Essence of East Grinstead in Art

East Grinstead Town Council has teamed up with Jenny Watson to help showcase historic landmarks of the town. These colourful, bespoke planters along Railway Approach showcase East Grinstead’s many historic buildings and landmarks and brighten the street.

The artworks were hand drawn, by Jenny Watson and digitally coloured by a local business The Sign Company; printed onto vinyl and wrapped around the planters, working in one continuous loop around each pot. The planters add a real sense of vibrancy to the town during the greyer months.
