Description
Lily of the valley, hyacinths, boronia, and wattle: these names evocative of mossy banks and flower-beds overflowing with sweet-smelling and brilliantly-coloured plants; of lazy butterflies flitting over arches trailing honeysuckle and old-fashioned roses.
A Perfumed Garden is a recreation of those gardens of yesterday and is based on Frances Kelly's own experience in creating a perfumed garden. Written with authority the book covers all aspects of selection, painting and growing of perfumed plants.
Australia has a rich heritage of native perfumed plants and Frances Kelly had researched an included in her text those plants which are available for cultivation.
Penny Dowie's superb illustrations coupled with the text will long make this a favourite book with garden lovers.
