In Jenny Joseph's new book about smell and the garden, there is the unconventional viewpoint, the sharp observation, the sensual awareness to be found in her poetry and fiction, together with the energy of her descriptive writing. With her special sense of humour she sends up those in our society who makes us anxious about failing to live as the trend-setters dictate.
This is not an ordinary 'how to garden' book. Jenny Joseph hopes to give cheer to the unsuccessful, and cheer and enjoyment successful and unsuccessful alike will get from this book. She interests us in the least discussed of our senses, smell, whose site is the oldest part of the human brain. Each month is evoked through the smell of its plants; and we learn what needs to be planted when, for our gardens to give us pleasure throughout the year.
This is a book full of diversions that will lead you off the strait and narrow garden path to smell the roses, and experience the cornucopia of olfactory pleasures the air is laden with.
