Hi guys,

I'm looking for some advice on a major garden redesign. I'm trying to
create a sensory garden for my toddler and want to have lots I scented
plants. As I love lemon I'd like to incorporate a range of lemon
plants/herbs but I've never planted these before and wondered if anyone
had any advice or experience. I would love a mix of larger bushy and
smaller border type plants but I'm after the scent most importantly.

I live in Devon - I'm not sure if this has an impact climate wise.

Any comments gratefully received!

Thanks,

Gary

There are a number of lemon-scented herbs, including mints, grasses, and
geraniums. (Be careful about mints; they can be agressively invasive.)
If you do not get snow in the winter, you might even try a dwarf lemon
tree; lemons are among the hardiest of citrus. (Limes are the least
hardy citrus.)

However, I am not familiar with your climate and cannot make any serious
recommendations.
