So this is “work”. Preston Rockery on the A23 as you go into Brighton.
I’ve been head gardener here for nearly 25 years now and it’s the biggest municipal rockery in the UK.
Built between 1934 and 1936, 1,350 tons of limestone was brought in by train from Cheddar Gorge
I’m extremely lucky that I have total control over what’s planted although council funds are very limited. I have to therefore grow stuff myself in the building (the chalet) which has a propagation bench with artificial lights and under soil heating cables.
Absolutely love it. I’m the only full time member of staff and rely on a lovely team of volunteers plus people doing community service to help me.
