A bus driver has won a prize in the St Andrews in Bloom gardening competition.

David Baxter, who works at Stagecoach’s depot in the town, took the honours in the Stewart Meiklejohn ‘Best Open Space’ category, for the work that he and his fellow colleagues carried out, in sprucing up the garden at St Andrews bus station.

David, who is a keen gardener, put in many hours of hard work, in his free time, to get the garden looking lovely. He was also rewarded internally at Stagecoach’s Star of the Month Awards. He said:”The best feedback I get is seeing people enjoying the bus station garden.”
