Creation of Diamond Jubilee Community Rose Garden

The construction of a community rose garden to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012 is now under way. The proposal to build a small public garden outside Hailsham Library in Western Road to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee came from the Committee last year, which has headed a small working party from within the local community to look at the design of the garden and sponsorship opportunities available.

The project focuses on creating raised rose beds, seating, arbours and rose walks for all members of the public to enjoy.

Sponsorship of the garden, which includes raised flower beds, arbours, seating and a rose walk, was provided by a number of local businesses including J. Martin Rustic Furniture, Littlewood Fencing, Wickes DIY, Sussex Stone Marble & Granite Ltd, Town & Country Tree Services, E&S Heating and Ventilation, Sussex Independent Financial Advisors, Haulaway, Chalvington Communications, and Hart Reade Solicitors. Generous personal donations were provided by Mr Lew Lovelady and Mrs Lilian Woodley, both long-term residents of Hailsham.
The Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex, Mr Peter Field, will cut the ribbon at the official opening of the Diamond Jubilee Rose Garden on Saturday 2nd June at 10am.
