Ruswarp gardening group – keeping their village pretty!
Monday 20th May
The next time you are driving or walking through Ruswarp, or passing by the train station, take a moment to admire the flowers, shrubs, tubs and lawns. The extensive garden area, including the station, is kept looking beautiful by volunteers.
Says Ruswarp Gardening Group leader Mary Degazon: “I have been helping keep Ruswarp beautiful for 15 years, together with other volunteers. We are a friendly group and meet on the Green every Monday at 1:00pm It’s very enjoyable and it keeps us fit. After our gardening stint, we often retire to our fine hostelry, the Bridge Inn, for a coffee or something a little stronger!”
