A small group of volunteers who care for the gardens on Platforms 1 & 2 at Dumfries Railway Station. The group is creating a 2nd wildflower area to encourage pollinators and developing a woodland area to aid more diversity. They continue to plant perennials, spring and summer bulbs and berried, colourful shrubs to provide as much all year round colour and interest as possible for humans, birds and insects. Wildlife is encouraged by providing food, water and nest boxes for birds, insect hotels and woodpiles for shelter.
