April 2013 - We are delighted to announce that the Friends of Boscombe Chine Gardens has been successful with a bid to the National Lottery and has achieved funding for the Easter Family Fun Day and ten replacement Nature Trail Boards.

The Family Fun Day funded by the National Lottery through the Big Lottery Fund was a tremendous success and we are in the process of producing a video clip of the day's events, which will be published on the website in the near future.

The twelve Nature Trail Boards that are located around the gardens have served the local community very well during the past eight years and we have developed a more robust and easier to maintain mark 3 design. We hope to introduce the new design boards during the summer period and look forward to children and families using them for many years to come.

Many thanks to the National Lottery for their generous grant, which is a tremendous boost for the charity and will benefit both visitors and local residents who enjoy walking around the nature trail.

September 2012 - For the third year running, Boscombe Chine Gardens has been awarded Best Large Park in the South & South East in the England in Bloom competition.

In addition to this Boscombe Chine Gardens also won an individual gold for the third year running!

Well done to the Bournemouth Parks team and all the Friends of Boscombe Chine Gardens who volunteer and give their time to support the great work within the gardens.
