May be you could find out who is in charge of the station near you and could volunteer and do some gardening or do a bit of gorilla gardening secretly if not in a danger zone as health and safety issues
I couldn't do gorilla style as garden is within the station, I might contact our towns in bloom team and make a suggestion, I'll let you know what happens
I'd love to do something like that - I live next to a council 'tended' patch of grass that I'm sneakily requisitioning. I've put a small rosa rugosa in and a buddlea seedling I found - next thinking about a length of red clover along my fence line.
I can't believe someone stole your waterbutt stand - it makes me sad to think a gardener could also be a thief
Garden girl you should be very proud of your efforts. I am sure you have made many people's journeys much more enjoyable. If I travel I tend to be going through the larger stations. I never see a garden. My local small station as a couple of pots out that's it. There's is a large stretch of waste ground next to it with the old tracks. I wish I had the time to organise volunteers to do something with it.
Your thread did remind me of when I was travelling once our train was delayed at a station for about half an hour. Luckily it was Invergordan station. I didn't see a garden, but there was war time themed murals all over it. Really brightened my trip.
Victoria Sponge - got a new stand now for the water butt not up there yet as trying to make a cage with pallets to protect from being nicked and will screw the stand down to the wooden stand Like the way you have been planting bits, bit of Guerrilla gardening for you
Lunaria what great murals that station does look good
Thanks KEF Thanks all for your comments
Tootles that is a shame - any sloping banks to take over?
Still needs lots of weeding and few bit to plant, I do a bit of guerrilla gardening on the high up bit of the station done some clearing so far of brambles
still waiting for the shelters to have glass or plastic on day we may get it

Here's another pic - we have painted the back of the raised bed with bright colours

How lovely! I wish something could be done at Grantham Station but sadly it's mainly concrete...and grumpy East Coast staff!
