Exhibition Station Flowerbeds

Our Club helps to keep Exhibition railway station looking pretty through a continuous programme of planting colourful flowers and weeding.

Exhibition Station can be exceptionally busy when there is a popular event on in one of the SECC halls, and members of our Club do all we can to make sure the thousands who arrive by train are greeted with the pleasant sight of colourful flowerbeds on the station platforms. We go there regularly to plant new flowers and to keep down the inevitable weeds.
