What a lovely thought. I suppose it'll be the last thing on their minds at present, but I've been thinking about peoples' gardens too. I'd love to help, but I'm in the Highlands of Scotland so perhaps a bit difficult to get plants or seedlings to where they're needed.
I will make sure i grow on more seedlings than i need - happy to meet at a service station or something to get them on their way (i have easy access to M3 and M25, which must be on the way to somewhere). I have already got my seeds so there will hopefully be lupins, delphs, agastache and rudbeckias going spare later in the year, plus surplus lavender ( although that won't like soggy soil !!). Happy for you to PM me as a reminder nearer the time Artjak
I've usually got some spare plants around and I can always make more. I wonder how we can find out what gardeners will need.
Have we forum members in the flood area? If we have, they're probably not in a position to respond at the moment. Members in or around the flood area could perhaps update us when the time is right. For now, I'll get growing.
I wonder what the time scale is here. Forecasters are talking about a change coming but it will take a while to get back to normal
Nut, I'm thinking of 2/3 months time, thank you for responding
I'm hoping that other members know people who have suffered from the flooding, OR we find a way to help gardeners who aren't necessarily members of the forum.
Probably not high priority at the present time, but as a hobby angler I fear for the fish and other species in our rivers & lakes......many will be stranded on open ground when the levels return to normal.

Even forumatti who live far away could donate the remainders of seed packets.
Chicky, thank you, and verdun and polyanthus. Who do we know who is in the affected areas?
Though I suppose that they may not be online if their house is under water.

Count me in, so far we've escaped the worst of it and I would love to help.

Artjak, would be happy to help in some way or another. I didn't have much success with seed growing last year but am happy to try again
If not, I'm sure there are other things I could help with
