Gardeners in Sussex are frustrated that the forthcoming hosepipe band that will be imposed on the region next month will have a negative impact on their activities.
Indeed, various events in the area could be under threat, with fears that the Lewes Tulip Festival could be forced to cancel its run.
However, local newspaper The Argus reports that Seaford in Bloom is hoping to avoid being hit by the ban.
This is because baskets and other floral displays throughout the town will be kept fresh with the use of water from their sub-contractor's reservoir.
The group are not the only people to have turned to this solution, as retired vegetable grower and chairman of an Oxfordshire gardening club Richard Preston told the BBC he has been preparing his own reservoir for some time.
Individuals who have not done this could help their plants to conserve water and other nutrients by laying down mulch around the plants.
This can be done with chippers and shredders, which recycle garden waste into this valuable substance.
