5 fragrant shrubs that will fill your garden with a gorgeous scent this summer

During spring and summer, there is nothing better than lying back and soaking up the scent of your outdoor space. Choosing the best fragrant shrubs is a key part of creating a fragrant garden that not only looks great but smells amazing.

Not all plants are scented, so you have to choose carefully if you want to balance a beautiful garden with an incredible-smelling one. The easiest way to turbocharge the scent in a garden is by introducing a fragrant shrub. As many of them are also evergreens, they are the perfect backdrop if you want to include pops of colour from unscented plants. There is also the bonus that they will provide visual interest in the winter months.
