WEM SWEET PEA SHOW - History and Schedule - 20-21 July 2024
This is worth reading for the history of the modern sweet pea, but the text omits the detail that Henry Eckford had been a gardener for Rowland Hunt at Boreatton Park.
Henry Exford`s fellow gardener at Boreatton was Mr. Ballinger who went to Australia and was one of a group who formed SPC canned fruit - well remembered by those who are very old and delighted in the treat in the 1950s!
