The story of the Wanstead station geraniums’ winter home

For the 10th year running, the Wanstead Community Gardeners have brought the Wanstead station geraniums inside for the winter.

“It’s the perfect place for them. Four or five troughs sit on the ledge by the window. Lots of light, frost-free but not warm… They flower all winter. One would have thought the idea to be a no-brainer, but it wasn’t always like that. When I first asked, TfL staff looked very doubtful. We brought them inside anyway, and now they’re firmly part of the Wanstead scene!” said Marian Temple.
