Friends of Boscombe Chine Gardens
Beachfront gardens with bright flower beds, paths, a playground, cafe & 18-hole mini golf course.
Friends of Boscombe Chine Gardens was inaugurated and constitutionalised on the 3rd July 2002. Our primary objective is to enhance & conserve Boscombe Chine Gardens for the enjoyment of the community & visitors.
Our intention is for Boscombe Chine Gardens to be a place where everyone from toddlers to grown-ups, can visit to enjoy the landscaped and natural gardens, associated wildlife and various amenities.
Located within Boscombe Chine are wonderful three dimensional bedding displays alongside traditional bedding and innovative herbaceous planting schemes.
A splendid 1890's lodge is situated at the northern end of the chine close to the terraced Clock Café and 18 hole Mini-golf course.
We also have a Multi Use Games Area where basketball and football are played.
Further down the gardens is an interpretation of the original circular spa shelter with a conical, oak shingled roof that acts as a stop off point for the Bournemouth land train.
There is also an enclosed children's play area with an innovative water play feature.
Boscombe Chine Gardens is proud to be Bournemouth's 10th Local Nature Reserve.
Holder of a prestigious green flag award since 2007.

The stain ingredient

It was round two tonight helping Friends Of Boscombe Chine Gardens. The runners Graeme, Mohammed, Janet, Daryl and Caprice ran to the session with Charlotte arriving by foot. Last time the team painted the front of the community cabin, tonight's task was to paint the sides. Firstly, the group got to work dusting away the cobwebs and prepping prior to staining the wood. Once prepped Daryl, Charlotte and Caprice got to work painting one side and Mohammed, Graeme and Janet got stuck in painting the other side. With six GoodGymers, Jane and Rosemary working hard, it didn't take long until both sides were finished. Just the back of the cabin to stain, we shall return on Tuesday 27th August to finish the job. We hope to see you there!
Wood it be magic!!

So the rain held off for tonight's session and what a fun session it was! Runners Graeme, Daryl and Caprice met at King's Park for the group run to the task. Eleanor made her own way their with a run along the seafront, literally on the sand! We love her determination. Tonight's session was to help The Friends of Boscombe Chine Garden clean and paint their wooden hut located in the community gardens. The runners were greeted by Jane and Rosemary who had already started clearing away the overgrown bamboo and shrubs. Graeme, Daryl and Caprice got to work clearing away the dust and cobwebs. Eleanor arrived ready to start the good bit.... painting!! Starting with the front of the hut, Daryl and Eleanor tackled one side, whilst Caprice and Graeme painted the other. It's amazing how much they achieved, the GoodGymers, Jane and Rosemary successfully finished the front part of the hut, it looked amazing and the gang will return Monday 5th August to attempt another side of the cabin.
