Commuters ‘garden while they wait’
Volunteer gardeners at Penrith Station in Cumbria are helping stressed commuters to relax as they return to work after Covid restrictions ease – by inviting them to do a little gardening while they wait for their train. Passengers can water the planters or pick herbs to take with them on their journey, or simply walk through a wildlife garden created on disused tracks. “They love it to bits,” says volunteer Joan Robinson.
