You may have noticed that Cottingham station is being spruced up with volunteers and staff from our organisation painting fences and planting flowers ready for Yorkshire in Bloom.
Now it’s your turn to get involved…
Are you - or anyone you know - a keen Gardener & could help us out with some donations of shrubs or perennials that we could plant at the station?
If so, please could you drop them at our office on Platform 1, Cottingham train station between 9.30am & 2.30pm today or tomorrow.
We have a judge coming on Thursday so would appreciate all the help we can get!
Thank you in advance! 🌺
