This will be an in person program in our Keys Community Room with Photographer and Gardener Joanne Pearson.

Perhaps you have smelled the lovely fragrance of a peony and were immediately transported back to a time long ago in your grandmother's garden.  Have you ever wondered why that is?  Ms. Pearson will explain why in this presentation and much more. 

Accompanied by a vibrant slideshow of Joanne's photography, in this lecture we'll look at the amazing things that scent does for a plant (botanically, it is not there for our pleasure!).  We will discuss specific plants, shrubs and trees with fragrant flowers and foliage that can be grown in New England, and where to place them in the landscape to maximize our enjoyment of their fragrance throughout the garden.

A handout with a list of the specific plants we discuss will be provided.  Please join us for this fun and educational talk!

Please register here to attend, although walk-ins are also welcome.  Questions?  Email jhlady@milton.ocln.org or call the Reference Dept. at (617) 898-4964.
