Adopt a Station
Since 2018 Cardiff East Rotary has adopted Lisvane and Thornhill Station with club members looking after the floral displays through the year.
Transport for Wales runs an Adopt a Station scheme to help keep unstaffed stations clean, welcoming and attractive for passengers. Cardiff East Rotary Club proudly supports this initiative at Lisvane and Thornhill station, where members regularly care for the planters, water the displays and help maintain a pleasant environment for everyone who uses the station. Together, volunteers contribute around 300 hours of their time each year.
The Club creates and maintains seasonal floral displays throughout the year, planting colourful summer arrangements and refreshing the planters with winter displays. Regular watering and care help keep the plants healthy and ensure the station remains bright and inviting.
Station users often share positive feedback, saying how much they value the colour, care and sense of community the displays bring to their journeys.
A recent post on the Llanishen and Thornhill Community page captured the public appreciation for the project:
“Many thanks to the men and women of Cardiff East Rotary Club for providing the lovely planters at Lisvane and Thornhill railway station. Cheered me up on a grey rainy morning on my way to London.”
