A June day and the approach to Tenterden Station is delightfully flower studded.

On the other side of the track the Tenterden picnic field receives a neat mowing from volunteer Paul.

Behind the Railway Offices Graham and Veronica carry out some much needed pruning to bushes.

More in the public gaze, is this platform flower bed on the platform. Brenda gives it some TLC.

There is an attractive display under the station 'running-in board' which wouldn't stay that way long without attention from Veronica and others.

Early in the season the Tuesday Gang give the Pullman ramp a spruce up. The planting here also requires attention from the Gardening group.

The signal box garden at Tenterden receives attention with some new planting.

Now the same bed needs to be watered - one of the many chores needing to be done.

Finally in this Tenterden section, Veronica gives the gardens in front of the station buildings some attention.

Down the line, lies Wittersham Rd station. It's springtime and now the ground can be worked again, there is a need for a heavy pruning back of many shrubs and heavy weeding too.

The J15 loco's tender has already arrived for its May visit to the railway and is a backdrop to Veronica and Brenda's continuing work on the gardens

During the general renovations to Wittersham Rd station, the opportunity is taken to cut back the overgrown garden areas on the platform.

Old railway sleepers have been formed into new planters around the platform lamp standards.

New soil is added to these planters (see 12) and Veronica is planting these out now with new shrubs and plants.

Meanwhile the embankment behind the fence is tidied up by strimming the platform embankment.

After Wittersham Rd station comes Northiam Station. Josh and Ray pause from their work in the station's kitchen garden to watch the service train arrive.

Paul and Brenda get to grips with tidying up Northiam stations picnic area and gardens after the winter.

On the other side of the track grassed areas and footpaths are revealed once again as Robin clears back tall grass and vegetation.

Getting to grips with Northiam's trackside garden. The old plants are cut back and/or weeded out and vegetables are planted and canes staked out for support.

The shrubs and flowers also get attention.

The sun and the rain brings on strong growth - the lawns need cutting again and the flower borders weeding. It's Tuesday and we get stuck in.

Rabbits are a problem and good fences they can't jump or burrow under are essential if anything is to survive their appetites.

Meanwhile the privet sprigs we planted only a couple of seasons ago is now a luxuriant hedge which has enjoyed the plentiful rainfall. Ron sweeps the cuttings up after another trim.

And then there are the platform boxes needing attention too - all in a volunteer's day's work.
