Fragrant Garden

Fragrant plants add another dimension to the garden. Sitting near a scented geranium and rubbing the leaves while the evening cools, walking close enough to the herb bed to brush by the lemon verbena, or bending down to smell the iris; these plants lure us into the garden and excite our senses.
