On Monday 24 July 2023, North Somerset Council officially opened a new public garden and area for playing pétanque, also known as boules, at the Beach Lawns in Weston-super-Mare.

The SEE MONSTER garden and pétanque court is at the most southern end of the Beach Lawns, next to Royal Sands. The space was once used as a miniature railway and putting green.

This site was selected to accommodate many of the plants from the SEE MONSTER installation held in the Tropicana last year.

This has created the first entirely new public garden in Weston-super-Mare since the creation of Jill’s Garden in Grove Park 22 years ago. The garden, which contains a selection of different plants suited to the exposed coastal location, also represents a lasting legacy for SEE MONSTER.

Although we understand it's of great benefit to those in need. We don't advertise ourselves for this purpose as we can't be depended upon in the same way as a food bank.

Projects — Grow Feral In the winter of 22/23, Grow Feral embarked upon a new project with the vision of turning a scrap of neglected land on platform two of Weston super Mare train station into a community garden and growing space for staff and passengers to enjoy. For this initial period, they worked with women from the South West community payback scheme to clear the site and begin the journey.

The area has a number of mature trees and shrubs already in place which we will design and develop the garden around. They will incorporate a combination of native wild flowers, and perennial plants, alongside growing edible plants, vegetables and herbs for people to pick and take away with them.

As we enter the summer of 2026, the garden is really beginning to take shape. We have installed a number of planters, a bespoke potting shed, and established wildflower areas for pollinators. We continue to run weekly sessions, and are keen to engage new people in helping maintain the garden so it can reach its full potential. If you are interested, please get in touch!

Location, Area, Boundaries, Landform and Setting

Prince Consort Gardens consists of a roughly triangular garden on the sea front overlooking Birnbeck Island and pier. The Garden divides into two areas, one being the upper level plateau abutting Upper Kewstoke Road and on the western side is the cliff face, which abuts Birkett Road. The garden is laid to lawn with tarmac paths.

A flower bed surrounds it and in the centre is a circular pond with a fountain. To the south of this area is a rockery and hedge behind which is a larger pond. In 2018 the Friends of Prince Consort Gardens raised over £12,000 to convert the underused boating pond to a wildlife pond. The design took reference from the original Victorian pond (before it received its concrete make-over after the 1960s), and features Mendip stone edging; an island; marginal beds with native plants, and a fountain. A series of small sculpted heads, created by artist Lynda Hayles, are hidden within the rocks around the benches for children to find.

Prince Consort Gardens are well-maintained by the volunteer Friends of Prince Consort Gardens group.

Grow Feral ornamental and edible planter - Projects — Grow Feral

A horticultural artwork and community micro garden constructed from mostly recycled timber and repurposed materials, designed by artist Jo Lathwood.

Three corrugated roofs provide shelter and act as rain catchers to funnel water into a freestanding water tower which can hold 350 liters. The hexagonal planters are drip fed the rain water through a solar powered irrigation system which is 90% more efficient than watering the plants with a watering can or hose.

The community garden is open to all to learn more about plants all year around, with a changing array of plants throughout the different seasons. The plants are a mixture of ornamental and edible species for everyone to enjoy.

This installation looks into how we can be more sustainable and use technology in a positive way to be more resourceful and sensitive to the environment. We hope it provides a place for relaxation, contemplation whilst sending a positive environmental message.

This is a collaborative project between Grow Feral and Jo Lathwood and is the second phase of the Grow Feral micro garden - the first iteration of half the size, was created in 2021 as part of an Arts Council England funded project commissioned by Culture Weston. This new expanded version was part of a series of sessions part funded by a Green Social Prescribing grant from North Somerset Council.
