Final Garden Embankment session of the Season

On Sunday 27th October FOGS’ final gardening session of the 2013 season took place between 06.00 and 09.00 – John LeG, Eric, Pete, Chris and Neil all benefiting from the extra hour of the clocks going back! Despite adverse weather forecast conditions were mild and dry. An extensive weeding of the area took place along with bulb planting. Bunty provided some welcome teas half way through the session! The garden continues to flourish and the primulas are again in flower providing an extensive splash of Autumn colour! The garden continues to attract a steady stream of compliments passed via the station staff to FOGS and directly to the volunteers themselves. It is very pleasing that the garden is appreciated by locals and visitors alike. A shared sense of pride! FOGS would like to thank Mike Franklin of Network Rail for the granting of the safety licence to permit the work and Russell Pike for overseeing it with good humour and interest.
