Success with Sweet Peas (Online Class)
We love sweet peas; those beautiful and heart-stealing flowers that grace our gardens and vases with enchanting color and sweet scent!
I grew up watching my grandmother grow sweet peas in her gardens and am delighted to see the steady and growing renewed interest in these little gems.
Join Georgina (founder of Sweet Pea Gardens) on Zoom for a beginners class on growing these wonderful flowers.
Anyone who has tried and failed to grow these flowers should start afresh with this class. Any challenges to successfully cultivating these little beauties can usually be overcome by giving them optimal growing conditions.
The class will consist of a talk by Georgina followed by a 'Questions and Answers' segment. Topics addressed will include:
--how to discover the best time to start sweet pea seeds for your area
--how to prepare a bed for planting
--choosing the most optimal location in your garden
--sweet pea seed starting methods
--different supports for sweet peas to grow on
--maintenance of your plants
--harvesting the flowers for optimal vase life
