Sales surge for Runcton plant company

Runcton company The Little Botanical has seen a surge in sales as a result on the Coronavirus lockdown.

A spokesman said: "At a time of year when the whole of the UK would typically be venturing outside for a dose of sunshine and nature, the Coronavirus lockdown has meant we must stay indoors to protect our NHS.

"In order to combat the obvious mental toll this is taking, people are choosing to bring the outside inside and online plant sales are growing through the roof.

"As we enter our fifth week of isolation, it is becoming clear that a lot of people understand that improving their environment has a direct effect on their wellbeing."

Morag Hill, co-founder of The Little Botanical, said: “We really love how people all over the UK are brightening up their homes with our beautiful plants. We’re sending smiles through the post and at this difficult time, that makes us feel good about what we do.

"We’ve had so many wonderful messages from people sending plants as gifts, as well as those receiving them – just being able to brighten someone’s day is genuinely lovely at the moment”.
