'It's a win-win situation,' explains Smart Plant founder George Wiliams. 'Our growers stand a better chance of financial survival for every plant we manage to sell, it also gives them and the rest of the country some hope for the future. What we effectively want is for people to enjoy plants in the name of British Business and our NHS.'

'The response to our first week has been unbelievable,' George adds. 'We're selling hundreds of plants a day and our growers are ecstatic. We have already donated thousands to the NHS and hopefully greened up a few thumbs.'
