We recently carried out a survey to see whether people were planning ahead for a dry summer in the garden, and the possibility of a hosepipe ban.

There are certain things we always like to check before we go on holiday; no one likes to come back home to find milk past it’s sell-by date or dry, wilted houseplants in need of some TLC. But how much thought do we give to the well-being of our garden plants while we’re away on holiday?
