Re: Plants available
In my area it's pick up in the car park no deliveries. I would be scared to go pick up as the store is quite a drive for me...I think if I was stopped the police might tell me picking up plants is not an essential journey.It's frustrating....seems I won't have much colour this year

B&Q were open online here at 11pm last night, I only had to wait 4 minutes to get on to the site but I needn't have bothered.There were no bedding plants on offer here just 3 plants in a selection none of which I would want, no compost and no deliveries I guess it varies from area to area.

garden centres had no option but to close under a government directive, some with existing websites already set up are so busy getting online access is impossible. Others don't have an online facility set up. However , I have discovered that it is worth telephoning or emailing local garden centres in your area to see if they are offering a service.
My lovely local nursery is offering a free delivery of garden items over the sum of £30 and as I wanted some compost, bone meal, Rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi and bedding plants I can soon reach that sum .
I also had a email to say M & S are selling bedding plants for those lucky enough to get out of their homes.
