WELL, THAT WAS UNEXPECTED!
This morning we were unexpectedly met by The Management on the Gorringe Road allotment. Bracing ourselves for an eviction notice, we were met with something far more unexpected. Louise and Graham from Eastbourne Allotment Society had come to celebrate our recent RHS award with the most thoughtful gift.



They presented us with a beautifully crafted plaque, its wording a perfect reflection of the engraving on our glass RHS vase award. Their kindness and encouragement meant the world to us, a reminder of the incredible support that surrounds our community work.




Louise and Graham, the Eastbourne Allotment Society, thank you for your generosity and support. Your thoughtful gift is a meaningful acknowledgment of our work, and we truly appreciate it.
