  Each book in the Wisley Handbooks series aims to provide a practical and comprehensive guide to a particular aspect of gardening. Written by specialists and backed by the experience of the Royal Horticultural Society, these handbooks provide a complete library of advice for amateur gardeners. This book describes a range of fragrant plants (which give off their scent freely) and aromatic plants (from which scent must be released, for example by crushing the foliage) and their scents. Many familiar plants are strongly scented - viburnum, honeysuckle and mock orange - and if planted in the right positions can enhance the garden. It includes coverage of trees and shrubs.
