Amazon.com Review
Scented Containers comes to us from the garden author Sue Fisher (also known from radio and TV) who began writing following a career in the nursery and garden-center business.
In the modern world, visual images and technology tend to dominate, so that sight and sound become the chief senses, leaving smell lurking in the background. This is a shame, especially where gardening is concerned, as scent is often the most delightful of the pleasures that plants and flowers offer. This book sets out to redress this imbalance by showing how plants with scented flowers or aromatic foliage can be easily grown in portable containers to give ever-changing, year-round enjoyment in different positions in the garden. Whether you are new to gardening or are a seasoned gardener looking for fresh ideas, you will find an abundance of information here, ranging from which plants to choose and how to grow them to tips, projects, and seasonal reminders offering encouragement to gardeners of all abilities.
The text is clearly set out, straightforward, easy to follow, and liberally interspersed with truly magnificent color photographs, watercolors, and black-and-white diagrams. Of particular interest are the projects, the most glorious of which is the creation of a fragrant evening garden. Others include making herb hanging baskets and constructing and growing a cone of spring bulbs. The book concludes with a comprehensive directory of scented plants and herbs for easy reference, containing practical information on how to plant and care for your containers in order to obtain maximum results with minimum work. Scented Containers succeeds in providing fragrant inspiration for any gardener. --Susan Naylor
