The British Association of Landscape Industries has received enquiries from members regarding whether all nurseries need to close during the third lockdown.
Government guidance states that only nurseries which operate a retail (i.e. public-facing) business model must close their doors, and can still offer delivery or click-and-collect services. Wholesale (i.e. business to business) operations may continue to operate, and site owners, managers, staff and customers can travel to premises as necessary - subject to COVID-secure working practices.
This advice remains the same as it has been since early January.
