Eastbourne’s seafront gardeners are doing a grand job
Whenever I walk the seafront and whatever time of year it is, I’m always taken by the flowerbeds that line the promenade, from west of the pier to the end of Western Lawns.
Especially so those plants that grow between the upper and lower paths adjacent Western Lawns; when the sun shines it is a real treat! At the joining of the upper with the lower promenades adjacent the RNLI shop there are roses growing, the fragrance of which can be overwhelming.

Back from the seafront there are more flowerbeds stretching from Helen Gardens to Princes Park, some best viewed from the top deck of a bus.
Those who manage and tend our flowerbeds (and shrubberies) are doing a grand job.
