension to your garden and makes it more appealing," says Susan Brandt, the green thumb at Blooming Secrets.
The impact of scent is distinctive and closely rooted to memories—and a garden without fragrance will seem sterile and somehow not quite right, adds Isara Ongwiseth, lead designer at FormLA Landscaping.
Gardening is a balm—especially now during these fraught times of the novel coronavirus—so up your green thumb game by adding fragrant flowers, herbs, and shrubs to your property. Here's more about sowing a scent garden, including which flora to put in and where to place it for maximum olfactory impact.
