Splash of colour for Old Town

The company provided wallflowers to make the space beautiful and also tidied it ready for winter.

John O’Conner regional manager Sean Towey said: “We are only too happy to support the horticultural societies and community gardens of Bexhill where possible.

“This little gem in the Old Town mirrors the horticultural and aesthetic variety contained in the Manor Gardens across the road, which our dedicated site gardener, John Pitman, maintains to the highest standards of quality and horticulture.

“Hence it has been our privilege to be able to make, albeit a small, contribution of our time and some winter plants to add to the seasonal variety of this quiet yet thought-provoking space.”

The team was thanked by Pauline Bullock of Bexhill Old Town Preservation Society which she said was “very grateful”.

The garden has been developed in front of the former washhouse in the original Bexhill village, as a place where people can rest and enjoy flowers as the garden matures.

It is hoped that a community notice board will be placed in the garden for the benefit of residents, depending on planning permission..
