There’s an endearingly nostalgic aspect of growing Sweet Peas that makes them a lovely addition to a garden, and rarely are they found to be so intoxicating as they are at Easton Walled Garden in Sweet Pea Season.

The myriad of varieties are among the many lovely aspects of the staggering garden, which has been developed over many years through the hard work of Garden Director Ursula Cholmley.

We hear from Ursula how they’ve made their mark without enforcing a narrative on the garden, created beds full of showstopping Sweet Peas, and brought towering varieties of Roses to their meadows.

In this episode, discover:

  • The story behind Easton Walled Gardens’ lengthy heritage, and the work that it took to create the spectacle that it’s become
  • Which Sweet Pea varieties stand out in their spectacular garden, from the likes of Toffee Apple to Winston Churchill
  • How to tell the perfect time to harvest your own Sweet Peas
  • The marvellous Rose Meadows that come alive in summer
