McMillan Encourages Local Organisations to Get Involved in Gardening

Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP) has today (Wednesday) urged local organisations and voluntary groups in Inverclyde to get involved in gardening through ScotRail's Adopt a Station scheme. ScotRail's Adopt A Station policy encourages local groups and individuals to put stations at the heart of their communities by restoring a floral presence, and further information can be obtained on the ScotRail website.

Some of the stations in Inverclyde which have benefited from the scheme are Wemyss Bay through the Friends of Wemyss Bay Station and Gourock where the Horticultural Society have expressed interest in getting involved.

Mr McMillan said;

"I would encourage local organisation and volunteers in Inverclyde to contact ScotRail to find out how they can get involved in horticultural activities in and around local train stations in Inverclyde.

"This is an excellent opportunity for local organisations to get out in the fresh air and into their local community and in turn this will help improve the scenery throughout many parts of Inverclyde.

"Therefore, I would encourage anyone or any organisation who is interested to contact First ScotRail and check out their website."
