Many thanks for running this article. One of my main concerns as Chairman of Perennial is the question of whether we are reaching everyone who needs our help. The hardest group to reach must be lone workers - especially self employed gardeners - and I always ask folk to be our eyes and ears out in the world where they may know a horticulturist who needs help for whatever reason and who doesn't know of Perennial or has 'frozen in the headlights' because of the overwhelming problems they are experiencing.
