Gardenjeannie's package of seeds have arrived safely and are being distributed to local gardeners and gardening clubs for sowing. Message posted by Andrew on the facebook page:
"I have to say I was quite moved when I opened the box. Peoples generosity really does know no bounds. this is no longer just an 'idea', but a real thing where we are helping people. A great feeling!"
Andrew's a no-nonsense chap so this really says a lot. Well done everyone!
Oh, Rosie; will you say hello to Andrew and the others on facebook for me? Sorry to be such a techno phobe. I have an old friend in London who is on facebook; perhaps I should get her to guide me through it
We have two offers of help from the Palletline network. Depots in Norwich (NR16 2JU) and Llanelli (SA14 8YP) will receive our plants and arrange for the to be passed on to Framptons, who will then get them to Somerset. For free!
So if anyone is within striking distance of those two depots, let me know and I'll give you details.
Hoping for more depots to sign up soon, fingers crossed....
Anyone who is able to offer spare plants and get them to the Guildford / Haslemere / Camberley area.... we now have arrangements to relay them to Somerset. If you can help, post here and we'll put you in touch with Chicky (our 'south east hub'!)
