Summary

Pathe synopsis: We stay in Eastbourne, though you might imagine it to be some South Sea paradise. It’s the Wannock Tropical Gardens where exotic fruits and plants thrive in large glass houses. It’s the largest private plant collection in the country and expert attention is needed to defy the ravages of the north wind and that famous weather of ours.
