Medicinal plants are usually considered to be relatively colorless. But the herbs in the Scented Herb Park are completely different. Here lavender, geraniums, roses, sage, thyme and the like offer almost the entire color spectrum. The scent comes more from the leaves than from the flowers. Many fresh herbs only have a scent when you touch and rub them, others have a stronger scent when dried.
