The Europe Garden at Seven Sisters Country Park
This rather sad looking plaque sits alongside an equally sad looking garden built to celebrate Great Britain's involvement in the European Commnunity. Coincidentally, I discovered the plaque and the garden just days after the UK referendum on leaving the EU. The garden is tucked away behind the restaurant and becoming overgrown and untended after years of neglect.
The plaque states that:
The Europe Garden has been
created by East Sussex County
Council as a perminent feature
to celebrate the close links between
the European Community
countries.
It then goes on the state that the garden was completed in Autumn 1993 and lists all the plants and flowers that were donated and by whom they were donated.
Set into the central area are 12
'special' brick stars as the
European symbol representing
the member states of the European Community
