Plant Your Sweet Peas

Sweet Pea seeds are available right now at the Aspen Times, BJ Adams's Aspen office and the Aspen Historical Society. The time-honored tradition of planting sweet pea seeds, dating back to Aspen's quieter years, is one of our cherished spring traditions. If you're in town, pick some up to take home and initiate the tradition in your own home!
