    I'll never understand why garden centres are open, its just another excuse for people to be able to leave the house unnecessarily.
    Maybe because people grow their own food...and food is essential...
    And that is just in addition to the therapeutic benefits of gardening etc..

    What plants are important enough to travel for if you are planning on moving house before summer?

    Easy enough to order by mail these days.  Plenty of good nurseries that grow for the Chelsea Flower Show.

    Doesn’t really matter though since it’s permitted under the rules.

    Working within the rules does not always matter around here though, plenty of people on these threads moaning about people wearing face coverings that are not 'masks'.

    Err, the ones that make your house and garden look attractive.? It's called kerb appeal.
    P.S. Entirely different from curbing things that appeal.  ;)
