Blog Fragrant Landscapes: Designing Scent-Infused Gardens with Wallack And Sons Sep 11, 2025

Creating a fragrant garden is an exquisite way to enhance the sensory appeal of your outdoor space. At Wallack And Sons Landscape Design And Management, we believe that the perfect garden is as much about aroma as it is about aesthetics. This is why designing scent-infused gardens is one of our most sought-after services in landscaping and hardscaping. By strategically selecting fragrant plants and arranging them to maximize their aromatic release, you can transform your garden into a peaceful and inviting retreat.

Fragrant landscapes can not only be pleasing to the senses but also serve various functional purposes. Aromatic plants can attract beneficial pollinators, improve air quality, and even have therapeutic properties that enhance mental well-being. When planning a scent-infused garden, it's important to consider the seasonal shifts in fragrance to enjoy a year-round aromatic experience.

The first step in creating your fragrant garden is plant selection. Consider including classic aromatic plants such as lavender, roses, and jasmine. These plants are not just popular for their delightful fragrances but also for their hardiness and ease of care. If you're interested in native seasonal blooms, plants like honeysuckle and lilac can be perfect additions to create a delightful spring and summer symphony of scents.

Incorporating fragrant herbs like mint, rosemary, and thyme can also be a great way to add diversity to your garden. Herbs are versatile plants that provide both aromatic foliage and culinary uses, making them ideal for gardens that aim for both beauty and utility. Plant these herbs near pathways or seating areas so that their scent can be fully appreciated when brushed against or touched.

Designing your landscape layout is another crucial aspect of cultivating a fragrant garden. At Wallack And Sons, we emphasize the importance of strategic plant placement to optimize scent distribution. Consider placing more fragrant plants near entryways and windows. This positioning allows their aroma to drift into your home whenever a breeze blows or windows are opened, creating a natural scent diffuser.

Aromatic shrubs and vines can be used as natural fences that define borders while providing a sensory feast. For instance, climbing vines like clematis and passionflowers are excellent choices for creating fragrant privacy screens. When combined with our expert hardscaping services, these elements can be skillfully integrated into pathways, patios, and pergolas, enriching the atmosphere and function of your garden space.

Finally, fragrance gardens are not just about the scent. Integrating water elements such as fountains can complement the sensory experience by adding the soothing sound of water to your garden. Simultaneously, selecting colors that complement the scents of your plants can provide a stunning visual feast.
