The plans for London’s Garden Bridge may have been
jettisoned, but passengers on the northern section of the Jubilee line can enjoy some greenery on their commute - plant-loving
volunteers have turned Willesden Green tube station into a mini-oasis.
The
platforms are bedecked with flowering planters. Even a wheelbarrow has been pressed into service.
Willesden artist Kevin Vincenzo
Keating has created a Wishbone sculpture for one of the flower beds,
and against all odds, the espaliered apple tree seems to be thriving.
On
Sunday, August 20, from 4pm to 5.30 pm, there will be free guided tours of the platforms by some
of those involved in the transformation, plus a chance to buy home-made cakes
and maybe some little gifts. All proceeds will go to the continued greening of the area.
