The extract elaborates on aroma, an often neglected aspect of gardens.

To begin with, the author

highlights the ostensible lack of attention paid to fragrance compared to other visual factors such
as color or composition. However, according to the author, scent, subjective yet emotionally
evocative, still unassailably proves to be a necessary component of gardens. In addition, although
most aromatic flowers are white or light-colored, some more colorful plants may hide their
enchanting smell in less perceptible places, namely in their roots, stems, and leaves.
