Brighton beach - someone's just started a boat bed - I'll have to go back in a few months to see how it's getting on!
Comments on this photo
I've seen pictures of boats in full bloom, and they look amazing, but this is the first "starting" one I've ever seen, so I had to take a pic.

I've also seen photos of fully grown boat beds but, like you. Fran, I've never seen one at so early a stage!

I wish there'd been someone around so that I could ask how long since it had been planted, but even if there had been, I doubt that I'd have thought of it in time
I just tried Goggling "Brighton Beach boat with flowers" on the wildest off-chance; it got me some more pictures of blooming boats, but not this one

I repeated your search & found 2 that look like your picture. This first one is the nearest:

This second one is possibly the same boat but with the flowers fully grown:

Looking at your picture again I think the first link above is the same boat you photographed as the background looks similar! Have a look at the links & see what you think!

just had a look.
The tags confirm that this is Brighton Beach - the winching gear in the backgound is the same, but the post just behind the bow in my pic isn't in the other one - either that's a very new addition or the boat's been moved
They both might be of a previous year's planting scheme, but I could'nt find any dates on either photo or tag to say when they were taken.
still, well done Brighton - or some Brightonese [?] - for keeping it up
