Work has begun on Morecambe’s Eden Project Bring Me Sunshine Garden, with hoardings going up today (Tuesday 25th August) around the seafront site, marking a new phase of progress on this landmark project.
The garden was first exhibited at the 2026 RHS Chelsea Flower Show, where it won the RHS Environmental Innovation Award and a Silver-Gilt medal. Now massively upscaled to 1.5 acres, it is being permanently relocated to Morecambe’s seafront as a free-to-enter community garden, creating a welcoming gateway to the main Eden Project Morecambe site. Expect community planting beds alongside resilient coastal pink, yellow and blue planting, connecting sea to land. It opens spring 2027, giving people an early taste ahead of the main site opening in late 2028.
This follows the opening of the Eden Project Morecambe Hub at the Winter Gardens, welcomed by hundreds of residents since 15th August. The Hub is now open every Friday, 10am to 2pm, with the team on hand to answer questions and share project news, alongside a photographic exhibition by local collective Assembly Arts capturing the site before its transformation.
Stacey Fox, Project Engagement and Communications Manager for Eden Project Morecambe, said: “Site hoardings going up and preparation work getting underway signal a step change in activity as the first phase of work on the Bring Me Sunshine Garden gets underway. It’s an exciting period, coinciding with the opening of our Hub, our photographic exhibition and the launch of our dedicated social channels.”
Eden Project Morecambe is delivered in partnership with Lancaster City Council, Lancashire County Council and Lancaster University, and supported by UK Government investment, on track to fully open in 2028.
