- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: You have a garden with so much sand in it that you cannot grow flowers; salt-water spray kills even the hardiest plant - what is a gardener to do? The answer is supplied by Mr Edwin Sutton, an ex-landscape gardener turned beach warden. He collects hundreds of various sea shells, prepares a slab of rock with wet cement on one side, arranges the shells in flower formation, paints them and then "plants" them. His garden is a riot of colour the whole year round.
