Green Flag

Denton Gardens was awarded Green Flag status in July 2024.

This accolade recognises the tremendous work that the volunteer gardeners and the committee of Friends of Denton Gardens have put in over the last five years. This award means that Denton Gardens is healthy, safe and secure, well maintained and clean. It is also environmentally managed with a focus on biodiversity and heritage.

The Green Flag Award is an international accreditation given to publicly accessible parks and open spaces, managed under licence from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government – a UK Government department, by Keep Britain Tidy, who also administers the scheme in England.

The Friends of Denton Gardens Dream Team – Spot the celebration novelty green flag! We had cake too :-).

The Committee would like to thank:

• The Friends of Denton Gardens volunteers for their hard work and dedication
• Worthing Borough Council Parks team for their support and encouragement
• All our wonderful friends and followers on Facebook
• Coast Cafe for providing refreshments to the volunteers
• Splashpoint MiniGolf for their generous donations and support
• The Egremont public house for providing a meeting space for us
• The Worthing Society for their ongoing help in preserving the gardens for future generations
• Rampion Offshore Wind Community Benefit Fund
• Sussex Community Foundation
