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!

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.
