An encompassing guide to making and using a potpourri garden

This is a pretty unusual resource and a very exciting guide to growing your own potpourri garden. The book highlights which herbs, bulbs, annuals, perennials, shrubs and - of course - roses, to grow for your potpourri making enjoyment. There are also chapters detailing how to plant, grow, harvest, dry, store and prepare those plants for potpourri use. Specific kinds of potpourri recipes are provided, along with everything you need for stocking your workshop. Recipes are divided by seasonal mood - Spring mixes are different than Winter mixes. Pictures show how to decorate with the different potpourris as well. If you've ever wanted to set aside some of your garden as a potpourri harvesting smörgåsbord, then this is the right book for getting started.
