There is nothing quite like stepping into a garden where the air is rich with sweet, soothing scents. Designing a sensory garden is about more than just eye-catching colour—it is about choosing plants that release delicious perfume as you walk past or sit on the patio.
🌹🌹🌹
If you want to transform your beds and outdoor seating areas into an aromatic haven, here are a few scented stars to plant right now:

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (Brunfelsia): Fills the garden air with a sweet, delicate fragrance as its blooms shift from violet to white.

Gardenias: Exceptional for planting near doorways or outdoor entertainment areas, offering lush, creamy white blooms with a rich, velvety aroma.

Star Jasmine and Orange Jasmine (Murraya 'Exotica'): Perfect for training up pergolas, fences, or trellises, releasing an intoxicating, sweet scent that intensifies during warm summer evenings.

Scented Pelargoniums & Lavender: Plant these along garden pathways! Their aromatic foliage releases soothing herbal, rose, or lemon scents whenever brushed against.

Fragrant Roses: The ultimate garden classic! Choose strongly perfumed varieties to bring deep, romantic fragrance and stunning blooms to your sunny beds and cut-flower vases.

Pro Tip: Position your most fragrant plants where natural breezes blow toward your patio or open windows, bringing those gorgeous natural scents right into your home!

Ready to add a sensory layer to your outdoor space? Pop into our Simondium nursery this week to explore our wide selection of scented plants, roses, composts, and terracotta pots! 🪴

Now is the perfect time to get your herb garden growing! 🌿

There is nothing quite like step-stepping into the garden to snip fresh basil for dinner or mint for a cool drink, but herbs offer so much more than just culinary magic. Planted along garden paths, in sunny patio containers, or on a kitchen windowsill, they add incredible texture and release the most wonderful natural fragrance every time you brush past them.

Rosemary & Thyme:Tough, aromatic, and perfect for sunny garden edges or rocky borders.
Mint & Lemon Verbena: Fast-growing favourites that release bright, refreshing bursts of citrus and menthol into the air.
Sweet Basil & Lavender: Essential for sunny spots, bringing deep aromatics and lovely soft blooms that pollinators adore.

Whether you are starting a full kitchen garden or simply adding a few fragrant terracotta pots to your patio, our Wild Emporium nursery has a wide selection of herbs ready for planting!

Pop in this week to stock up on herbs, organic compost, and pots—and enjoy a fresh coffee while you browse! ☕
