Fragrant Plants for your Garden

Scent is the result of essential oils, manufactured by plant cells and stored in plant tissues. Some flowers it’s the petals that smell sweet while others it’s the stamens or another part of the flower, thus fragrance is an important part of many garden designs. When planting fragrant flowers be sure to plant them in a spot where they will be appreciated by others.
