Allow garden centres to open urgently
See above
Why the contribution is important
Gardens are essential at the moment for both mental and physical well being. They ease loneliness in all age groups from children to elderly.
We can't buy the things We need at the moment to nurture them
There are only 3 or 4 in Edinburgh. It wouldnt be difficult

They need this to happen soon to ensure they get the seasonal revenue which is highest from May onwards

I feel sorry for the nurseries that are having to throw away their produce because the garden centres are closed. The government is losing tax revenue (VAT) and people are losing their jobs and possibly their businesses. Come on Nicola, let's have a level playing field and let garden centres open.

We open our website on a Saturday at noon to allow people to order deliveries for the next week and we have to close it the next day because we have over 1000 requests (a van can usually do 25 of these in a day!
Garden centre owners have always operated sensibly, we agree coffee shops within cannot be open just now but garden centres certainly could and should. It is completely unfair that the likes of B&Q can and that supermarkets have increased their garden selections because there is such demand and yet the people who have worked for years to create this demand by building up these garden centres are the ones being punished! Please open garden centres as soon as possible

Vast majority of garden centres sell clothing ,gifts etc
Would just encourage people to come to get out of the house so encouraging non essential travel
Click and collect or delivery is a better option
Don’t forget about the poor staffs mental health and safety in these places
