"Effects on Gardeners by Brexit"?

[ian mcdonald]

Maggi, you don,t seem to have much confidence in our own politicians and their advisors. Perhaps they are no longer capable of running a country?

I know how to run a tap 
If I would get a pint for every lie told the public (for and against the brexit) I would probably be the rest if my life drunk 
Seems the definition of a politician is "Legal Liar "
Luckily plant people are different

A perfect moment for non-Brits to donate to the SRGC Forum.

In 6 months i'm pretty sure the sterling will be depreciated because of the needs to hold up the exports and decrease imports.
That's a simple rule that many countries (Quantitative easing) are currently playing at, but we all know that's not good for the future. between 1986 and 1988 the goverment devaluated the Sterling because the +/-12% unemployment, they're now playing the same music.

And yes a donation to the club is now cheaper for € folks

Actually against most currencies John - a good time to join or donate if you are overseas, whether you live in Canada, New Zealand, Moldova, Morocco or North Korea (yes, really). And the seed exchange is soon too!

Given that I see huge trucks delivering plants to the local quite tiny garden centre coming from various European countries (and the UK) I don't think there will be so much impact on mainstream gardening and plant availability. I see more and more plants being given "trade marks" or whatever and it seems to me this is now fairly big business. Prices may go up but I don't think much more than the market will bear.

What might get more difficult is obtaining the rarer things from Europe which aren't mass produced. But, then, I reflect, other than some seeds from Jan Bravenboer I never done any EU purchasing. Pure laziness I guess.

I may of course be totally wrong. It's been known to happen.
