I hope this blog post finds you well :) This week's nugget of nature are the sweet peas that are climbing up the fence and blooming in the kitchen garden at Backus-Page House Museum.
Fun facts about sweet peas:
- Sweet peas are native to Sicily.
- They have a scent that is a mixture of orange, jasmine and honey.
- The sweet pea was a staple in Victorian gardens, loved for their different colours and fragrance.
- Their scent is sweetest in the morning with the dew still on them.
- They can grow to a height of 1-2 metres!
Have a great week everyone! Stay safe and take care!
