🌱 A Busy Day at Lewes Station! 🪏🌻

Today we made a great start on overhauling the 41 planters at Lewes Station! 🌿

It’s a big job, but our volunteers are relishing the opportunity to breathe new life into the station gardens under the new leadership of GIA (Gardening In Action) CIC.

🧤 Today’s work included weeding, pruning and cutting back plants in the planters on Platform 2, tackling overgrown herbaceous plants along the border on Platform 3, and giving the planters under cover some much-needed watering. 💧

There’s plenty more to do, but it’s fantastic to see the improvements already taking shape!

🌻 Come and Grow With Us!

Fancy getting involved? We’re always keen to welcome new volunteers to our community station gardening projects:

Whether you’re an experienced gardener or simply enjoy getting outdoors, meeting people and making a difference in your local community, we’d love to hear from you! 💚

🌿 Great progress at Seaford Station today

We refreshed the first two planters by cutting back and carefully lifting the existing plants, topping up the planting mix, then replanting with a combination of established plants and new additions.

A very special thank you to our volunteer Anne for her continued support and dedication, including helping to keep the planters watered and thriving.

There is still more to complete, but the restoration is now well underway.

🌿 Seaford Station is entering Phase 2 of our planter restoration project!

Thanks to the fantastic support of our volunteers, the planters have been repainted and weekly watering is keeping everything thriving. The next stage is to refresh the planting, introduce new plants, and install our interpretation signs.

If you’d like to help make Seaford Station an even greener gateway to our town, we’d love to welcome you.

Together, we’re growing something the whole community can be proud of.
