It was the perfume of hyacinths you could smell clear across the oval on Sunday, as though someone had dropped a few gallons of high-end laundry softener on the asphalt.

Garden enthusiast and Baltimore Sun columnist Susan Reimer will be talking about what it takes to start, restore or improve a garden. You can call in to ask her about hyacinths.
