A prestigious new competition has been launched to transform railway stations into vibrant floral hubs, with five gardening teams now shortlisted for the Royal Horticultural Society’s Railway Stations in Bloom award. Building on the long-standing tradition of Britain in Bloom, which has seen UK towns beautify public spaces since 1964, this initiative aims to bring colour and life to often overlooked transport hubs.
