Petal Perfumery: Crafting a Garden of Aromas

Hello, fellow garden enthusiasts! In this episode of "In The Garden With Susan," I get into the delightful world of seed-grown fragrant flowers. Mostly because this has been my focus for the last few weeks as I am interested in flowers like never before!!
I’ll start by exploring the rich aroma of Sweet Peas and their historical and cultural roles, highlighting their colorful allure and reminding everyone of their toxicity to pets and humans. Then, we’ll revel in the timeless fragrance of Lavender and its deep connection to spirituality and emotional wellness, discussing its meditative qualities and how it influences a garden's atmosphere.
Next, I’ll illuminate the evening wonder of Night-Scented Stock and its sweet evening aroma, ideal for borders and containers. I’ll also share the serene beauty and intense fragrance of Gardenia, followed by the enduring scent and patience-requiring growth of Lilac. Let’s not forget about Jasmine, with its enchanting fragrance and various species, adding depth to any aromatic garden.
We’ll also cover Freesia, known for its powerful and sweet fragrance, and Four O’Clocks, which uniquely open in the late afternoon. Nicotiana’s strong, sweet evening scent and the sweet, honey-like fragrance of Phlox will end it all with a bang!
Join me as I share how each of these flowers can transform your garden into a sensory experience, contributing to its ecological diversity and your emotional well-being.
