How to enjoy thriving fragrant plants in your garden, on your balcony or in your courtyard.

Smell the roses! Savour the lavender!

Sweet, rich orange blossom; heady, aromatic daphne; sharp, refreshing mint; or subtle, alluring roses - nature's perfumes are a wonder. They tantalise the senses, mark the seasons and evoke memories of people, places and occasions.

Fragrant plants - from lovely flowers, vines and herbs to showy shrubs and trees - offer some of the purest joys of the garden. And there's a beautiful selection to choose from. Whether you live in the warm tropics or in a cool climate, whether you have a large backyard, a narrow passageway or a compact balcony/courtyard, there's a scented plant to suit your place.

Yates Top 50 Fragrant Plants and How Not to Kill Them! brings together the top 50 fragrant plants to stimulate your senses. With information about soil needs, feeding and climate, and stunning, inspirational photos, this handy reference puts growing fragrant plants within reach of everyone, whatever your garden space and level of experience.

About the Author

Yates is the number-one bestselling gardening brand in Australia and New Zealand. In 1895 Arthur Yates saw the need for a publication that answered gardeners' questions so he wrote the first Yates Garden Guide, a comprehensive gardening book that is still published more than 125 years later. Angie Thomas is a horticultural consultant to Yates, and is passionate about the health and benefits of gardening, and about teaching and inspiring people how to garden. She is also mad about growing food and filling her house with indoor plants and the scents from her garden.
