Summary:
"Combining the popular subjects of
aromatherapy
and gardening, Julia Lawless promotes the aromatic
garden
as a means to health, well-being, and pleasure. This book details the history of the
scented
garden
, starting with the Persian palaces 2,500 years ago, and links this with the present-day appreciation of
essential
oils and their healing powers. Focusing on some of the most memorable fragrant gardens, past and present, then moving on to a discussion of specific
plants
and their uses, The
Essential
Aromatherapy
Garden
guides you through every stage of creating your own aromatic paradise. Featured gardens, including the author’s former Gloucestershire
garden
and the Chelsea Physic
Garden
, provide inspiration and examples of the benefits that aromatic gardens afford. Accessible, practical advice helps you to achieve the reality—whether it’s a tiny, fragrant border, a hanging basket, or a formal rose
garden
. With chapters including ‘An
aromatherapy
and Perfumery Border,’ ‘Herbs for Health and Cooking,’ ‘Planning an
Aromatherapy
Garden
,’ and ‘Secrets of the Still Room,’ the author offers invaluable advice on all aspects of your
garden
– ensuing that both the enthusiast and the aspiring gardener are catered for. Plant portraits, covering over 50 of the most
essential
aromatherapy
plants
from acasia to violet, guide you through the practicalities of cultivation, gardening, recommended varieties, and range of uses. There are plenty of ideas and tips here to transform your aromatic
plants
into effective recipe ingredients."--From publisher.
