trickle of water in the garden. Tempt your palate with sweet and
edible flowers, plump summer fruits, delicious gourmet vegetables
and fragrant herbs. Incorporate soft, velvety-textured plants and

aromatic bulbs, annuals, herbs and shrubs to make your own pleasure
garden. This beautiful book will show you how to add sensory
elements into the garden, whether planting a fragrant honeysuckle

wildlife, or planning beautiful borders to create romantic
atmosphere or glorious year-round colour. Imagine the captivating
scent of herbs and flowers, feast your eyes on a sunny summer
border, hear the busy hum of bees, brush past soft foliage and
taste sweet fruit freshly picked. A garden can incorporate all
these elements whatever its aspect or size. With practical planting
suggestions and delightful, evocative photographs of achievable
garden schemes, "Creating a Garden of the Senses" will inspire you
to make your garden a sensory paradise.
