There is no better feeling in my opinion than stepping out onto your patio once the warmer weather has arrived, and breathing in the fresh, calming scent of your favorite flowers. It adds a certain charm and elegance, and a sense of relaxation to your patio ideas.
The evocative nature of scent in the garden has always been hugely important to me, in the almost 20 years that I've been gardening. Even when I had the tiniest outdoor deck at the back of my city apartment, I filled it with containers of aromatic herbs and grew jasmine next to the seating area, which never failed to give me a lift whenever we sat outside.
