“This is a gorgeous book which is also extremely practical. It begins with a history of scented gardens starting in the ancient world, and then moves through medieval monastic gardens, secular pleasure gardens, and formal gardens which grew out of the Renaissance. We finally arrive in the world of modern landscape design. The thread that ties it all together is aromatic herbs used for healing as well as cooking. Lawless makes it clear that shaking things up and adapting gardens to suit a personal style is not only okay but encouraged. There are lots of ideas for how to grow scented wonders and recipes for using them to maximize their full potential.” –Anna Jedrziewski, Retailing Insights
