Have they forgotten the garden centres are closed? I can’t understand why they and the celebrity gardeners aren’t doing more to press the government to allow the centres to open.

We’re told that gardening is good for us and we can spend as much time as we wish in the garden but aren’t allowed to buy the plants we may need.

I hope all amateur gardeners will write to their local MP urging them to get behind this industry, which is as important for our wellbeing as is the daily walk.
