It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of our beloved CEO Caroline Drummond MBE, who passed away yesterday.

Caroline transformed LEAF from small beginnings 30 years ago to where we are today. There are no words to express how much she will be missed.

This is the first #FathersDay since my dad passed away at the end of March. Here's a favourite photo of him tinkering with his moped in the backyard of our old house in Enderby, with my brother Martin Emmett in the foreground.

The British flower & plants sector is in a serious crisis! Far greater support needed, from financial assistance, better access to CBILS and reopening routes to market 🌷

Thanks to my brother for spreading the word - please can colleagues also spread the message!

After careful consideration we have taken the sad decision to close our four RHS Gardens from today until further notice. We're sorry for the disappointment this will cause and we will re-open to visitors as soon as Government advice allows, and when we feel it is safe to do so.

We’ve taken the decision to close our parks and gardens to restrict the spread of coronavirus. Our countryside and coastal locations remain open with parking charges waived, but we encourage people to stay local and observe social distancing.

Excellent briefing from Martin Emmett of Tristram Plants on the potential harm of Brexit on horticulture - such an important part of our local economy.Tom Brake .🔸Adrian Moss🔸 Jonathan Brown 🔶
