Our olfactory system elicits some of the strongest emotions we can feel, so the scent of a garden should be at the forefront of your mind when planning your garden - as it is for the wonderful Jo Fairley.

Jo edits The Scented Letter, a quarterly magazine focused on fragrance, which makes her a perfect guest on the podcast to share the 12 most evocatively scented plants, from the strong fragrance of Trachelospermum to stalwart Sweet Peas.

In this episode, discover:

  • The personal history with Scented Geraniums that makes them one of Jo’s most beloved, aromatic plants
  • Which of the Roses are absolute essentials for smell, and why Jo would never plant a Rose without scent
  • Jo’s love of Sarcococca’s incredible growth, bold structure, and fragrant leaves
  • Plenty of book recommendations to inspire you with many more scented plants
