We wrote last autumn of the success of East Brighton organisations in the annual Brighton & Hove City in Bloom competition.

Barbara Aston of the Kemp Town Gardening Group sent us some pictures of their beautiful hanging baskets and wanted to let us know how the funding had been spent:

“Please find attached a couple of pictures of last year's hanging and polo baskets. We used the grant you so kindly gave us towards their overall cost. We had ten hanging baskets and six polo baskets altogether adorning our three streets - Bristol Street, Bennett Road and Princes Terrace. We had lots of very positive comments about them from residents and visitors alike as they really were stunning when in full bloom and cascaded down almost to the ground. They were a delightful addition to our neighbourhood and helped us to achieve yet again third prize in the Best Street category of Brighton & Hove City in Bloom.”
