Give them a good hosing down, try to wash it off and dilute it as much as possible, and cross your fingers very hard.
What sort of weedkiller was it?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
What plants are they? Wash them off well as Dove has suggested and then if you can try removing the top soil surrounding the plants which'll have absorbed the lawn weed killer and replenishing it with compost so that its not going to leak out to the roots every time it rains.
If it was yesterday or before when you sprayed them, you will probably lose the lot. If it was this morning, get out there with a hosepipe, and rinse and rinse and rinse.
Can't offer anything other than has been already said.....but oh dear, I do feel sorry for people who (it's been done before) have done this.
Oh Helen ((hugs))
