"I have seen so many bizarre, unexpected, wacky and off the wall sights in the gardens over the years.
As Brighton and Hove is such an open-minded place, it attracts such wonderful characters and I have seen many walking through the Pavilion Gardens."

Robert is the proud manager and director of the gardens, but much of the weeding, pruning, dead heading and on-going maintenance of the beds is carried out by a dedicated team of volunteers. On a Friday morning these individuals can be found deeply submerged in the undergrowth almost camouflaged in their dark green overalls. They are a willing, hard working and devoted bunch, many of whom have been helping to tend the Pavilion Gardens for many years.
