As the evenings stretch on in the summer months and more of us are spending time outside dining al fresco, hosting friends and family, or simply enjoying the last of the sun’s rays, you might have made, or are thinking about making, your outdoor space your very own evening retreat. 

Whether you have a spacious garden or spend more time out on your balcony or patio, one way to elevate the space is by adding some night-scented plants. That's right, these plants and flowers hold a magic power that means they are most fragrant at night.  When planning how to create a fragrant garden including some night-scented plants is a must to keep your garden smelling gorgeous when you're spending a few hours in it after work in the evening.
