Fragrant Pathway

Fragrant Nicotiana and Trochodendron make the Fragrant Pathway a treat for the nostrils.

Gardens make us think of carpets of showy, colorful flowers, but the Fragrant Pathway is designed to delight your nose first! This 450-foot pathway is fringed with shrubs and plants that are characterized by fragrant flowers or aromatic leaves, delighting your sense of smell throughout all the seasons of the year.

Stop by and take a whiff of the Fragrant Pathway’s Lilacs and Hardy Jasmine in the spring, along with the clove-scented blooms of the Vibernum shrubs. Throughout the summer, enjoy the Lilies, the unique musty perfume emanating from the leaves and flowers of the Trochodendron, and sweet smell of the Nicotiana. In October, taste the scent of the Autumn Olive shrub.
