FLOWERS can add a special touch to any garden, and not just through their appearance. There are plenty of flowers that can leave your outdoor space smelling divine, where your home may be. Speaking to the Express , a spokesperson for the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) revealed the top fragrant flowers to add to your garden each season, and how best to ensure these fragrant flowers do their best. They said: “Plant fragrant-flowered plants in a sheltered area where the fragrance can be retained for longer; an enclosed courtyard or walled garden is ideal. “For smaller growing plants, plant at the front of raised beds or in containers near to the front door where their floral scent can easily be enjoyed when passing.” MORE IN GARDENING FLOWER POWER I’m a gardening expert - how to double the life of your freshly cut flowers IN BLOOM I'm a gardening expert – use a kitchen product to help flowers like roses bloom … [Read more...] about I’m a gardening expert and these are the 14 most fragrant flowers to have in your garden
