The Growing Season, July 18, 2026 - Designing With Fragrance

“Questions, concerns, queries?” Lets chat!Something smells....GOOD!That's right - the focus of this week's episode of The Growing Season is designing a garden with fragrance in mind. Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland dive into all things smelly and they're not talking about Matt!Matt has a new member of the family and he explains the addition of the new addition. Bill Reid roses kick the show off in style.  If you've never heard of these roses Google them immediately. The difference in temperature between Algonquin Park and Bolton, Ontario is discussed.  Do women have a better sense of smell than men? Fragrance and pollinators are linked.  How?   You'll be surprised to find out. The trio's favourite smells are discussed.  HINT: look up Pinus mugo pumilo. Roses, hydrangea, lilac, lavender, lemon grass, citronella and more are just some of the plants that get some air time on the show. Moon gardens.  How would one go about creating one of these horticultural wonders. Sweet William!   THEY SMELL GREAT! Roses do not effectively repel mosquitos.  We did not know that. Climbing hydrangea take a LONG TIME to get established.  LIKE, A LONG TIME! Sam Neill is honoured. Tune in. Looking to book a consult for your property?  We'd love to help.  CLICK HERE.
