Name new station garden

The scheme has adopted a patch of neglected land on Platform 1, with the Poacher Line Community Rail Partnership recruiting gardening blogger Kirsty Russell to oversee its development.

Regular work parties have seen volunteers from Network Rail, East Midlands Railway and the East Midlands Community Rail team clear the site, build, install planters and a potting shed, as well as reciving donations of top soil and bark chippings from businesses.

Kirsty and her family have also adopted the rest of the station with a view to brightening it up too.

The plan is to invite members of Rainbow Stars, the Sleaford-based charity which supports adults and children with learning difficulties, to get involved in gardening therapy.
