My wife is blind and I want to create a garden using fragrant plants. We
have a gardenia and a couple of roses. Oleander are also good although the
sap is poisonous. Daphne is another goody. The other requirement is the
plants must be water frugal. Any other suggestions? Maybe some web pages we
could look at?

Also don't forget the herbs, they're mostly water frugal. Lavender and
rosemary, and the scented pelargoniums. I have a lemon geranium and a
rose geranium by my front door, and they make my house wonderfully
fragrant when the sun hits them. Lemon grass will add structural
interest in the summer and also give off a nice scent when brushed.
