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
