Presented by Brie Arthur at iLandscape 2026
Fragrance is one of the most memorable and client-pleasing elements a landscape can offer, and it’s far more achievable in colder climates than many realize. In this program, Brie Arthur guides landscape professionals through a rich photographic overview of hardy, high-performing fragrant plants suited for Zones 4–6—organized season by season to support intentional design.
Explore winter interest options like Chimonanthus praecox and fragrant witch hazels; spring standouts such as lilac, viburnum, and daphne; and summer stars including hardy magnolias, mock orange, and select gardenias that perform reliably in cooler regions. Brie also highlights late-season performers that extend sensory appeal well into fall.
Beyond plant lists, the session covers practical placement strategies, microclimate considerations, and ways to layer scent for continuous impact across residential, commercial, and public landscapes. Attendees will learn how to craft aromatic plantings that delight clients, support pollinators, and provide year-round sensory value even in colder climates.
