We love: the London Road Station Partnership

Posted:21 February 2012

We recently connected with a fantastic local initiative, the London Road Station Partnership – a group made up of neighbours living near the lovely nineteenth-century London Road station, just outside the centre of Brighton. Not only do we love them, we admire them too!

Through their local Residents’ Association (DRARA), these friends and neighbours got together with Southern Railway in April 2011 to set up a station community partnership. They now garden on two small plots on either side of the station building. In one, growing shade-tolerant ornamental plants and in the other, edible plants in raised beds.

The Garden House was delighted to contribute a couple of attractive planters to enhance the plot as it develops.  They even blogged about us!  Click here.

Meeting regularly to work on the gardens, usually on a TUESDAY between 3pm and 5.30pm, they’ve said they’d be delighted to welcome anybody who’s interested in community gardening, particularly if you live nearby.  To check out the daily Workdays diary of tasks, click here. 

The LRSP are also hoping to develop displays showing aspects of the history of London Road Station and residents’ memories of it.  To find our more or get involved, you can contact LRSP at lrsp@hotmail.co.uk or through their blog.
