I’ve ordered stuff on line. So I have a datura coming, a rhododendron, tuberoses, and other stuff?

It’s sad but certainly not an essential service.

"Horrified" is a bit dramatic. Some clowns were buying grow-bags and fertiliser, which is certainly not essential.

If the garden centers were open people would see that as another reason to go out and they are usually places that have to be driven to therefor more cars on the road as well.

I was horrified to hear this morning of nursery and garden centre stock having to go into skips because they are to close as 'non-essential'.

Gardening is essential to mental and physical health, and as for the fate the pollinators we shall not be supporting, it is madness. Growing food in our current circumstances non-essential?

It's said that most won't recover from the loss if they can't trade at this, their busiest time of year.

What can we do?
