A warm & summery welcome to the Garden Gadabout 2010. The Garden Gadabout has blossomed from a tiny seed sown over sixteen years ago into the wonderful annual community event we have today.

 

An extraordinary variety of enchanting gardens from across the region will be flinging open their garden gates to raise vital funds for The Sussex Beacon. New gardens join the best from last year, from suntraps, shady nooks and patios, to blossoming dustbins, and a shed roof sprouting vegetables! Visit overflowing allotments, a school’s edible garden and discover creative community spaces. Soak up the atmospheric beauty of Monks House, or take a tour of the iconic Royal Pavilion gardens.

 

Not just a pretty space!

As well as enjoying some gorgeous gardens, another popular Gadabout treat are the lunches, teas and cakes on sale. Who can resist the luxury of being able to enjoy a cuppa and indulge in a delicious array of home baked goodies in beautiful surroundings? For any Wimbledon fans out there, fear not! Many gardens will offer the chance to catch up on the score whilst enjoying a strawberry cream tea. Look out for sales of local art works, plants, jams & honey.

 

Visit us.

As usual The Sussex Beacon’s garden will be opening for The Gadabout, this year on Saturday 3rd July. Come and visit us and see the changes that have taken place. You’ll receive a warm welcome and have the opportunity to visit the gardens of this unique centre. There will be stalls, a tombola and of course cream teas to buy and enjoy whilst
relaxing in tranquil surroundings. All the funds raised from The Garden Gadabout come directly to The Sussex Beacon. Please note the article in City News incorrectly states the Sussex Beacon garden is open on Sunday, the garden is only open on Saturday. We apologise for any inconvenience.

 

A Big Thank you.

To all our fantastic garden owners for their hard work, enthusiasm and generosity. This event could not happen without you! Also to our wonderful sponsor Rushfields Plant Centre.
