About Southsea Gardens
Three town gardens in adjacent roads within easy walking distance, off St Ronan's Road. Victorian houses (not open) where the owners have created peaceful green spaces about 700 metres from Southsea promenade. 35 and 67 Gains Road are small gardens designed and planted with artistic flair by the owners, inc ferns, bamboo and sculpture. The creative gardeners are keen plantspeople and have made the very most of the limited space in both front and rear gardens with planting of an exceptional standard. 28 St Ronan’s Avenue (145ft by 25ft) is divided into different areas inc a wildflower meadow and pond. Agaves and echeverias grow in drier sandy parts. Planting is a mixture of traditional and tender plants inc puya, echiums, and tree ferns. Tulips feature in April and alliums in May and June. Recycled items are used to create sculptures.
