THE SCENTUAL GARDEN: EXPLORING THE WORLD OF BOTANICAL FRAGRANCE
Joe Lamp’l, Emmy Award-winning Creator & Host: Growing a Greener World on national public television and Founder: joegardener.com shares his impressions of the new book:
“While I admit to being a big fan of any book by Ken Druse, to my pleasant surprise, I was drawn quickly and deeply into The Scentual Garden. It’s a brilliant and fascinating journey into the most overlooked and under-appreciated dimension of plants. Ken’s well-researched information, experience and perfect examples, now has me appreciating plants, gardens, and designs in a fresh and stimulating way.”

What do you think of when you think about your garden? How often do you consider all of the fragrances of the plants in your landscape? Well, this week’s podcast is a celebration of the Scentual Garden; exploring botanical fragrance, with Ken Druse. Whether subtle or spectacular, plants can emanate fragrance from, not only their blooms, but from foliage and even stems too.
Inspiration
Have you ever noticed that most seed companies and plant catalogs rarely – if ever – mention the fragrance qualities of a plant? Foliage, form, color – these are all important characteristics to help gardeners navigate the sometimes overwhelming array of options. Yet – when you think about it – scent brings a fourth dimension to the garden experience, which is rarely addressed.
