Transport needed for flooded gardens

artjakartjak Posts: 4,167

The support for 'help for flooded gardens' has taken off in spectacular waysimage

We now need a little help from everyone for people transporting plants across the country.

If anyone can volunteer a van, truck, or even the back of a hatchback for a leg of the journey to the Somerset levels, there would be so much gratitude from so many sourcesIt's OK for me, I'm a retired wrinkly with an LPG car and can get from Norfolk to Somerset via staying with a friend and it won't cost too much... but for working people who don't have time, they can only take the plants so far.

I know all you lovely forumatti will come through for this, it matters, these gardens down in Somerset have been destroyed; either by water or the bulldozers moving earth to be a buffer against the flood water.image

    I haven't passed my test yet, but could ask mum if she wouldn't mind, I'm sure she'd be fine with it. We've only got a little hatchback, but it can fit a surprising amount in image

    Hi Philippa,  apologies, it has only just dawned on me that Bridgewater is nearer to me than Glastonbury - sorry, senior moment there!

    If and when I get another load of plants, I will contact you first if that's okay.
