Disastrous why can’t nurseries be open just like supermarkets

You need to start planting Fruit and Veg. CoronaCrisisuk Where have all the big Greenhouses gone we used to have!? Market Gardening was big business years ago in the UK.

Send the flowers to cemeteries all over the world

suecresswell01 Could nurseries not switch to home delivery. I’m sure many people would be delighted to receive bedding plants at home.

Yes my brother works at a nursery/garden centre, closed but he's potting up new seedlings, can we not donate to cheer up outside areas like nursing homes, the elderly encourage them to go outside into their gardens, cheer them up whilst getting some daylight, just drop them off.
