Hi there, I haven’t had the chance to check in with you all. Been busy organising our village garden trail and managed to raise £918.70 in three hours! Entry was £5 for all 8 gardens and donations were requested for drinks & cakes. All proceeds went to Shropshire Mental Health Support.On top of that was successful in getting a new (better)job so after 15 years at my local school it is time for a change…. Anyway, could anyone help with identifying this plant/ shrub? Haven’t got clue!! Many thanks

Looks a bit like a seedling Buddleia. Well done with your garden trail. £5 was very reasonable for 8 Gdns. People were obviously delighted, especially with donations for the cakes, instead of being charged as usual. A really good amount raised.

It reminds me of a lilac ?

what an excellent total. Sue.
I thought it looked liked a privet seedling.

Well done Ams, that's a fantastic amount to have raised in a few hours. Sorry I can't help with the plant I.D. though.
