P-05-1144 Re-open garden centres in Wales as soon as it is possible

This petition was submitted by Nicola Pugh, having collected a total of 11,217 signatures.

Text of Petition:                     

Re-open garden centres in Wales as soon as it is possible:

- Gardening keeps people at home

- Gardening brings significant mental and physical benefits

- Garden centres are large, airy spaces with excellent safety measures in place

- The plant supply chain cannot be switched off and on. In many cases plants go to waste if they cannot reach garden centres

- Online, click and collect and home deliveries are not the answer. They are particularly difficult for independent garden centres.
