Michael Pilarski will have a Friends of the Trees/permaculture booth at the Spokane Garden Expo on May 13 and will be giving a talk on:

Fragrant gardening, Fragrancescaping. Scratch & Sniff Plants.

How to work fragrant plants into your landscape, with a special focus on using permaculture methods. . We should include fragrant plants in all our landscaping. Good for the health of humans to have fragrant plants to sniff and fragrance wafting through the air. And good for pollinators and the ecosystems. We will cover dozens of plants with fragrant flowers, foliage and bark. Fragrance throughout the year. Day and Night. Take time to smell the flowers.

Stop by and see us at the Expo if you are in the area.
