Welcome

Floral and herbal scents have long been recognised for their health and wellbeing benefits, such as memory boosters, stress relievers and stimulants. So popular are these scents that almost two thirds (63%) of people in the UK purchase floral and herbal scented products on a monthly basis.

Despite this obvious belief in the benefits of scented products, research shows just 12% of people actually plant these scents in their gardens, with a quarter (25%) admitting they wouldn’t know how to use them to benefit their health, if they did grow them.

To help people unlock the scentsational benefits their garden can offer, PlantforLife has teamed up with aromacologist, Danièle Ryman and celebrity plantsman, Chris Collins, to offer advice and guidance on the benefits garden plants can bring. Each swatch includes tips on scented plants which you can grow in your garden and how best to use them to benefit your health.
