Make scents

NOW'S THE TIME TO PLANT UP A PLOT OF PERFUMED PERFECTION

- DAVID DOMONEY

FRAGRANCE is one of the most captivating features of a garden.

Whether it rises from roses in full bloom or drifts from aromatic herbs in the sun, scent transforms outdoor spaces into soothing sanctuaries that awaken the senses.

As we celebrate Rose Awareness Week, consider investing in some fragrant plants for the garden this weekend... not only will you love them, bees and other pollinating insects will thank you too.

FRAGRANT FLOWERS

June is a standout month for scented flowers. Roses take centre stage, with varieties like 'Desdemona,' 'Fragrant Cloud,' and 'Twice in a Blue Moon' offering exceptional fragrance and flowering displays.

Choose plants in bloom so you can assess their scent before buying.
