Garden centres and growers hit by Covid-19 crisis

I’ve heard that commercial growers who usually supply garden centres are now (because of lockdown) delivering orders to people’s homes. Does anyone know any who are doing this? I haven’t found them online. I mean ones that don’t usually supply to individuals. I’d like to do my bit for a small business that’s been hit by the crisis. Thanks.

I'd like to know the answer to this too.

Anyone?

I have one close to me, but they are only delivering to a very local area. Keep trawling your local wholesalers. Ours only started last week, and they have been inundated. I received a load of Geraniums today, and they were lovely, and cheaper than from a garden center. I actually got notified of this on "Nextdoor.co.uk".

I've asked on Nextdoor, which is pretty useful for local things. Had several suggestions, but not yet found anyone locally who could deliver. So anyone delivering nationally would also be good.

All those plants withering away and money lost to the growers -- such a shame.
