I’m a gardening expert and these are the 14 most fragrant flowers to have in your garden
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.

When I looked over and saw this all unfolding, I felt a unique sense of euphoria. If you had told me when I was 18 that I would take my parents to a Pride parade as an out and proud lesbian and they would wave their rainbow flags with the best of them, I never would have believed you. That, however, is exactly what happened on 2 July when myself, my parents, girlfriend and best friend went to Pride in London , an event that marked 50 years since the first pride parade in 1972.
