| Shrubs and perennials on Platform 4 |
At the start of this year I posted an article praising the work of the volunteers of Friends of Kidsgrove Station in restoring and improving the lovely gardens on the platforms of our local station.

Even in the winter they looked immaculate, but now the summer is here (well, sort of...) the gardens are really blooming.

Sadly, there have been a few problems with theft of plants and baskets, but not the level vandalism that some doom-merchants predicted.

It's always a pleasure when using the station to arrive a few minutes early and see what new plant or planters have been added.
Hopefully other passengers also appreciate everything the Friends have done. It's really been an incredible transformation.
