I thought i was shortlisted for the south east section but it appears it's for the national one....only 4 parks in the country and the rockery is one

Congratulations. I often walk through it on my way to the Deli plus remember it well from my childhood. Top work.

Brilliant !!!!!

 

[Mackenzie]

Well deserved, it's a lovely place.

 

[Dick Head]

Great news, well deserved. Must be worth you getting some publicity for this, might attract some sponsorship ? Anyone know any decent journalists with connections to quality local papers ?

Just looking at the Fields In Trust web page, and the nearest place to me they protect is the village of Harefield.
Really amazing things they do, well impressed.

that's amazing!

Open spaces are very important to flat dwellers (like me) so many thanks for all the hard work

 

[Chicken Run]

Jevs mate that is quite superb, your commitment to that space go's way beyond most people's expectations, well done!

Well deserved

The Rockery has gone right up hill since I left! Well played Jevs. "If you don't make it happen, it wooooon't happen!!"

 

[tinycowboy]

Well done Jevs - best of luck on the night. That park is a Brighton institution; hope it stays forever and becomes a landmark for all future Brightonians.

Well as you may know, i've entered Preston Rock Garden into a "Fields in trust" award and i've asked you to vote on it. Well voting has just closed and i received this email


Hi Andy,

Voting has just closed in the UK’s Best Park Award with over 10,000 votes having been cast and I’m thrilled to be getting touch to let you know that your nominated park, Preston Park Rockery, is one of the four local green spaces from across the UK to be shortlisted.

The overall winner will be announced at the Fields in Trust Awards at Lords Cricket Ground on 30th November, and as Preston Park Rockery’s nominator we’d love for you to be there to represent it! I shall be in touch very soon with a formal invite and more details, but I wanted you to be the first to know of the park’s shortlisting.

Please allow me to pass on my congratulations on making the shortlist and I will be in touch again very soon!

Kind regards,
Jamie

Thank you so much to everyone who voted, i'm chuffed to bits
