Question
To ask the Scottish Government when it envisages garden centres will be re-opened.
Answer
Scotland's Strategic Framework sets out our approach to supressing the Covid-19 virus which is based on an assessment of each of the four harms and contains the broad measures in place in each of the protection levels.
Garden centres can open in any area designated at protection level 3 or below and are presently open on some Scottish islands, including Shetland and Orkney. For all areas in protection level 4, garden centres are closed but are able to operate a permitted collection service and fulfil on-line orders.
