Bricks and wood were used to smash windows and sheds at West Tarring allotments, in Ringmer Road.
The damage was discovered when allotment-owner Nicole Child was called by a neighbour to say plots she had tended for three years were among those damaged.

"We are all peaceful people. I can't understand vandalism like that, where people are working to improve the environment for everybody."
The vandalism was the latest in a number of attacks on the allotments in recent weeks.
Police have now stepped up patrols in the area and urged witnesses to get in touch.
