Information from the allotment Society https://www.nsalg.org.uk/news/covid19-information/ There is also a mention of Michael Gove's comments in this article from the Guardian (other newspapers are available), he does say that people are allowed to visit allotments. Hope this helps @barry island
Does anyone know where I could some compost in view of the latest lockdown? All the garden centres are closed and even B n Q is shut. I grow all my plants in pots because I live in an apartment...
I wonder if online deliveries of garden materials will still be available?
I’ve just had a phone call from ridgeons cancelling my order for the foreseeable future. So looks like I won’t be able to finish the job anyway and my customers will be trapped inside without safely going into their garden for fresh air. I feel awful
Can't you just knock up a temporary access using scrap parts that will serve for now?
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Stay home gardener!! Contact your clients.the garden wont be going anywhere.you can pick it up again later on in the year.its not worth the risk.i thought I could,but what if my car broke down?a car accident?I'd be going into a hospital that was already full to capacity and I might get the virus as well!!not worth the risk.
I don't see why not. It's easy enough to step back if the postie or other delivery person comes through the gate or a neighbour comes up to the fence for a chat.

Totally agree with you. Apart from this one job I wouldn’t be going out. But I feel, for their own mental and physical well-being, i need to complete it.
@markos - You shouldn't. Who knows what you will touch on your way there and whether or not it's infected and thus can infect you clients and spread further. presumably they have a front door and can go for a walk.
Going out for exercise is fine and can be done in couples or family groups as long as they all live under one roof and keep away from everyone else and wash their hands and clothes when they get back. Working or playing in one's own garden is fine too as long as we stay clear of neighbours and passers by.
Plenty of info on the govt website and also the BBC's website and daily Covid broadcasts. Why second guess and risk spreading the virus. It may kill someone you love or an NHS or other essential services person or persons.
