The Scented Garden

Remember the other week when the teddy bears were saying how lovely the roses smelled in their garden? (Click here to read it again). And the bluebells which they had smelled in the woodlands during the Spring? (Click here to read this one again). Well, they began to wonder if there were any other flowers that had pretty fragrances too.

So they decided to check out the other flowers in the garden.

Boo tested the sweet peas, which are lovely plants which clamber up canes and posts and reach high up into the sky. Their flowers are all sorts of colours - white, pink, violet, purple, etc - and they all smell gorgeous. They are so nice that the bears quite often pick bunches of them to put in vases indoors so that the scent spreads through the whole house. Every time you cut the flowers, even more grow to replace them, so you can have vases of flowers all through the summer.
