Creating a Fragrance Garden

Jennifer Dodd, Jardiniere Bath and Body Care

12:00 PM to 12:30 PM — Room 105

Come smell and behold all that a fragrance garden has to offer and learn how to grow your own! Learn from a Master Gardener how to develop a sensory garden complete with:

• Living aromatherapy – calming, energizing, mood lifting
• Natural fragrance for the home (vs. chemical-based air fresheners)
• Keeping the sense of smell sharp, which can decline with age
• Positive associations from scents that evoke good memories (especially from childhood)
• Encouraging growers to keep cultivating heirloom varieties that might otherwise be lost to new, scentless varieties
• Choosing fragrant plants to grow from scent “families”
• Resources for learning more about fragrance gardening.
