The Whistlestop Heritage Garden needs helpers to have the garden looking its best for a special occasion on 14 May.
A Southern Downs Steam Railway train will visit the Stanthorpe Railway Station on 14 May as part of Stanthorpe’s 150th anniversary celebrations.
The event is expected to attract history buffs, steam train enthusiasts and members of the public keen to be part of this event.
The Whistlestop committee is eager to have the Heritage Garden opposite the railway station looking its best on this special day.
The original gardens were established soon after the railway opened in 1881.
Since 2008, a small group of hardworking volunteers has been restoring and maintaining the Heritage Garden.
Recent rain has hampered efforts to maintain the garden and the committee is appealing to members of the community to come forward to assist with trimming, tidying, weeding and replanting.
If you are able to assist please contact Carol on 0408 552 774 or call in at the Whistlestop Garden on Thursday or Friday mornings.
