Gardeners were invited to create pollinator-rich growing schemes inspired by ideas of seaside retro, in keeping with our 2025 ShowGround themed Art Walk Porty festival. The project aimed to increase biodiversity and connect neighbours together whilst celebrating nature, wildlife and colour.
All those participating were included in the Art Walk Porty Festival Map and had a ‘Flowering Porty’ sign located in their growing space, with all spaces being visible from the street.
Three small prizes were awarded for the Best Seaside Retro Garden based on a public vote.
