Allow Garden Centres to open immediately
Garden Centres should be allowed to open immediately, and be able to offer safe distance shopping, deliveries and click and collect.
Why the contribution is important
This is so important as gardening is great for mental health and allows people some light exercise without leaving their homes, ideal for the elderly.
It is also crucial that the government sets out a level playing field. Gardening has become so popular over the years - down to all the hard work and investment garden centre owners have put into their businesses over the years. Gardening hasn't stopped during the lockdown and it is unfortunately B&Q and supermarkets who are reaping the benefits of garden centres' hard work because the industry itself has been closed down by the government,
This will have a catastrophic effect on the horticultural industry long term.
