A World of Sweet Peas
Cecilia Wingård & Phil Johnson
Colourful, joyful, and brimming with deep horticultural knowledge, A World of Sweet Peas is a modern classic for anyone who loves sweet peas as much as us! First published last year, it’s a book Paris and I have already returned to again and again. And it’s so beautiful that it’s equally at home on the coffee table as it is beside the seed tray.
It is packed with hundreds of stunning images and years of expertise from both Phil and Cecelia. Within its pages, Cecilia Wingård and Phil Johnson explore the rich history of sweet peas, their extraordinary range of varieties, and how they’ve been bred, grown, and cherished across the world. There’s also a fascinating and groundbreaking exploration of fragrance, what makes sweet peas smell the way they do, and why that scent has captivated gardeners for generations. We particularly loved the different methods of cultivation that Phil and Cecilia use to germinate their plants.
Designed to be informative yet a pleasure to dip into, this is a book for slow browsing, inspiration, and learning. A true celebration of sweet peas in all their colour, scent, and beauty, and a total joy to own or give as a gift.
