We started as a community garden. Station users donated plants and flowerbeds. Local businesses and schools sponsored and made beds to launch the garden. We have since branched out into many other activities, but the garden is at the heart of it all.  

We also work to improve the whole station for all station users. We persuaded GTR to paint the footbridge, and are working with Alexandra Palace to improve signage. With Network Rail, we are clearing litter and improving the banks, and have many more plans to make the station better for all who use it, whether locals or visitors.

We hold regular Sunday afternoon Friends Gardening Parties at the station. Just a couple of hours of watering, gardening and socialising, usually followed by a drink in the Starting Gate.
