With all the talk of technologists and virtual and augmented reality, one sense is overlooked – that of smell. And there is no more stunning scent than that of Lady’s bedstraw (Galium Verum) drifting in a peaceful meadow at dusk.
So I defy the proponents of all those electronic realities to replicate the experience of that scent. Go to the orchard area of the park, find the area with these wonderful plants, and just absorb the experience.
