Title: Fragrant Garden Planning and Design

Objective:
To design and implement a garden layout that incorporates fragrant plants for a year-round pleasant scented experience, maximizing aromaticity while ensuring plant health and longevity.

Deliverables:

1. A comprehensive fragrant plant selection guide with information on species that thrive in your climate zone and provide consistent scents throughout the year.
2. A 12-month fragrance planning calendar, breaking down which plants to include during each season or month for optimal aroma retention.
3. A maintenance and care guide, including pruning techniques, soil preparation, and watering schedules tailored to fragrant plants.
4. A professional-grade garden design plan, showcasing a visually appealing layout incorporating fragrant plants, pathways, and other aesthetic features.
5. Training resources for garden enthusiasts, including troubleshooting common challenges related to fragrant plant growth and maintenance.

Industry Best Practices and Standards:

• Utilize plants known for their aromaticity, such as aromatic herbs, flowering plants, and shrubs.
• Ensure plants are selected based on hardiness ratings for your specific climate zone (e.g., USDA zones 1–10).
• Opt for plants with intermediate- to long-day cycles for consistent blooming and scented output.
• Consider plant propagation techniques, such as cuttings or播种, to enhance biodiversity and sustainability.
• Incorporate plants with low water needs, such as drought-tolerant varieties, for efficient maintenance.

Quality Expectations:

• S Washington plants should have a minimum of 60 hours of bloom time per growing season.
• Fragrance intensity should be measured using industry standards (e.g., SCENTTEST℠ or similar tests).
• Plants must be maintained in optimal growing conditions, including well-draining soil, proper sunlight exposure, and regular pruning to prevent overcrowding.
• Gardens should be free from pests and diseases, requiring minimal intervention while providing aromatic benefits.

Technical Considerations:

• **Plant Selection:**优先选择耐寒、抗病虫害的物种, such as Astrosage™ or White Begonia. For scentedutilas, consider plants like Calibrachoa 'Fangirling' or Geranium 'Deft andTrue.'
• **Soil Requirements:**Use well-draining, potting soil or compost with added perlite or vermiculite for optimal water retention and root penetration.
• **Watering:**Establish a consistent watering schedule based on plant type (e.g., weekly light watering for aromatic herbs).
• **Pruning:**Prune plants after flowering to encourage the formation of new flowers and scents, following industry guidelines for pruning tools and techniques.
• **Composting:**Incorporate plant debris into compost for nutrient cycling, ensuring proper reuse of garden waste.
