After Parkrun, Linda and James made their way to South Woodford station, upon arrival the plant box was being made up. We came with some helpful suggestions about how to put screws in and what screw bit to use, also a lot of confusion about the staple gun but Linda figured it out.

Once the lining was put in, we moved it into position, and transported the gravel and soil from the car park to the platform. The soil and gravel got dumped in and then watered.

There was some discussion about which plants go where. While that was happening we took a break, and it seemed there was enough people to plant the plants, so Linda and James finished up called it a day.
