Most of the planning that goes into landscaping and decorating a yard deals with how it looks, but if you have ever been in a yard and realized that it smells wonderful, you also understand how great it can be to landscape your yard with the smells of the plants in mind. The huge thing about making an effort to landscape your yard in such a way that it smells nice in addition to looking beautiful is that many of the plants that smell nice do, in fact, look beautiful, Furthermore, a number of these “smell good” plants are easy to take care of, and you will not need to worry about watering them any more often than you have to worry about watering everything else in your yard.
If you have a herb garden in your yard, one of the herbs you will want to make sure you add is spearmint; spearmint is also beneficial in that it gives you a delicious addition to many of your favorite dishes and even if you do not have an herb garden of your own, you can distribute spearmint among some of your other plants.
Daylilies are a beautiful flower that will be an excellent addition to any yard and when you spread some daylilies throughout your yard’s landscape, you will also be giving your yard a wonderful addition of pleasant scent.
Another flower that looks good and smells wonderful is marigolds; the best thing of all about marigolds is that while people enjoy the way they smell many insects and even a number of yard pests cannot stand the way marigolds smell, which means that you can plant marigolds around your garden or around your yard, and this will act as a natural insect and pest repellent.
When you design your yard with the smell of your yard in mind just as much as with the beauty of your yard in mind, people will find themselves leaving your yard and wishing theirs was just like yours!
