Sandown Garden
There has been an extraordinary increase lately in the amount of dog litter being left on our streets by negligent dog owners. Have your say by competing Dover’s Dog Patrol order survey. And special mention to Ralph Cade who picked up 150 bags worth in a single day.
This beautiful garden has been planted amongst what remains of one of the three Tudor castles in Deal built by Henry VIII. An enthusiastic team of volunteers have created a haven of biodiversity for all to enjoy.
Deal has won silver gilt in the Britain in Bloom finals anounced on 14th October in the coastal town over 12k population.
To get to the final, Deal was the winner of the ‘coastal town between 12,001 – 25,000’ category. The local business community won the Judges Award! Well done us!!
High Street Deal had the pleasure of showing The Eden Project’s Creative Catalyst Richard Good around our little town yesterday. And very lovely it looked too!
The Sandown Castle Community Garden Group have been busy clearing the patch of ground by Sandown Castle and planting hundreds of bulbs and cyclamen. English Heritage who own the land, gave permission for the group to tend the area and the Council cleared it in early January.
