Hope your garden party went with a swing Rosie, weather here in Bath still very hot and sunny so hope you had the same (although I would like some rain tonight)
Well, I've heard back from our friends in Somerset. At the moment the demand for plants has died down (most are now in the ground, and the big clean-up effort is focused on homes and interiors now). Andrew suggests that we should avoid building up a backlog of plants in pots that need watering over the summer, so the pressure is off for now.
Huge, huge thanks from everyone on the levels to everyone who has done so much over the past few months. The boost to morale, as well as the boost to gardens, just can't be over-stated. I've had a message from Gardeners' World Magazine that they might want to run an article on what we've been doing (well done Artjak!), so I'll let you all know how that goes.

A big hi-five to everyone involved I think!
I do hope all those affected by the flooding get their homes sorted out before the winter
That's encouraging Philippa
