For as long as I can remember, I wanted to have a beautiful garden full of fragrant shrubs. I started to pursue my dream 3 years ago and now I have quite niceand beautiful specimens.
Fragrant hedge
In the first year of having a garden, I started to create a fragrant hedge - I planted lilacs whose multitude of varieties, colors and shapes encouraged me to buy over 10 different shrubs. My favorite islilak 'Krasawica Moskwy'with white, slightly pink flowers. I also likeMeyer's lilac- low, with an intense aroma. I planted this shrub about every 5 m along two walls of an ugly mesh fence.In the corner and at the edges, the composition is enriched byJapanese tawułain several variants. Its shrubs don't smell too intense, but they have lovely flowers.
Best for fillings - Rhododendrons
In the following year, I decided to fill the gaps betweenlilacsandtawułamiI decidedrhododendronsI chose them because of the multitude of colors of their flowers and because they are evergreen shrubs. Now, even in the off-season, my property is sheltered. In the empty places that remain,eastern laurel growsIt has raised, creamy flowers with a captivating scent and, likerhododendrons , does not lose leaves for the winter!

Near the gazebo
In turn, near the gazebo there isstar magnoliawith full, white flowers. Next year, the entire structure is to be covered with:honeysuckle'Goldflame'andChinese wisteria I hope that thanks to them, staying in the gazebo will become a real aromatherapy.

It is small - there is only a couch in it, but around it there are colorful and fragrantbudleje , over which you lean outblack lilacPlanning plantings, I used plant catalogs. In them I found information about how big my bushes will grow. Thanks to this knowledge, I planted them at optimal intervals. I made a pattern of a sheet of paper, assuming that 1 square is 0.5 m.I cut circles with a diameter corresponding to the final size of my shrubs and placed them on the plan of the garden - of course, keeping the same scale. I made sure that the circles gently interlock in the case of plants that will reach different heights.
