Once upon a time there lived a rich man who had a beautiful garden. It was admired for its loveliness. There were different kinds of sweet smell plants and trees laden with fruit.

Excellent work!

There is one error. It would be sweet smelling plants. However sweet means how it tastes so it is better to say nice smelling plants. - J_D_W, Jan 12, 2012

Thanx for taking the time to comment, I'm afraid I have to disagree however, 'sweet smelling' is commonly applied to plants or fllowers ;) http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sweet-smelling - Kiwi-Girl, Jan 12, 2012

I am however second guessing my 'well' admired, I think I'd get away with it poetically but might remove it because it isn't exactly how one would normally say things lol :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jan 12, 2012

You are correct. Where I live, one would not say "sweet smelling plants" in conversation, but I agree that one could say this according to the dictionary. It may be common to say this in some places. - J_D_W, Jan 13, 2012

I would say sweet smelling plants. Think of honeysuckle. Very sweet smelling. - gringojrf, Jan 13, 2012
