160 pages : 28 cm, \"This work promotes the aromatherapy garden as a means to health, well-being and pleasure. Beginning with the ancient vision of the aromatic garden as an \"earthly\" paradise, it contemplates the roles (medicinal, theraputic and aesthetic) that scented plants have played throughout history. The featured gardens, including the author's own Gloucestershire garden and the Chelsea Physic Garden, provide an inspiration and examples of the benefits that aromatic gardens afford. Practical advice on how to build a garden around scent helps the reader to achieve the reality. The \"plant profiles\" covering 51 essential plants, guide the reader through the practicalities of cultivation, gardening, different varieties and uses.
