The sweet scents of summer - 87 aromatic plants

Story by Dorothy Dobbie
Brilliant colour, florid bloom, exotic foliage: all of these are important to the garden, but
scent can stimulate an explosion of the senses, creating haunting flashbacks or setting the stage for
future memories.
Today, sadly, many hybrid plants have lost much of their original fragrance, although lately
breeders are working to create plants that once again spark olfactory pleasure. Still, some plants
continue to have a powerful impact. Take stargazer lilies as an example. Their fragrance can be so
heady as to create an instant headache in scent-sensitive people. Beware using these as cut flowers
in an enclosed space unless you know your friends are immune. Freesia, hyacinths and daffodils
(especially paperwhites) can be just as cloying.
Outdoors, where the air dilutes the stronger perfume, the scented garden is a joy. Dusk
ushers in the romantic scent of some petunias (Petunia hybrida, Mitchell), which seem tobe time
sensitive, pulsing out perfume until dawn and staying virtually scent free during the day.
Chemically, scent in flowers is derived from a combination of an acid and alcohol, which
produces essential oils, often manufactured at the base of the hairs, called trichomes, that occur on
all parts of a plant. The scent is transmitted though the alcohol component.
It is hard to describe fragrance. We often rely on items that seem to embody it such as
lemon, rose, violet, vanilla, jasmine, pine, or eucalyptus, but scents are elusive and are received
differently by each person.
Many scented plants bloom at night and are in the night hours pollinated by moths. These
night blooming flowers are often white so that in addition to perfuming the air, they lend a ghostly
brilliance to the moonlit garden. And remember, many flowering shrubs are very fragrant just
think about mock orange (Philadelphus) or lilac (Syringa).
Plant scented flowers in a place where the prevailing breezes will waft their perfume toward
your favourite seating place or where you will brush them as you walk by, releasing their delicious
odours.

The Origin of the Hydrosol Name
In 1990 while Jeanne Rose was on a driving trip through the wine country of Northern
California, Jeanne looked at the fields of grapes, at the various vineyards, at the rows of
vines and thought that it would be a lovely idea to grow Lavender interspersed in or on the
edges of all the vineyards. The Lavender water of distillation which she called the
hydrosol could be used in skin care as well as all sorts of other possibilities. After
beginning a newsletter called the Lavender Plant Project, her interest grew to all
aromatic plants and the possibility of locally produced essential oils and hydrosols. She
renamed the organization in 1993, the Aromatic Plant Project and spent the next two
years getting the organization recognized and obtaining non-profit status.
By 1990 she had already distilled Lemon Balm and Lemon Verbena on a small copper
still and named the watery non-alcoholic distillate, the hydrosol, the first part of the
distillate. Jeanne invented the word hydrosol as it was easy to say and easy to
remember. She says, "'Hydro' means water and 'sol' means solution. Thus the word
hydrosol means the watery solution of the distillation that contains both the water-soluble
plant components and micro-drops of essential oil -- the hydrosol."
California Lavender (Lavandula x intermedia var.
Grosso CT linalol/borneol ) hydrosol
This hydrosol from select fields in California can be
used by external application for all your skin care
needs, especially if there is some sort of problem such
as oily skin, acne or irritation. Because of the borneol
content it is considered immune stimulating and
revitalizing by inhalation or ingestion other Lavender
hydrosols are soothing and relaxing, except when the
essential oil contains camphor or cineol and then it is
best used by inhalation for the respiratory system.

History
Ancient Egyptians used thyme for embalming. The ancient Greeks used it in their baths and burnt it as
incense in their temples, believing it was a source of courage. The spread of thyme throughout Europe was
thought to be due to the Romans, as they used it to purify their rooms and to "give an aromatic flavour to
cheese and liqueurs". In the European Middle Ages, the herb was placed beneath pillows to aid sleep and
ward off nightmares. In this period, women would also often give knights and warriors gifts that included
thyme leaves, as it was believed to bring courage to the bearer. Thyme was also used as incense and placed
on coffins during funerals, as it was supposed to assure passage into the next life.
The name of the genus Thymallus first given to grayling (T. thymallus) described in the 1758 edition of
Systema Naturae by Swedish zoologist Carl Linnaeus originates from the faint smell of the herb thyme,
which emanates from the flesh.
Cultivation
Thyme is best cultivated in a hot, sunny location with well-drained soil. It is generally planted in the spring,
and thereafter grows as a perennial. It can be propagated by seed, cuttings, or by dividing rooted sections of
the plant. It tolerates drought well. The plants can take deep freezes and are found growing wild on mountain
highlands. Along the Riviera, it is found from sea level and up to 800m.
Medicinal use
Oil of thyme, the essential oil of common thyme (Thymus vulgaris), contains 2054% thymol. Thyme
essential oil also contains a range of additional compounds, such as p-Cymene, myrcene, borneol and
linalool. Thymol, an antiseptic, is the main active ingredient in various commercially produced mouthwashes
such as Listerine. Before the advent of modern antibiotics, oil of thyme was used to medicate bandages.
Thymol has also been shown to be effective against various fungi that commonly infect toenails. Thymol can
also be found as the active ingredient in some all-natural, alcohol-free hand sanitizers.
A tea made by infusing the herb in water can be used for coughs and bronchitis.
One study by Leeds Metropolitan University found that thyme may be beneficial in treating acne.

Oregano
Oregano has been used for centuries,
originally by the Greeks, for curing a
variety of ailments. The ailments that
oregano was used to treat in ancient times
include a vast range of conditions from
convulsions to heart failure. In the 19th
century, herbal doctors proscribed oregano
as a general well being tonic as well as to
promote menstruation. The name oregano
originates from the two Greek words oros and ganos. Oregano is also known by its other
common names, wild marjoram and marjoram. The scientific name for oregano
is Origanum vulgare.
Medical Uses for Oregano in Present Times
Today, studies have demonstrated the oregano does possess many beneficial properties.
Oregano has been used for the treatment of chronic candidiasis through its antifungal
properties. Ideally for this particular ailment, enteric coated capsules are recommended to
ensure that the tablets pass through the stomach and disintegrate in the intestine.
Oregano supplements can also be used to treat indigestion, heartburn, and low stomach
acidity. Oregano aids by reducing gas in the stomach as well as soothing a churning
stomach.
Supplemental oregano has also shown to be a beneficial treatment for infections,
including yeast infections. Research has shown that oregano directly attacks microbes as
well as inhibits the growth of Candida albicans.
What Provides Oregano with its Healing Properties?
This perennial herb grows approximately 2 feet in height. It is able to be cultivated
worldwide, but originated in the Mediterranean. For herbal treatments, the leaves of
the oregano plants as well as the volatile oil are used for medical purposes. Dried oregano
contains a multitude of constituents, including approximately 3% volatile essential oil. In
addition to the volatile oil, the other constituents include: -carvacrol -thymol -borneol
-rosmarinic acid -triterpenoids, which are ursolic and oleanolic acid - sterols -vitamin A
-vitamin C
The antimicrobial and antifungal properties of oregano are attributed to thymol and
carvacol. Clinical studies have shown oregano to be extremely effective in inhibiting the
growth of Candida albicans. Additional clinical studies demonstrate that oregano oil has
anti-microbial properties against a large array of bacteria including Escherichia coli,
Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella enterica and Staphylococcus aureus.

Down to Earth: Herbs are excellent plants

for a childs garden
Posted by Karen Hager: Saturday, May 17, 2014 12:10 am

Regular readers of this column

know that I am a big proponent of
getting kids in the garden. My own
son has been gardening with me
since he was a toddler, and
although his interest today leans
more heavily toward soccer,
gardening has provided him with a thorough knowledge of where
food comes from and a high respect for nature.
Grow a potpourri-themed garden
full of herbs like lavender and
harvest them to make potpourri
as holiday gifts.

Kids can grow their own vegetables or flowers, but if youre

looking for another idea for a childrens garden, consider herbs.
Easy-to-grow herbs will provide your child with a strong sense of
accomplishment, and may give rise to a lifelong interest in one of
your favorite hobbies.

Why herbs?
Herbs are often recommended to beginning gardeners because most are easy to grow and require
little care. The same reasons make herbs ideal for children.
Beyond their growing ease, herbs are also highly interesting plants. They come in a huge selection
of colors and scents, and can be used for many different purposes. While some children will enjoy
learning what herbs are used in cooking, others will enjoy the aromas or will want to use what they
grow for craft.
Special considerations for kids
When gardening with kids, be sure to explain that not all herbs are for eating. Some herbs are for
smelling and some are just ornamental. A good rule of thumb is that a child should never put
anything in his mouth without first asking an adult for permission.
Gardening with kids should also be done organically. Dont use chemical fertilizers, pesticides or
herbicides anywhere in their gardening area.
