Preston Rock Garden. Favour needed

jevs · Oct 20, 2016

As some of you know, i look after the Rockery opposite Preston Park in Brighton. We have spent 6 years dragging the garden into the beautiful place it is now. Despite constant vandalism and criminal damage, my team of volunteers, community payback and community groups have made the place look stunning.

So the garden has been entered into a national competition to find the best regional, and then national park/green space in the UK, and i'd like you lovely people from NSC to vote for the largest municiple Rock Garden in the UK.

Follow the link, find the Rockery and then vote.....it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Was going to vote, but then saw Stoneham Park is an option. I'm conflicted!

(I have of course voted for the Rockery)

Done , a lovely place. My Dad's father and both Grandmothers are buried in St Peter's Church graveyard and I used to sing in the choir there as a wee lad, so it holds very fond memories. Best of luck.

In case anybody's wondering when the voting runs til (as I was, it's not mentioned on the voting page so far as I can see) the answer is in the confirmatory email that you have to click on for your vote to count:

'Voting runs until 5pm on Wednesday 9th November with the winning park announced at the Fields in Trust Awards Ceremony on Wednesday 30th November.'

Stoneham park - the best

I do like it in there, but the best anything is pushing it
