Mike, Vicky and I have now bedded the boat in properly which was very difficult as the hoylake baths are buried under there!We are planning to plant seaside ornamental grasses,valerian, fleabane and lots of thrift for colour then hope for the best. For now we have started with a few grasses that I overwintered, valerian from Vickie's garden and primulas for early colour. We would rather wait a few weeks before we spend any money on planting.we agree it would be lovely to have native seaside flowers in the grass again we welcome any ideas and helpers Yes the boat does look a muddy mess in the photo fortunatly no one took our photo as we were a muddy mess too!we do have some photos we may share with you later.

It looks a muddy mess in the picture. I suggest the area be named 'Hoylake Green' and landscaping using beach sand and sand-dune flora. Good luck for the planting but not an easy place to grow anything but the hardiest seaside plants! Yes, there is a great opportunity to create a better public space.
